Market Signal Briefing

Western Union, the 175-year-old remittances icon, has just revealed plans to launch its own U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin called USDPT (U.S. Dollar Payment Token), bypassing the Ethereum network for Solana.

French lawmakers have passed a resolution where France opposes digital euro, as they cite threats to privacy, and suggest creating a national Bitcoin reserve.

Key Takeaways
Did the new altcoin ETFs spark a market rally?
Not entirely. Solana’s ETF saw the strongest demand with $56 million in volume, yet SOL’s price fell 3.6%.

What does this say about the new ETF market?
Traders appear to be more selective, favoring assets with stronger fundamentals or staking appeal, rather than reacting purely to listing hype.

The first wave of U.S. altcoin ETFs officially launched on 27 October, marking a historic expansion of regulated crypto products beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. 

Solana, Hedera, and Litecoin each saw new ETFs go live under tickers $BSOL, $HBR, and $LTCC, generating a combined $65 million in first-day trading volume. However, their underlying tokens reacted very differently.

Solana ($SOL): strong ETF debut, weak price follow-through
Bitwise’s $BSOL ETF recorded $56 million in day-one volume, the highest of any ETF launch this year. Yet Solana’s spot price slipped 3.65%, trading around $191 after briefly touching $203.

Technical data from TradingView shows the RSI hovering at 45, reflecting neutral-to-weak momentum as traders likely priced in ETF optimism ahead of launch.

The pullback suggests a “buy-the-rumor, sell-the-news” setup, with investors locking in profits after the listing.

Hedera ($HBAR): low ETF volume, strong price response
In contrast, Hedera’s $HBR ETF, which saw $8 million in trading activity, triggered a sharp 4.9% daily price gain to $0.193. Its RSI jumped to 53, indicating renewed bullish sentiment.

The divergence between modest ETF volume and strong price action suggests that retail traders and smaller funds may be rotating into lower-cap Layer-1s in anticipation of future staking yield announcements or further ETF inflows.

Litecoin ($LTC): muted ETF interest, soft technicals
Litecoin’s $LTCC ETF lagged with just $1 million in first-day trading. On the charts, LTC slipped 3.3%, falling to $96 with its RSI around 43, signaling weak demand.

Source: TradingView

The lack of ETF enthusiasm mirrors broader sentiment: Litecoin remains viewed more as a legacy crypto asset than an innovation leader.

Unless volumes rise in the coming days, the product’s appeal may stay limited to niche institutional investors.

Market takeaway
The mixed price performance across these altcoins shows that ETF listings alone don’t guarantee immediate market rallies.

Investors appear selective, rewarding assets with strong network growth or staking yields, while others face profit-taking.

Still, the successful debut of three non-BTC, non-ETH spot ETFs signals a maturing U.S. market — one ready to explore altcoin exposure under regulated structures.

In computing, a denial-of-service attack (DoS attack; UK: /dɒs/ doss US: /dɑːs/ daas[1]) is a cyberattack in which the perpetrator seeks to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users by temporarily or indefinitely disrupting services of a host connected to a network. -The Wikipedia definition of denial-of-service attack. 

This is a very basic concept. Someone makes use of their own resources to disrupt the functioning of other machines on a network. 

DoS attacks have been an issue for as long as the internet existed. One of the commonly argued “first Distributed Denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks” was against the Internet Service Provider (ISP) Panix in the mid-90s. There were of course many prior technical examples on older internet services, but this was one of, if not the, first major examples of such an attack on the modern World Wide Web. 

This attack had numerous computers start to initiate a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection with the ISPs servers, but never finishing the handshake protocol that finalized the connection. This consumes the server’s resources for managing network connections and prevents honest users from accessing the internet through the ISP’s servers. 

Ever since this “initial” DDoS attack, they have been as common on the internet as storms are in nature, a regular occurrence that massive pieces of internet infrastructure have been built to defend against. 

The Blockchain The blockchain is one of the core components of Bitcoin, and a required dependency for Bitcoin’s functionality as a distributed ledger. I am sure many people in this space would call so-called “spam” transactions a DoS attack on the Bitcoin blockchain. In order to call it that, you would have to define the “service” that the blockchain is offering as a system, and explain how spam transactions are denying that service to others in a way not intended by the design of the system. 

I’d wager a bet that most people who believe spam is a DoS attack would say something like “the service the blockchain offers is processing financial transactions, and spam takes space away from people trying to do that.” The problem is, that is not specifically the service the blockchain offers. 

