Nvidia shares reached a new all time high as the chipmaker neared a $6 trillion valuation, while tokenized versions of its stock continue expanding across crypto platforms. Nvidia approached a $6 trillion market capitalization on Tuesday as its stock climbed to another all time high, extending a rally that has made the chipmaker the world’s most valuable listed company. Shares rose as much as nearly 2% on Tuesday morning, reaching a record $243.37 before giving up some of those gains. Nvidia remained higher on the day, pushing its market value above $5.8 trillion and closer to a threshold no company has ever reached. Nvidia would need to trade at roughly $249 per share to reach a $6 trillion valuation. The stock has risen about 28% in 2026, adding roughly $1.2 trillion to Nvidia’s market capitalization. Apple, the second largest company by market value, was valued at about $4.86 trillion as of Monday, leaving a gap of roughly $900 billion between the two companies. Nvidia has also contributed more than any other company to the S&P 500’s roughly 14% advance this year, according to Bloomberg data. Advertisement The rally follows another strong earnings report from Nvidia. The company reported $96.2 billion in fiscal second quarter revenue, up 106% from a year earlier, and forecast third quarter revenue of $108 billion, plus or minus 2%. Nvidia also reported $89 billion in data center revenue during the quarter, up 117% from a year earlier. Nvidia added another catalyst in late September when its board authorized an additional $150 billion under its existing share repurchase program, increasing its remaining authorization to $235 billion.

Huang has also described Nvidia as “the world’s first and only growth value stock,” arguing that the company combines rapid growth with a valuation that remains relatively low compared with its historical levels. The advance marks a sharp reversal from earlier this year. Nvidia shares were still down about 11% for 2026 as of March 30, when investors were increasingly questioning whether the hundreds of billions of dollars being committed to AI infrastructure would generate sufficient returns. Sentiment has since shifted as spending on AI infrastructure has continued and Nvidia has maintained a strong revenue outlook. Nvidia’s growing dominance has also extended beyond selling chips. The company’s equity investments in AI companies reached $99 billion as of July 26, up from roughly $7 billion a year earlier. Nvidia has committed more than $40 billion to investments in 2026 alone across frontier AI labs, infrastructure providers and other companies across the AI ecosystem. The chipmaker also agreed in September to acquire open source AI platform Hugging Face for about $12.9 billion. The transaction includes roughly $11.9 billion for shareholders and up to $1 billion in equity based retention awards, with the deal expected to close in the first half of 2027. Nvidia’s rise has also increasingly crossed into crypto markets as tokenized stocks have expanded onchain. As the largest company in the world by market capitalization, Nvidia is now represented by several tokenized equity issuers that allow eligible investors to gain exposure to its shares through blockchain based assets. xStocks offers Nvidia as NVDAx, a token backed one to one by underlying Nvidia shares held in custody. Ondo Finance offers Nvidia through NVDAon, which is fully backed by underlying shares and cash in transit and is available across networks including Ethereum, Solana and BNB Chain. Other issuers have also brought Nvidia onchain. Coinbase offers NVDAc through its tokenized stocks platform on Base. Robinhood Europe offers its own NVDA Stock Token, although its structure differs because the product is a derivative contract that tracks Nvidia shares rather than conveying ownership of the underlying stock.

The Global Dollar stablecoin has grown from hundreds of millions at launch, with most of its supply concentrated on X Layer, Robinhood Chain, and Solana Paxos’ Global Dollar stablecoin, USDG, now carries a market cap of $3.2 billion. That figure represents a 340% increase over the past year. For a token that launched in November 2024 with supply in the hundreds of millions, that is a steep climb. Where the money actually sits USDG’s circulating supply and market cap reached approximately $3.2 billion as of late September 2026. The growth is not evenly spread, though. X Layer, the blockchain network tied to crypto exchange OKX, holds the largest share, with roughly $1.51 billion in USDG. Robinhood Chain comes second at about $703 million. Solana rounds out the top three with approximately $631 million. Together, those three networks hold the bulk of all USDG in circulation. All three networks are partners in the Global Dollar Network, or GDN. That is the consortium built around USDG, and its members have integrated the token as a native asset on their chains. Advertisement Native issuance matters more than it sounds. A bridged stablecoin is essentially an IOU wrapped around a token that lives elsewhere, which adds a layer of risk. A native token is minted directly on the chain where people use it, with no middleman wrapper involved. Trading volume tells its own story On that front, USDG’s numbers are striking. Uniswap trading volume for the stablecoin reached $21.8 billion in September 2026. AI, tech, and the markets they move—in one daily briefing. Daily. Free.

