Odaily News: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated at an event held in Berlin that the current turmoil in the AI market will eventually pass, and artificial intelligence will have a profound impact on all industries and the global economy, with the industry still in its early stages of development.

In response to the recent sell-off in AI chip and infrastructure-related stocks, as well as market concerns about rising financing costs and the sustainability of AI capital expenditure, Huang said that short-term changes in market news will not alter the long-term fundamentals of the AI industry, and that large-scale hardware investment will ultimately pay off and help ease market unease.

Huang emphasized that investors should start from first principles and focus on industry fundamentals and long-term value, rather than short-term market fluctuations.

Odaily News: TD Cowen analysts Lance Vitanza and Jonnathan Navarrete have raised their price target on Bitcoin treasury company Strive (ASST) from $44 to $56, citing the company's Bitcoin purchases over the past two weeks having already exceeded its previous forecast for the entire quarter.

Data shows that Strive's Bitcoin holdings have increased from 28,000 BTC at the end of September to 35,595 BTC, worth approximately $2.9 billion at current prices, ranking fourth among public companies. The company purchased 3,311 BTC and 2,822 BTC on October 13 and 14, respectively.

Additionally, Strive plans to expand its SATS preferred stock offering to 7 million shares at $90 per share, aiming to raise $630 million, with the offering expected to close on October 20. Due to equity dilution from warrant exercises, Strive's stock price fell 6.6% on Friday to $23.96, but remains up over 38% year-to-date. Analysts believe that with the completion of the $27 warrant exercises, the related selling pressure is expected to ease. (The Block)

Odaily News: Decentralized perpetual contract exchange Deepsigma has launched a real-time simulated trading platform covering 77 traditional financial markets, including U.S. stocks, stock indices, commodities, and U.S. Treasury yields. The platform is built on the Cypherium blockchain and is being advanced by a team of alumni from Goldman Sachs, Citadel Securities, Google, and Uber, supporting long and short exposure trading for the relevant assets.

Deepsigma's perpetual contracts do not tokenize, custody, or physically deliver the underlying assets; instead, they track prices through external market data sources. The platform currently supports contracts on the S&P 500 Index, Dow Jones Industrial Average, Nasdaq Composite Index, Russell 2000 Index, Cboe Volatility Index, as well as crude oil, gold, silver, natural gas, and copper.

The platform's risk engine employs multiple external price sources, mark prices, circuit breakers, partial liquidations, and an insurance fund, and uses a central limit order book and a clearing layer to handle margin, collateral, and settlement. Deepsigma is also developing a zero-knowledge proof-based decentralized identity framework and configuring off-chain AI analytics tools with unfunded execution permissions; the underlying Cypherium adopts a hybrid PoW and HotStuff Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus mechanism and holds 4 U.S. patents.