The service it actually offers is the confirmation of any consensus valid transaction through a real-time auction that periodically settles whenever a miner finds a block. If your transaction is consensus valid, and you have bid a high enough fee for a miner to include your transaction in a block, you are using the service the blockchain provides exactly as designed. 

This was a conscious design decision made over years during the “Block Size Wars” and finalized in the activation of Segregated Witness and the rejection of the Segwit2x blocksize increase through a hard fork pushed by major companies at the time.  The blockchain would function by prioritizing the highest bidding fee transactions, and users would be free to compete in that auction. This is how blockspace would be allocated, with a global restriction to protect verifiability and a free market pricing mechanism. 

Nothing about a transaction some arbitrarily define as “spam” winning in this open auction is a DoS of the blockchain. It is a user making use of that resource in the way they are supposed to, participating in the auction with everyone else. 

The Relay Network Many, if not most, Bitcoin nodes offer transaction relay as a service to the rest of the network. If you broadcast your transactions to your peers on the network, they will forward them on to their peers, and so on. Because the peering logic deciding which nodes to peer with maintains wide connectivity, this service allows transactions to propagate across the network very quickly, and specifically allows them to propagate to all mining nodes. 

Another service is block relay, propagating valid blocks as they are found in the same manner. This has been highly optimized over the years, to the point where most of the time an entire block is never actually relayed, just a shorthand “sketch” of the blockheader and the transactions included in it so you can reconstruct them from your own mempool. In other words, optimizations in block relay depend on a transaction relay functioning properly and propagating all valid and likely to be mined transactions. 

When nodes do not have transactions in a block already in their mempool, they must request them from neighboring nodes, taking more time to validate the block in the process. They also explicitly forward those transactions along with the block sketch to other peers in case they are missing them, wasting bandwidth. The more nodes filtering transactions they classify as spam, the longer it takes blocks including those filtered transactions to propagate across the network. 

Transaction filtering actively seeks to disrupt both of these services, in the case of transaction relay failing miserably to prevent them from propagating to miners, and in the case of block propagation having a marginal but noticeable performance degradation the more nodes on the network are filtering transactions. 

These node policies have the explicit purpose of degrading the network service of propagating transactions to miners and the rest of the network, and view the degradation of block propagation as a penalty to miners who choose to include valid transactions they are filtering. They seek to create a degradation of service as a goal, and view the degradation of another service resulting from that attempt as a positive. 

This actually is a DoS attack, in that it actually is degrading a network service contrary to the design of the system. 

Where From Here? The entire saga of Knotz vs. Core, or “Spammers” vs. “Filterers”, has been nothing more than a miserably ineffective and failed DoS attack on the Bitcoin network. Filters do absolutely nothing to prevent filtered transactions from being included in blocks. The goal of disrupting transaction propagation to miners has had no success whatsoever, and the degradation of block relay has been marginal enough to not be a disincentive to miners. 

I see this as a huge demonstration of Bitcoin’s robustness and resilience against attempted censorship and disruption on the level of the Bitcoin Network itself. 

So now what?

A BIP by an anonymous author has been put forward to enact a temporary softfork that would expire after roughly a year making numerous ways to include “spam” in Bitcoin transactions consensus invalid through that time period. After realizing the DoS attack on the peer-to-peer network has been a total failure, filter supporters have moved to consensus changes, as many of them were told would be necessary over two years ago. 

Will this actually solve the problem? No, it won’t. It will simply force people who wish to submit “spam” to this forked network, if they actually follow through on implementing it, to use fake ScriptPubKeys to encode their data in unspendable outputs that will bloat the UTXO set. 

So even if this fork was met with resounding support, activated successfully, and did not result in a chainsplit, it would still not achieve the stated goal and leave “spammers” no option but to “spam” in the most damaging way to the network possible.

On-chain data shows the Bitcoin mining Difficulty is set to go through a sharp jump in the coming adjustment and reach a new all-time high (ATH).

Bitcoin Mining Difficulty Will Go Up Over 6% In The Next Adjustment
According to data from CoinWarz, Bitcoin mining Difficulty is heading toward a positive adjustment on Wednesday. The “Difficulty” here refers to a metric built into the BTC blockchain that controls how hard miners find it to mine blocks on the network.

The Difficulty is entirely controlled by the code Satoshi wrote in all those years ago, meaning that no third party has any say in how its value changes. The chain automatically adjusts the metric about every two weeks based on a simple rule that the pseudonymous Bitcoin creator established: block time must stay constant around 10 minutes per block.