That single venue accounted for 98% of USDG’s decentralized exchange activity. The expansion has continued into October. On October 6, 2026, USDG launched natively on Arbitrum One, the Ethereum scaling network, alongside support from multiple DeFi protocols. The compliance pitch USDG was issued by Paxos Digital Singapore and Paxos Issuance Europe. Paxos is the same firm behind several other regulated dollar tokens. The stablecoin is backed 1:1 by US dollar cash and cash equivalents. Paxos publishes monthly attestations to support that peg. The Singapore and European entities behind the token also signal where Paxos sees demand. Both jurisdictions have pushed toward formal rules for stablecoin issuers, and USDG was built to fit inside those frameworks from day one. What this means for the stablecoin market USDG did not grow by convincing individual users one at a time. It grew by getting embedded in the plumbing of exchanges and blockchains that already have users. OKX’s X Layer alone holds nearly half the supply. Robinhood Chain brings in a retail brokerage’s audience. Solana adds a high-throughput network with an active DeFi scene. The GDN operates a model where reserve-generated yields are distributed among over 150 partners, fostering widespread adoption across different chains. The risk is the flip side of the same coin. When a handful of partners hold most of the supply, a strategic shift at any one of them could move USDG’s numbers sharply. If X Layer’s activity cooled, a meaningful chunk of the market cap would feel it. The Uniswap concentration raises a similar question. A token with 98% of its DEX volume on one protocol has deep roots in a single plot of soil. Broader DeFi integrations, like the ones accompanying the Arbitrum launch, could help diversify that over time. The things to watch are fairly concrete. Does the Arbitrum rollout attract meaningful supply? Does DEX volume spread beyond Uniswap? And does the supply mix shift away from its heavy reliance on X Layer?

The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mr Olayemi Cardoso. Photo: CBN The Central Bank of Nigeria has said its decision to cut the Monetary Policy Rate from 26.5 per cent to 23 per cent was designed to stimulate productive activities while sustaining efforts to bring inflation down to single digits. The Director, Stakeholder Engagement and Institutional Relations Department of the CBN, Mrs Hakama Sidi-Ali, said this on Tuesday at the CBN Special Day during the 21st Abuja International Trade Fair. “The Bank recently reset the Monetary Policy Rate from 26.5 per cent to 23 per cent and recalibrated the Standing Facilities Corridor to +50/-300 basis points around the MPR, to support productive activities without losing focus on bringing inflation down to single digit from its current position of 15.39 per cent,” Sidi-Ali said. The 350-basis-point reduction signalled a shift towards monetary easing after an extended period of tight policy aimed at containing inflation and stabilising the foreign exchange market. Sidi-Ali said the CBN, working with fiscal authorities, had implemented reforms aimed at strengthening macroeconomic stability, restoring investor confidence and supporting sustainable growth. According to her, businesses are better positioned to plan, invest and expand when inflation moderates, exchange rates are relatively stable and the financial system remains sound. See more Punch stories on Google. Add Punch on Google She said, “Resilient trade thrives in an environment of macroeconomic stability. Businesses plan and invest with greater confidence when inflation is moderated, exchange rates are relatively stable, and the financial system is sound.” The CBN director also urged financial institutions to increase financing to productive sectors, while businesses should embrace innovation, strengthen governance and seek new markets. “Financial institutions must continue to support productive sectors of the economy. Businesses must embrace innovation, improve governance, and explore new markets,” she added. The CBN also disclosed that Nigeria’s gross external reserves exceeded $55bn as of September 18, 2026, which it described as the highest level in 18 years. Sidi-Ali attributed the improvement to increased foreign exchange inflows from remittances, investments and greater participation in the formal financial system. She also said the unification of the foreign exchange market had enhanced stability, strengthened investor confidence and reduced market distortions. The CBN official identified the Payments System Vision 2028 and the banking sector recapitalisation exercise as other reforms intended to strengthen the financial system. She said the apex bank would continue implementing reforms focused on price stability and financial system resilience while supporting increased competitiveness and sustainable economic growth. Speaking at the event, the President of the Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Emeka Obegolu, called on the CBN to deepen access to affordable financing for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises. He said closer collaboration between the CBN, financial institutions and the organised private sector would help businesses convert economic opportunities into sustainable enterprises and employment. “We encourage the CBN to continue strengthening initiatives that improve MSMEs’ access to affordable and sustainable financing, deepen financial inclusion, promote digital financial services and enhance the capacity of small businesses to access formal credit,” Obegolu said. He also called for increased financing for agriculture, manufacturing, trade, technology and export-oriented businesses, noting that high operating costs and limited access to capital continued to constrain businesses. According to him, targeted financing, credit guarantees and innovative funding mechanisms could help businesses overcome some of those challenges.

