The truly practical protection lies in proper wallet management, including avoiding address reuse and using newer signature types; most of the risk is concentrated among users with poor address management practices.

Odaily reports: BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes said on the Convergence program on October 16 that OpenAI, Anthropic, and SpaceX are all unprofitable, and that AI model companies rely on debt financing, equity financing, and implicit support from the U.S. government.

The Nasdaq 100 index fell 2.5%, and chip stocks declined for an eighth consecutive day, marking the longest losing streak since 2008. On October 17, Bitcoin's price was close to $81,400. A Bank of America analyst said the $1 trillion AI investment boom may follow a typical boom-and-bust cycle.

Hayes believes that the bigger the AI bubble, the larger the subsequent bailout will be, and the higher Bitcoin's price will go. He also said Bitcoin can reflect wasted capital. He also criticized token issuance methods, saying that retail investors who bought at TGE and then suffered a 95% drop were the ones who got hurt. (Bitcoin.com News)

Odaily: Hamad Hussain, climate and commodities economist at Capital Economics, judged on October 16 that gold prices may gradually decline over the remainder of the year. He listed two reasons: the Fed continuing to raise rates, and concerns that the AI boom is ending ultimately proving to be only temporary. This means his view on gold prices involves both interest rates and the outlook for the AI boom.

Bart Melek, Global Head of Commodity Strategy at TD Securities, said gold remains within a range and is leaning toward the lower edge of its support zone, mainly because there is still significant uncertainty over the Fed's next move. (Jinshi)

Odaily — On October 17, JustLend DAO announced that, in accordance with the JST buyback and burn plan proposal formally approved by the community, it successfully completed the fifth $JST buyback and burn on October 16, 2026 (SGT). A total of 170,723,144 JST was burned in this round, and all relevant tokens have been transferred to the black hole address, with all transactions verifiable on-chain. This buyback and burn marks an important step in JustLend DAO's continued advancement of its deflationary mechanism and implementation of community governance resolutions. By reducing the circulating supply of JST, it further strengthens the token's value support and the ecosystem's long-term sustainability. From community proposal to on-chain execution, the entire process has been open and transparent, providing a verifiable governance model for the continued advancement of the buyback and burn mechanism going forward.

Odaily reports that DTCC's tokenization service has initially made available 25 tokenizable securities, with the underlying assets being DTC-custodied securities worth approximately $30 trillion. The tokens maintain a 1:1 correspondence with the original securities, use the same CUSIP, and carry rights and investor protections identical to book-entry securities, with the official ledger records still held by DTC. Transfers between registered DTC wallets can be made 24/7 on a peer-to-peer basis, and the tokens have compliance-based transfer restrictions. Interest payments and maturity services for U.S. Treasury securities will be conducted on-chain, with funds paid in fiat currency to participants' traditional accounts.

The initially supported assets include Russell 1000 constituent stocks, select ETFs, and U.S. Treasury securities; the first networks to go live are Canton Network's CIP-56 and DTCC's private Besu network's ERC-20. Stellar's SEP-41 and Circle's Arc ERC-20 are expected to be integrated in 2027. The subsequent roadmap includes expanding the scope of tokenizable securities, adding control features such as single sign-on and maker-checker, extending corporate actions services for stocks and ETFs, consolidating share records between book-entry and on-chain holdings, and supporting on-chain net settlement, collateral, and digital cash, while gradually expanding the scope of eligible DTC participants.

Odaily reports: Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark said on Saturday that AI capabilities are rapidly improving and will bring faster changes across various sectors. An internal economic model from the company predicts that by 2030, AI could drive US economic output to grow dramatically to $44 trillion. Speaking at the IMF and World Bank annual meetings in Bangkok, Clark said the international community needs to work together to establish "special and rigorous rules" for this transformative technology. Clark said the forecast of US GDP reaching $44 trillion "sounds very absurd" compared to the current level of just above $30 trillion, but AI is significantly accelerating scientific discovery. "As long as this technology continues to advance, such an outcome may emerge. If GDP really grows by that much, then according to economic theory, new industries and inventions will need to be created to provide the impetus for such a large-scale economic expansion." (Jinshi)

Odaily reports: European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde stated that the eurozone's September inflation rate stood at 3.8%, primarily driven by high energy costs, and the ECB expects related pressures to ease next year.

She noted that the energy shock may keep eurozone inflation above the ECB's target through the first half of 2027, but a prudent policy response remains appropriate at this time.

Christine Lagarde said the ECB is preparing a digital euro for everyday retail payments as a digital complement to cash. She noted that the digital euro will further promote innovation and competition in the retail payments sector.

The ECB has launched Pontes, allowing financial institutions to settle wholesale tokenized asset transactions using central bank money; the system initially offers core services and is expected to be fully implemented by 2028. (Cointelegraph)