Whenever miners mine blocks in an average time faster than this, the network responds with an increase in the Difficulty. The jump is always just enough to slow the miners back down to the standard rate. Similarly, the validators being slower than needed forces the chain to ease things up.

The next Difficulty adjustment is expected to occur on October 29th. Below are the details regarding this event.

Looks like the miners have been relatively fast recently | Source: CoinWarz
As is visible, the average block time since the last Bitcoin Difficulty adjustment has stood at 9.42 minutes, which is 0.58 minutes faster than the standard time. To correct for this, the network will raise its Difficulty by more than 6% on Wednesday. This is quite a significant jump, one that will result in a new record for the indicator at around 155.8 trillion hashes. At present, the metric’s value is 146.7 trillion hashes.

Before the last adjustment, the Bitcoin mining Difficulty had been following a sustained uptrend, rising for seven consecutive adjustments in a row.

How the Difficulty's value has changed over the past year | Source: CoinWarz
The reason behind the uptrend in the metric lay in the aggressive expansion that miners had been participating in. As the chart below shows, the Hashrate, an indicator tracking the total amount of computing power deployed by the chain validators, has shot up recently.

The value of the metric has been exploring new highs | Source: CoinWarz
Around the beginning of October, the Bitcoin Hashrate saw a pullback, suggesting some miners disconnected from the network. This drop in computing power is why the validators couldn’t keep pace anymore, and the Difficulty broke its streak of upward adjustments.

As it has turned out, however, the slowdown in the Hashrate was only temporary, as miners have again been aggressive in their upgrades, forcing the network to take the Difficulty to yet another new ATH.

The bitcoin price has dropped back from its all-time high of $126,000 per bitcoin but has stabilized after a “flash crash” sparked fears of total collapse and an “imminent dollar and financial crisis."

Now, as Binance’s founder issues a huge, $28 trillion bitcoin prediction, bullish bitcoin and crypto traders have said a bitcoin price rally could mean the price never drops below $100,000 again.

“The next absolute positive confirmation would be a fresh all-time-high in bitcoin, as if it comes this would signify the death knell for those hanging onto the halving cycle as a reason for bitcoin prices to peak now,” Geoffrey Kendrick, head of crypto research at Standard Chartered, said in an emailed note and adding that, “if this week goes well, bitcoin may never go below $100,000 again.”

Kendrick pointed to bitcoin and crypto exchange-traded fund (ETFs) flows, the rising possibility of a U.S.-China trade deal, and an expected Federal Reserve interest rate cut this week as helping to lift the bitcoin price from lows of near $100,000 earlier this month.

“I think the halving cycle is dead (ETF flows matter more), but it will take confirmation to convince everyone of this,” Kendrick wrote.

Bitcoin’s having cycle, which sees the number of new bitcoin issued to miners who secure the network and process transactions cut by half every four years or so, has coincided with bitcoin price booms and busts over the last 15 years, however, increasingly analysts say they believe institutional bitcoin and crypto adoption has a bigger impact on the bitcoin price.

Forbes‘It Will Happen’—Binance’s CZ Issues Massive $28 Trillion Bitcoin Prediction As Crypto Braces For ‘Inevitable’ Price ShockBy Billy Bambrough

The bitcoin price has dipped from its all-time highs but remains well above the closely-watched $100,000 per bitcoin level.

“This cycle of rotation, not rejection, reveals structural integration,” analysts with the Bitfinex crypto exchange wrote in emailed market commentary. "If it holds, crypto could become a barometer for global capital adjustment, signalling how markets adapt in real time to macro shocks.”

The bitcoin and crypto market is also closely watching for signs the Federal Reserve will follow other major central banks in swinging dovish in the months ahead.

“Looking ahead, policy divergence will shape near-term sentiment," the Bitfinex analysts wrote. “The Federal Reserve is juggling oil-driven inflation with softening manufacturing and services data. Meanwhile, the ECB and Bank of England lean dovish, and the BOJ faces increasing scrutiny over its yield curve and currency defence stance. In this environment, cryptoʼs relative calm may reflect maturation in structure, liquidity depth, and institutional alignment.”

Bitwise’s Solana ETF launched with $56 million in first-day volume, outperforming over 850 ETFs introduced across 2025.Despite the ETF’s success, SOL’s price fell as market sentiment turned bearish amid leverage and long-position pressure.Analysts view the ETF’s strong debut as a mixed signal—high institutional demand but weak price traction for Solana holders.The Solana ETF hit US markets today, and it proved immensely successful. Bitwise’s product saw $56 million in day-one trading volume, making a larger splash than 850+ ETFs launched in 2025.

