PPP Prediction Market Tool monitoring shows that Polymarket's "StandX will issue a token before the end of 2026" probability has dropped to 3%, a 58% decline in 24 hours.

If StandX officially launches a token before 11:59 PM ET on the date specified in the title, the prediction market will resolve as "Yes"; otherwise, it will resolve as "No."

Only tokens officially issued by StandX qualify; stablecoins, meme coins, liquid staking tokens (LSTs), and synthetic tokens do not count.

The token must have been publicly launched and be actually tradable; merely publishing an announcement does not meet the resolution criteria.

Resolution is primarily based on StandX official information, with reference to consensus reports from credible media.

Previous news: StandX announced it will not issue a token, and perpetual contracts will enter reduce-only mode starting October 20.

Odaily News: StandX co-founder and CEO Aaron Gong posted on X, stating: "Regarding this decision for StandX not to conduct a TGE, I want to be candid with everyone. Without external capital backing, our TVL reached a peak of $200 million. The team has achieved commendable results, but we still fell short of our expectation of entering the industry's top three. Based on the project's current fundamentals, we could indeed proceed with a token launch. But if we cannot deliver long-term value and instead profit through token issuance and short-term speculation, we would be leaving the cost to our users and community. That would be irresponsible both externally and internally, and it goes against my values. Most of our past revenue has already been distributed to users through SIP-2 / SIP-3 subsidies. For this airdrop, in addition to the surplus on the project's books, I will also contribute personally to give back as much as possible to the community that has supported us all along. All user funds are safe. We will ensure an orderly wind-down and clearly announce the specific arrangements for fund withdrawals, the airdrop, and the cessation of all services. Thank you to every user and team member. I regret that we could not reach the position we had hoped for. We will do our best to finish things properly."

Odaily News: TSMC reported its third-quarter financial results, with net profit rising 69% year-over-year to NT$763.1 billion (approximately $23.6 billion), beating market expectations. Revenue grew 51% year-over-year to $47 billion, also exceeding market forecasts.

Driven by sustained growth in AI demand, TSMC raised its 2026 USD-denominated revenue growth forecast from slightly above 40% to approximately 44%, with full-year capital expenditure expected to be between $60 billion and $64 billion. The company expects fourth-quarter revenue of $52.3 billion to $54.3 billion, a gross margin of 65% to 67%, and an operating margin of 56.5% to 58.8%.

TSMC stated that demand for advanced processes remains strong, with revenue growth accelerating over the past two consecutive quarters. The company is currently building and equipping approximately 20 fabs simultaneously, far exceeding the previous scale of constructing 4 to 5 new fabs at the same time. The company will also send teams to assess power supply and data center construction progress in the United States, but will remain cautious when formulating its 2027 business plan.

Despite growing market concerns over the scale of AI infrastructure investment, institutions continue to raise their capital expenditure forecasts for TSMC in 2027. Goldman Sachs expects it to reach $85 billion, while UBS projects $90 billion, both above the institutional survey average of $75 billion. (Jinshi)

Odaily reports that South Korea's Financial Services Commission (FSC) has announced plans to enhance threat monitoring, increase the frequency of security assessments, and strengthen executive accountability. An industry review revealed that 130 out of 555 financial companies have cybersecurity deficiencies, involving 16 prior security incidents.

The FSC stated that the affected institutions had approximately 100,000 customer records exposed in total, including names, contact information, and ID numbers. Affected institutions include Streami, the operator of Gopax, and cryptocurrency trading platform Prabang, which previously disclosed that a hack on October 2 resulted in the leak of some customers' personal information.

Under the proposed reforms, large financial institutions would undergo vulnerability assessments at least twice a year, and regulators also plan to strengthen information sharing and consider using AI to monitor the security posture of smaller companies. In the event of urgent threats, regulators may also conduct additional inspections beyond routine assessments. Authorities are still investigating whether the incidents involved AI or were carried out by the same attacker. (Cointelegraph)