Strict editorial policy that focuses on accuracy, relevance, and impartiality The highest standards in reporting and publishing Strict editorial policy that focuses on accuracy, relevance, and impartiality TL;DR The CFTC has opened an advanced rulemaking process around retail commodity transactions involving crypto assets. The agency is asking for public input as it considers a more comprehensive federal framework for leveraged and margined retail crypto markets. This is an early-stage rulemaking step, not a final licensing regime that takes effect immediately. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is moving toward a more formal federal framework for one of crypto’s messier regulatory areas: leveraged retail trading. On October 5, the agency published an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking focused on retail commodity transactions involving crypto assets. The document begins a consultation process rather than imposing a finished set of rules. The CFTC Wants A Uniform Market Framework The rulemaking centers on Section 2(c)(2)(D) of the Commodity Exchange Act, which covers certain leveraged, margined or financed retail commodity transactions. Crypto has long tested the edges of that framework because platforms can offer products that look economically similar while operating under very different state and federal structures. The CFTC says it wants input on how crypto asset transactions should fit into a uniform national market framework, including questions around intermediaries, customer protections, market integrity and the structure of regulated trading venues. For exchanges, the potential upside is clearer federal treatment. The trade-off is that a federal framework would likely bring more explicit requirements around controls, disclosures and the handling of customer assets. Nothing Has Been Licensed Yet The procedural status is the most important part of the story. An Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking is an invitation to shape the rules that may come later. It is not the final rule and it does not automatically create a new category of licensed crypto venue today. Comments can influence the next proposal, and any binding framework would still need to move through the agency’s rulemaking process. That makes this a beginning rather than an endpoint. Even so, it is a meaningful one. The CFTC is no longer simply applying older commodity law case by case to a rapidly changing retail crypto market. It is openly considering a purpose-built structure for these transactions. The details will determine whether that structure becomes a workable national alternative to the current patchwork or simply adds another regulatory layer for platforms to navigate.