However, SOL’s actual token price has actually declined today due to other factors. Although the upcoming altcoin ETFs may become lucrative investment opportunities, underlying market trends still look bearish.

Solana ETF Goes LiveThe prospect of a Solana ETF has stirred market expectations for months, but the actual launch happened in murky circumstances. After months of false starts and regulatory confusion, the community had a mixed reaction when analysts claimed trading was about to start.

Nonetheless, the first Solana ETFs went live on the markets today, and their baptism by fire proved extremely successful:

Corporate investors have been pouring money into crypto ETFs, and the new Solana products are no exception.

Eric Balchunas, a Bloomberg analyst, claimed that Bitwise’s product had the strongest launch of any ETF in 2025. This includes ETFs based on XRP and non-token-based products alike; around 850 new assets in total.

No Gains for SOLIn other words, this Solana ETF has been a phenomenal success. Bitwise’s product completely eclipsed HBAR and Litecoin ETFs, seeing $56 million in total volume compared to $8 and $1 million, respectively. Nonetheless, however, anticipated gains for Solana have yet to materialize:

Solana Price Performance. Source: CoinGeckoThis discrepancy between the ETF performance and actual interest in Solana is more than a little worrying. SOL’s price didn’t just ignore the news; it actually decreased significantly.

Analysts suggest that a long squeeze is happening between long-term holders and leverage plays, which may be causing these doldrums. Still, it seems highly bearish that the Solana ETF’s breakout success didn’t influence these dynamics.

The first BTC ETFs brought runaway success for Bitcoin, potentially altering its price cycles forever. If altcoin products don’t have a similar impact, however, it will challenge a lot of vital assumptions.

In other words, this seems like something of a mixed blessing. The Solana ETF has finally reached US markets, and the appetite is very strong. For the time being, though, retail SOL holders might not reap any of the rewards.

BlackRock-Chef Larry Fink sagt, Anleger kaufen Krypto und Gold aus Angst.
Die US-Schulden steigen auf ein Rekordniveau, das sogar Europa alt aussehen lässt.
Bitcoin wird zur neuen Absicherung – aber noch traut sich nicht jeder ran.

Finanzmärkte sind sensibel, und zurzeit riecht es dort nach Panik. Wenn der Chef des größten Vermögensverwalters der Welt plötzlich von „Angst-Assets“ spricht, sollte man hinhören. Larry Fink von BlackRock sieht in Bitcoin und Gold nicht nur Trends, sondern Zufluchtsorte für alle, die der Wirtschaft nicht mehr trauen.

Wenn Angst zu Gold wird
Larry Fink, der Chef von BlackRock, hat auf einer Finanzkonferenz in Riad klipp und klar gesagt, was viele nur denken: Menschen kaufen Krypto und Gold, weil sie Angst haben. Angst davor, dass Geld seinen Wert verliert. Angst, dass ihr Erspartes nichts mehr wert ist. Und ein bisschen auch Angst davor, dass die Welt aus den Fugen gerät.

Er nennt sie „Assets of Fear“ – also Vermögenswerte der Angst. Gold glänzt wieder, BTC steigt, und wer es sich leisten kann, stapelt lieber Barren als Aktien. Fink sagt: „Man besitzt diese Dinge, weil man sich fürchtet.“ Das mag ehrlich klingen, aber es zeigt auch, wie tief das Vertrauen in das klassische Finanzsystem gesunken ist.

Die Schuldenuhr tickt lauter
Die USA haben sich verschuldet wie nie zuvor. Der Internationale Währungsfonds rechnet damit, dass die Staatsverschuldung bis 2030 auf 143 Prozent des Bruttoinlandsprodukts steigt. Damit überholen die Vereinigten Staaten sogar Schuldenkönige wie Italien und Griechenland.

Auch das jährliche Haushaltsloch bleibt riesig – über sieben Prozent Defizit jedes Jahr. Für eine Supermacht ist das kein gutes Zeichen. Und wenn die Schulden steigen, sinkt das Vertrauen in die Währung. Genau das treibt Anleger in Sachwerte: lieber ein BTC auf der Festplatte als ein schwankender Dollar auf dem Konto.

BTC – die neue Versicherung
Fabian Dori von der Sygnum Bank sagt, viele Investoren wechseln gerade von Papiergeld zu sogenannten „harten Assets“. Das bedeutet: weg vom Drucken, hin zu Dingen, die nicht beliebig vermehrt werden können – also Gold oder BTC.

Hier kommst du zu unserer detaillierten Prognose für Bitcoin.

 

Aber er warnt: Krypto schläft nie. „Der Markt läuft rund um die Uhr“, sagt Dori. „Das ist nichts für schwache Nerven.“ Banken und Fonds müssen sich erst an diese 24/7-Welt gewöhnen. Noch fehlen die passenden Systeme, um die Risiken ständig im Blick zu behalten. Deshalb dauert es, bis traditionelle Finanzriesen wirklich groß einsteigen.

Vom Krypto-Muffel zum Fanboy
Larry Fink war früher kein Freund von Bitcoin – ganz im Gegenteil. 2017 nannte er die Kryptowährung noch ein „Werkzeug für Geldwäscher und Kriminelle“. Heute klingt das ganz anders. Jetzt bezeichnet er sich als „gläubigen Investor“. Er sagt: „Krypto hat seinen Platz – genau wie Gold. Es ist eine Alternative.“

Und wenn einer wie Fink seine Meinung ändert, horchen Märkte auf. Immerhin verwaltet BlackRock über 12,5 Billionen US-Dollar. Der firmeneigene BTC-ETF, der iShares Bitcoin Trust, ist mit rund 93,9 Milliarden Dollar der größte seiner Art. Wenn BlackRock sich bewegt, bewegt sich der Markt gleich mit.

Les hier, wieso einige Experten bei BTC noch dieses Jahr eine Rally bis 250k sehen.

Zwischen Hype, Hoffnung und Herzrasen
Kryptoexperte Nic Puckrin erinnert daran, dass BTC aus einer Krise geboren wurde – der Finanzkrise 2008. Damals suchten Menschen Alternativen zu Banken. Heute ist die Situation ähnlich: Schulden, Inflation, Unsicherheit. Nur diesmal geht es um die ganze Welt.

Viele sehen Bitcoin längst nicht mehr nur als „Angst-Asset“, sondern als Wette auf die Zukunft. Ein offenes, grenzenloses Finanzsystem, das keiner Regierung gehört. Trotzdem bleibt Skepsis: Auf der Vorhersageplattform Myriad glauben viele Nutzer, dass Gold 2025 stärker abschneiden wird als BTC. Und doch bewegt sich etwas – Behörden prüfen Krypto-Reserven, Fonds nutzen Bitcoin als Sicherheit, und selbst die Börsen rüsten für den 24-Stunden-Handel. Die Finanzwelt dreht sich weiter – aber sie schläft nicht mehr.

Bitcoin Hyper: Die nächste Stufe für Bitcoin als Schutz vor Inflation
Bitcoin gilt für viele als das beste Mittel gegen Inflation. Wenn Regierungen mehr Geld drucken und Preise steigen, bleibt Bitcoin unabhängig und begrenzt – das macht ihn zu einem sicheren Hafen für Anleger. Immer mehr Menschen und Institutionen setzen deshalb auf Bitcoin, um ihr Vermögen zu schützen. Doch bisher wird BTC vor allem gehalten, kaum genutzt. Genau das ändert BTC Hyper: Es verbindet die Sicherheit von Bitcoin mit der Schnelligkeit und Effizienz von Solana und macht so Zahlungen und Anwendungen mit Bitcoin endlich praktisch nutzbar.

Lies hier eine langfristige Prognose für Bitcoin Hyper!

$HYPER: Der Antrieb für nutzbaren Bitcoin
$HYPER ist der Token, der Bitcoin Hyper antreibt. Er sorgt dafür, dass Transaktionen schnell und günstig ablaufen und neue Anwendungen entstehen können. Wenn BTC als Schutz vor Inflation weiter an Bedeutung gewinnt, wächst auch das Interesse, ihn wirklich zu verwenden – nicht nur zu speichern. Bitcoin Hyper bietet dafür die Lösung, und $HYPER steht im Zentrum: sicher wie Bitcoin, schnell wie Solana und bereit für die Zukunft.

Jetzt rechtzeitig einsteigen und $HYPER im Presale kaufen.

The Cardano (ADA) price is flying under the radar amid growing accumulation by large-holders (“whales”) and a technical formation that traders seldom ignore, a symmetrical triangle.

With ADA currently trading around $0.66, after briefly reaching $0.69 earlier in the week, the stage appears set for a breakout, or a breakdown. Analysts suggest that if the bullish scenario prevails, ADA could target $1 and beyond, potentially even reaching $5 or more in a longer-term move.

Whale Accumulation Signals Long-Term Confidence
Despite short-term price softness, on-chain data reveal that wallets holding large quantities of ADA are steadily increasing their positions.