Strict editorial policy that focuses on accuracy, relevance, and impartiality The highest standards in reporting and publishing Strict editorial policy that focuses on accuracy, relevance, and impartiality TL;DR Hyperscale Data says it held about $56.4 million in Bitcoin, cash and restricted cash as of October 4. That total included 219.9586 BTC valued at roughly $19 million and approximately $37.4 million of cash and restricted cash. The $56.4 million figure is not the value of the company’s Bitcoin alone. Hyperscale Data has given investors a fresh look at the balance sheet behind its Bitcoin and data-center strategy. The NYSE American-listed company said it held approximately $56.4 million in Bitcoin, cash and restricted cash as of October 4. Bitcoin accounted for 219.9586 BTC, which the company valued at around $19 million using a closing price of $86,480. Cash and restricted cash made up the remaining roughly $37.4 million. Bitcoin Is One Part Of A Larger Liquidity Position That breakdown matters because a headline saying Hyperscale has “$56.4 million in Bitcoin reserves” would be wrong. The figure combines the company’s digital asset position with ordinary cash. Hyperscale has been accumulating Bitcoin while also developing its Michigan AI data-center operation, so the balance-sheet update gives investors a sense of how much liquid capacity sits behind both strategies. Executive Chairman Milton “Todd” Ault III said the company remains focused on strengthening its balance sheet to support its core businesses and the expansion of the Michigan site. The mix also shows why corporate Bitcoin stories increasingly need to be read alongside the rest of the treasury. A company can hold BTC as a reserve asset while still needing large cash balances for construction, equipment, working capital and debt obligations. The Data-Center Business Still Drives The Operating Story Hyperscale expects to continue reshaping the company around high-performance computing infrastructure. Bitcoin therefore sits inside a broader corporate transition rather than replacing it. The latest numbers put a concrete figure on that position: just under 220 BTC and $37.4 million of cash and restricted cash. For shareholders, future updates will be worth watching for two separate reasons. One is whether the Bitcoin balance keeps growing. The other is whether the company’s cash position remains strong enough to fund the capital-intensive expansion it is pursuing in AI infrastructure.

Strict editorial policy that focuses on accuracy, relevance, and impartiality The highest standards in reporting and publishing Strict editorial policy that focuses on accuracy, relevance, and impartiality TL;DR Genius Group has restarted Bitcoin purchases, buying 10 BTC for approximately $854,000. The company paid an average of $85,364 per Bitcoin across purchases made between October 2 and October 5. The renewed buying follows the removal of a court injunction that had previously restricted the company’s ability to raise funds and purchase Bitcoin. Genius Group is buying Bitcoin again. The AI-powered education company said on October 6 that it acquired 10 BTC for about $854,000 between October 2 and October 5, paying an average price of $85,364 per coin. The purchase marks the resumption of a treasury strategy that had previously been disrupted by legal restrictions on the company’s capital activity. A Court Ruling Cleared The Way For New Purchases Genius Group had been prevented from issuing shares, raising funds and purchasing Bitcoin under a preliminary injunction. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit vacated that injunction on August 31, removing the restriction and giving the company room to resume its treasury plan. The latest 10 BTC purchase is small compared with the balance sheets of the largest corporate Bitcoin holders, but its importance to Genius is more about direction than absolute size. Management has made Bitcoin one of the pillars of a wider treasury plan alongside AI assets. That makes each new purchase part of a deliberate capital-allocation strategy rather than an isolated crypto trade. The Treasury Plan Still Carries Bitcoin Price Risk Genius has set ambitious long-term targets for both its Bitcoin and AI asset holdings. Those targets should not be confused with assets already on the balance sheet. What has actually happened in this update is much simpler: the company has restarted buying and added 10 BTC at a disclosed average price. That exposes shareholders to the same basic trade-off seen in other corporate treasury strategies. If Bitcoin appreciates, the reserve can strengthen the asset side of the balance sheet. If it falls, the company absorbs mark-to-market volatility that has little to do with the day-to-day performance of its education business. For now, the new purchase confirms that the legal interruption did not end Genius Group’s Bitcoin plan. The company has returned to the market, and future filings will show how quickly it intends to scale from a 10 BTC restart toward the much larger treasury ambitions management has outlined.