According to recent reports, wallets with 100,000 ADA tokens have been accumulating over the past six weeks, even while retail demand remains lukewarm. This accumulation is taking place as ADA forms a low-volatility consolidation, such behaviour often precedes major market moves.

The divergence is noteworthy. While Open Interest and spot cumulative volume delta (CVD) remain weak, signaling limited retail/speculator engagement, whales are quietly buying the dips.

Enthusiasm among large-holders suggests confidence in ADA’s fundamentals and plays into the bullish thesis that this accumulation could underpin a powerful move once the technical breakout triggers.

Symmetrical Triangle Breakout Offers Route to Major Upside
Technical analysts highlight that ADA has been trading within a symmetrical triangle pattern, a convergence of support and resistance trendlines, typically signalling a buildup of tension before a decisive move.

The crucial support near $0.61 and resistance roughly at $0.70–$0.75 mark the boundaries of this formation. A decisive breakout above the upper trendline could unlock a rally toward $0.80–$0.85, and potentially beyond $1.70 per some projections.

Conversely, a breakdown below the support would invalidate the bullish setup and could see ADA revisit $0.55 or lower. Given the whale accumulation underway, the bullish scenario currently seems favoured, but traders must still watch for confirmation.

Bottom Line
The question now gaining traction is: could ADA eventually hit $5? While the immediate target may be around $1 to $2, some longer-term models based on Fibonacci extensions and structural breakout maths place significantly higher levels on the table.

If ADA converts supply zones into support and elevates its on-chain narrative, the powerful combination of whale positioning + breakout could carry it much higher.

With most of the quarterly results from the Mag 7 set to roll in this week, the pressure on the group is tilting toward Amazon (AMZN - Free Report)  and Apple (AAPL - Free Report) .  

Set to release their quarterly reports after-market hours on Thursday, October 30, Amazon and Apple have been the laggards of the Mag 7 stocks this year.

Along with Tesla (TSLA - Free Report) , Amazon and Apple stock have trailed the broader indexes' YTD returns, with the rest of the group outperforming, led by Nvidia’s (NVDA - Free Report)  gains of more than +40%.

The appetite for loftier gains from Amazon and Apple stock is certainly setting in amid hopes that AI can give these tech giants another boost.

What Wall Street will be Looking ForAmazon’s Cloud Services & Retail Performance

Outside of enhancing its retail performance, analysts will be anticipating updates on how Amazon’s AI investments are translating into cloud growth and profitability. As the largest global cloud provider ahead of Microsoft’s (MSFT - Free Report)  Azure and Alphabet’s (GOOGL - Free Report)  Google Cloud, Amazon’s AWS revenue is thought to have increased 17% during Q3 to more than $30 billion.

Notably, AWS has been Amazon’s most profitable business segment, with cloud computing and cloud infrastructure services now accounting for nearly 20% of the e-commerce giant’s top line. Overall, Amazon’s Q3 sales are expected to spike 12% to $177.88 billion, with Q3 earnings expected to rise 10% to $1.58 per share.  

iPhone 17 Sales & Apple Services Growth

Reporting results for its fiscal fourth quarter, Wall Street will be paying close attention to how trade tensions with China may potentially impact Apple’s outlook. However, enhanced AI features in the iPhone 17 are helping to offset tariff concerns and increased competition from Chinese competitors like Huawei and Xiaomi, with China being Apple’s largest market outside of the U.S.

Driven by the release of the iPhone 17 in September, Apple’s Q4 sales in China are thought to have increased 4% to more than $18 billion. Optimistically, Apple’s Services segment (App store, iCloud, subscriptions) is thought to have expanded 13% during Q4, pushing annual services revenue to over $100 billion for the first time. As a whole, Apple’s Q4 sales are expected to be up 6% to $101.19 billion, with quarterly EPS expected to rise 5% to $1.73.

Amazon & Apple Valuation Comparison  Although Amazon and Apple have been the laggards among the Mag 7 in 2025, they are in the middle of the pack in terms of price-to-forward earnings valuation at just over 30X. Tesla commands the highest P/E premium among the group, followed by Nvidia and Microsoft, with Alphabet and Meta Platforms (META - Free Report)  having the cheapest valuations in this regard at under 30X.

That said, Amazon has the most reasonable price to forward sales multiple of 3.4X, with Apple’s 9.1X being third behind Alphabet’s 8.7X.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

What the Zacks Rank SuggestsAttributed to its more exhilarating EPS growth and a positive trend in EPS revisions for fiscal 2025 and FY26, Amazon stock currently sports a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). Apple shares, on the other hand, land a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) as FY25 and FY26 EPS revisions are slightly down in the last 30 days despite steady bottom line expansion in the forecast as well.

Amazon MGM Studios original "Fallout."

Amazon MGM Studios

2025-10-28T21:50:41Z

Amazon MGM Studios was affected as part of Amazon's layoffs of 14,000 employees.
Some big names impacted included a head of casting and TV execs.
Amazon is in the early stages of harnessing AI for its entertainment arm.

Amazon MGM Studios, the company's TV and movie arm, was hit during the broader company layoffs announced Tuesday. Amazon said it would cut 14,000 jobs overall to slim down as it leans into AI.

Among the big names affected at Amazon MGM Studios were Donna Rosenstein, who was head of series casting. Also cut were drama series exec Meggie Choi and creative exec Nathan Kitada.

Amazon didn't share the scope of the cuts in entertainment.

Amazon MGM Studios, known for original series like "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" and "Reacher," drives Prime Video, which is included with Prime subscriptions. It's been undergoing significant leadership changes this year, with Netflix alum Peter Friedlander coming in to head up TV following the departures of top execs Vernon Sanders and Jen Salke.

As part of Amazon's AI efforts, it has begun to leverage the tech across its entertainment arm, which is led by Mike Hopkins. Company leaders have talked publicly about the various ways they're using the tech to soup up the viewing experience on Prime Video. Earlier this year, Prime Video head Albert Cheng moved into an AI role. At the time, the company said he'd help create new AI tools for filmmakers and showrunners.

In June, Amazon also invested in startup Fable Studio to build out an AI-powered streaming platform, Showrunner, which lets users make their own shows and play with existing IP. The investment was made through Amazon's Alexa Fund, a VC fund focused on AI, voice, and other technologies.

Amazon has been scrutinizing spending on original entertainment after a period of lavish outlays on big series, such as "Citadel" and "Rings of Power." Its last big layoff in its entertainment arm was in January 2024, when hundreds were cut in what was then its deepest staff reduction to date.

PANAMA CITY , Oct. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Banco Latinoamericano de Comercio Exterior, S.A. (NYSE: BLX, "Bladex", or "the Bank"), a Panama-based multinational bank originally established by the central banks of 23 Latin-American and Caribbean countries to promote foreign trade and economic integration in the Region, announced today its results for the Third Quarter ("3Q25") and nine months ("9M25") ended September 30, 2025.

NEW YORK, Oct. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kirby McInerney LLP reminds Baxter International, Inc. (“Baxter” or the “Company”) (NYSE:BAX) investors of the December 15, 2025 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a pending federal securities class action.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired Baxter securities, have information, or would like to learn more, please contact Thomas W. Elrod of Kirby McInerney LLP by email at [email protected], or fill out the form below, to discuss your rights or interests.

[CONTACT THE FIRM IF YOU SUFFERED A LOSS]

What Happened?

On April 7, 2025, safety concerns regarding Baxter’s Novum IQ Large Volume Pump (“Novum LVP”), a device used for the delivery of intravenous fluids that carry medications, blood products, and nutrients to patients, began to surface after a Missouri news outlet reported serious safety issues relating to inaccurate infusion with the Novum LVPs based on information from a whistleblower. Just weeks after the whistleblower report, on April 24, 2025, Baxter sent customers a warning letter about potential underinfusion risks associated with the Novum LVP, disclosing only one serious injury linked to this issue. Then, on July 14, 2025, Baxter issued a second warning letter reiterating the underinfusion risks and adding the risk of overinfusion with the Novum LVP. The letter also revealed that Baxter had received 79 reports of serious injury and two reports of patient deaths related to the Novum LVP. Finally, on July 31, 2025, the Company announced that it had decided to “voluntarily and temporarily pause shipments and planned installations of the Novum LVP” and that the Company was “unable to currently commit to an exact timing for resuming shipment and installation for Novum LVPs.” On this news, the price of Baxter shares declined by $6.29 per share, or approximately 22.4%, from $28.05 per share on July 30, 2025, to close at $21.76 on July 31, 2025.

What Is The Lawsuit About?

The lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased securities during the period of February 23, 2022 through July 30, 2025, inclusive (“the Class Period”). The lawsuit alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants misled investors by failing to disclose that: (i) the Novum LVP suffered systemic defects that caused widespread malfunctions, including underinfusion, overinfusion, and complete non-delivery of fluids, which exposed patients to risks of serious injury or death; (ii) Baxter was notified of multiple device malfunctions, injuries, and deaths from these defects; (iii) Baxter’s attempts to address these defects through customer alerts were inadequate remedial measures, when design flaws persisted and continued to cause serious harm to patients; and (iv) as a result, there was a heightened risk that customers would be instructed to take existing Novum LVPs out of service and that Baxter would completely pause all new sales of these pumps.