Strict editorial policy that focuses on accuracy, relevance, and impartiality The highest standards in reporting and publishing Strict editorial policy that focuses on accuracy, relevance, and impartiality TL;DR Bringin has opened an invite-only beta of euro business accounts for companies using Bitcoin and stablecoins. Businesses get a named euro vIBAN and SEPA access while retaining control of their Bitcoin through self-custody infrastructure. The beta is already being used by 15 businesses and is available to companies across 30 European countries. European businesses that use Bitcoin are getting a new attempt at solving an old problem: keeping crypto-native treasury operations connected to ordinary euro banking. Bringin has opened an invite-only beta of business accounts that combine a named euro vIBAN, SEPA payments, Bitcoin and stablecoin support, and self-custody wallets. The company says the product is already being tested by 15 businesses across its target market. The Key Design Choice Is Who Holds The Bitcoin Bringin’s pitch is built around separating banking access from custody. Companies can use the account to receive and make euro payments while managing Bitcoin through self-custody infrastructure rather than handing control of the asset to Bringin. Private keys are generated inside a hardware-isolated secure enclave and are designed to require authentication from a designated company owner before a payment can be signed. That is a meaningful distinction for Bitcoin-focused businesses that want financial services without moving their treasury into a conventional custodial account. The platform also supports Lightning and stablecoin workflows, giving companies a route between crypto balances and euro payments without treating those systems as completely separate operations. Bitcoin Businesses Still Need Ordinary Banking Rails The product exists because crypto companies often discover that adopting Bitcoin does not remove their need for payroll, tax, supplier and customer payments in fiat currency. Bringin says its consumer platform has already processed more than €15 million. The business product extends that model into named corporate accounts and accounting integrations. The beta is available across 30 European countries and runs on infrastructure provided through Lightspark Payments Europe. It is still a beta, so it should not be treated as a finished universal banking replacement for every company operating in Europe. But the structure is notable. Instead of asking a business to choose between a self-custodied Bitcoin treasury and a usable euro account, Bringin is trying to put both into the same operating workflow.

Strict editorial policy that focuses on accuracy, relevance, and impartiality The highest standards in reporting and publishing Strict editorial policy that focuses on accuracy, relevance, and impartiality TL;DR Startale Japan has opened subscriptions for a one-year digital corporate bond that pays interest and principal in JPYSC. The offering totals ¥99.9 million, carries a fixed 5% annual pre-tax rate and is available from ¥100,000 per unit. JPYSC is a yen-denominated trust-type stablecoin issued by SBI Shinsei Trust Bank. A Japanese corporate bond is being used as a real-world test of stablecoin settlement. Startale Japan opened subscriptions on October 6 for a digital bond that will pay both interest and principal in JPYSC, the yen-denominated stablecoin developed with the SBI Group. The one-year issue totals ¥99.9 million and carries a fixed annual interest rate of 5% before tax. Investors Will Receive The Cash Flows In JPYSC The bond can be purchased in units starting at ¥100,000. Applications run from October 6 through November 10, with issuance scheduled for December 1. Interest is due twice during the life of the bond, and principal is scheduled to be redeemed at maturity on December 1, 2027. Instead of sending those payments through an ordinary bank transfer, Startale says investors will receive them as JPYSC through the Startale App. JPYSC is designed to track the yen one-for-one and is issued as a trust-type electronic payment instrument by SBI Shinsei Trust Bank. That makes the bond a useful test of how a regulated stablecoin can sit inside a conventional fixed-income product rather than existing only as a crypto trading asset. The Bond Is Small, But The Settlement Model Is The Story A ¥99.9 million issue is tiny by institutional bond-market standards. Its relevance comes from what is being tested. Corporate bonds already have mature systems for subscriptions, interest payments and redemption. Replacing the payment leg with regulated onchain yen allows issuers and investors to test whether stablecoins can reduce friction without changing the economic structure of the security itself. The product is also limited to investors in Japan and comes with conventional offering requirements. It should not be described as a permissionless DeFi bond. If the process works cleanly, however, the same settlement model could be applied to larger corporate financing transactions. The experiment therefore gives JPYSC something stablecoins often struggle to demonstrate: a defined job inside an existing financial instrument, with real scheduled payments rather than a theoretical future use case.