Highlights

SoFi’s personal loan charge-offs fell to 2.60% from 2.83% in Q2, while 90-day delinquencies held at 43 basis points. Student loan charge-offs eased to 0.69%.

SoFi originated $3.4 billion in loans for third parties and completed a $466 million securitization as buyers increased commitments.

The company launched SoFi Pay, an AI-powered Cash Coach, and previewed a 2026 stablecoin initiative alongside plans to relaunch crypto trading.

SoFi reported its Q3 earnings Tuesday morning (Oct. 28), and the message was straightforward: Its mostly prime borrowers look resilient, and their spending is steady.

Pressed by analysts on consumer credit, CEO Anthony Noto said the company’s real-time view across checking, investing and lending shows “very strong” credit performance and day-to-day activity. 

“The first message is our credit performing very well … not just the performance of credit, but the spending that we see in SoFi Money [digital banking], the engagement that we see in SoFi Invest and general behavior overall,” Noto told analysts. 

CFO Chris Lapointe underscored that assessment, saying “the health of our consumer remains strong and our credit continues to improve.” Personal‑loan borrowers carry a weighted‑average FICO of 745; student‑loan borrowers average a 773, LaPointe said. The personal‑loan annualized charge‑off rate fell to 2.60% from 2.83% last quarter, with 90‑day delinquencies holding at 43 basis points. Student‑loan charge‑offs eased to 0.69%, with 90‑day delinquencies at 14 basis points. 

On the macro backdrop, Noto said the company is positioned to do well if rates stay where they are and to benefit if they fall. Lower rates would “meaningfully” lift student‑loan refinancing and help home‑equity and mortgage demand, he said.

The company expects to maintain healthy net‑interest margins and has historically run a 65-70% deposit rate, LaPointe noted. LaPointe said SoFi card and deposit spend totaled nearly $20 billion in annualized transactions, up 55% year over year, which he interpreted as evidence of healthy consumer activity.

Capital Markets
He also described a “flight to quality” among capital‑markets partners, with several upsizing commitments to buy SoFi‑originated loans. The Loan Platform Business originated $3.4 billion for third parties in Q3, and SoFi executed a $466 million securitization backed by those loans.

Management said buyers are consolidating toward platforms they view as higher quality, and several partners increased commitments heading into Q4. There was some investor concern in that area, but at least one Wall Street analyst firm filed a bullish report after the call.

“Investor attention is focused on signs of deteriorating consumer health and private credit exposure,” wrote Andrew Jeffrey at analyst firm William Blair. “However, SoFi continues to fire on all cylinders. The company saw 20-basis-point-plus improvements in losses across personal and student loans while delinquencies were about stable sequentially, all while accelerating core origination (excluding LPB) growth to about 23% from 19%, quarter over quarter. Personal loan NCOs were the lowest in two years. Despite macro concerns around private credit, SoFi suggested it has seen an uptick in demand, with $3.4 billion of originations in the third quarter. We believe SoFi is benefiting from a flight to quality driven by superior loan performance.”

Other developments from the call:

Product pipeline: SoFi launched SoFi Pay, a blockchain‑enabled remittance service, and said it will relaunch crypto trading, letting members buy, sell and hold dozens of tokens within the SoFi app while previewing plans for a SoFi‑branded stablecoin in 2026. The firm also rolled out an AI‑powered Cash Coach and teased a coming SoFi Smart Card with rewards and credit‑builder features. 
Student loans: Asked about potential federal moves, including possible sales of government‑held student‑loan portfolios, Noto said SoFi would “absolutely dig into it” for both acquisition and servicing opportunities and stands ready to fill gaps if federal lending limits tighten. 

SoFi reported record GAAP net revenue of $961.6 million (adjusted: $949.6 million) and net income of $139 million for Q3. The company added a record 905,000 new members, bringing total membership to 12.6 million, and 1.4 million new products for 18.6 million total products. Fee‑based revenue hit a quarterly record, and deposits grew to $32.9 billion.

Management raised full‑year 2025 guidance for adjusted revenue, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS. The company raised its 2025 guidance again, projecting $3.54 billion in adjusted revenue and $1 billion in adjusted EBITDA, signaling confidence in sustained growth.
