Market Signal Briefing

Decentralized exchange Bunni has officially announced that it will shut down operations following an $8.4 million exploit in early September.

Mike Novogratz says Bitcoin would need “a lot of crazy stuff” to hit $250,000 this year.

The massive market crash this month was a mid-cycle correction, not the beginning of a bear market, according to VanEck.

Bitcoin’s October pullback reflects a “liquidity-driven mid-cycle reset,” said analysts Nathan Frankovitz and Matthew Sigel in a VanEck market report on Wednesday.

“Leverage has normalized, on-chain activity is rising, and digital assets’ macro role continues to strengthen,” they added.

Bitcoin is currently trading down 14% from its all-time high and has failed to recover from the record leverage flush earlier this month.

With leverage now at the 61st percentile and prices near one-year lows relative to gold, this appears to be a mid-cycle correction rather than the start of a bear market, the analysts noted.

No Bear Market Yet
Global M2 growth explains over half of Bitcoin’s price variance, reinforcing its role as an anti-money printing asset. According to MacroMicro, global M2 supply has grown by 6.8% since the beginning of the year as central banks continue to print money. The report identified two factors in addition to M2 supply that influence Bitcoin’s price and market movements: global liquidity, leverage, and on-chain activity.

Nearly 73% of Bitcoin’s price variance since October 2020 has been explained by changes in futures open interest, while there are strong correlations between blockchain revenues and token prices, which demonstrate real adoption.

The investment manager said it wasn’t willing to bet against Bitcoin with fiat debasement accelerating in recent years.

“With Bitcoin comprising ~2% of global money supply, we believe digital assets can play an increasingly important role in investment portfolios; arguably, owning less than ~2% Bitcoin or other digital assets is implicitly expressing a short position on the asset class.”

Caution: Volatility Ahead
The sentiment has been echoed by several analysts recently who opined that the bull market is not over yet. However, there is still a lot of volatility ahead, said investor Ted Pillows.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expects lower inflation next month, which means this week’s CPI report could disappoint, he added.

“High inflation usually pressures crypto, since it raises expectations for tighter monetary policy. If CPI comes in lower than expected, crypto could bounce.”

MN Fund founder Michaël van de Poppe echoed the sentiment, stating, “markets continue to fumble until the next big macroeconomic event comes in: CPI.”

“That’s going to provide a direction for the markets of Bitcoin, and also what we could expect from the Fed.”

The delayed CPI report for September is scheduled for release on Friday.

TLDR:Chardan Capital Deal Opens Path to $1B Crypto-Linked FundingProceeds May Fund Operations and HYPE Token StrategyGet 3 Free Stock Ebooks

Hyperliquid filed an S-1 with the SEC for a $1B stock offering through a Chardan Capital equity facility.
The firm plans to sell up to 160 million shares under the agreement, pending market conditions.
Funds raised could go toward corporate activities and potential HYPE Token purchases after merger closure.
The company aims to list on Nasdaq under “PURR” following its combination with Sonnet BioTherapeutics.

Hyperliquid Strategies Inc. has taken its next step toward a major capital raise. The company filed an S-1 registration with the U.S. SEC to offer up to 160 million shares of common stock. 

The filing outlines a plan to secure as much as $1 billion through a committed equity facility with Chardan Capital Markets. The funds are expected to support general operations and possible HYPE Token acquisitions.

The move positions Hyperliquid for expansion following its pending merger with Sonnet BioTherapeutics Holdings. Chief Executive Officer David Schamis confirmed the filing on X, stating the company will only issue shares under favorable market conditions.

Chardan Capital Deal Opens Path to $1B Crypto-Linked Funding
According to the SEC filing, Chardan Capital Markets will have the option to purchase shares from Hyperliquid through a structured equity facility. This arrangement gives the company flexibility to sell stock gradually rather than through a single issuance. 

The agreement, known as the ChEF Purchase Agreement, was executed on October 22, 2025.

Hyperliquid stated that the total proceeds from Chardan could reach $1 billion, depending on share price and volume. However, the company noted it has no obligation to sell all shares. In exchange for the facility, Chardan will receive commitment and documentation fees tied to funding milestones.

The equity sale will only proceed once Hyperliquid finalizes its business combination with Sonnet BioTherapeutics and Rorschach I LLC. If that merger fails to close, the company intends to withdraw its registration. 

The combined entity will be known as Hyperliquid Strategies Inc. and operate under the Nasdaq ticker symbol “PURR,” pending approval.

Proceeds May Fund Operations and HYPE Token Strategy
Hyperliquid disclosed that proceeds from the stock sale will support general corporate activities, including liquidity and digital asset initiatives. 

The mention of potential HYPE Token purchases drew attention from crypto market watchers. Though details remain limited, the inclusion of digital assets in corporate spending signals the firm’s interest in expanding its blockchain footprint.

The SEC document shows Hyperliquid will be classified as an “emerging growth company” with streamlined reporting requirements. The company also emphasized that any share sales to Chardan will depend on market strength and internal capital needs.

Today we filed an S1. This document is to allow us to issue additional equity into the market following the close of our transaction. We will only be selling equity if and when we believe the market conditions to be favorable. We have no obligations or requirements to issue… pic.twitter.com/LgsvDNwm9q

— David Schamis (@dschamis) October 23, 2025

David Schamis noted that the company holds no obligation to issue equity unless conditions align. 

“We will only be selling equity if and when we believe the market conditions to be favorable,” he said in his post on X.

The company’s public listing application with Nasdaq marks another key step in its transformation. 

If approved, the ticker “PURR” will represent a new phase for the merged entity’s trading debut. Investors will be watching closely as Hyperliquid transitions from merger completion to capital market execution.

Quantum Solutions now holds almost $15 million worth of ETH in total. The company plans to expand its treasury to 100,000 ETH after a $180 million capital raise, which suggests it has strong long-term conviction in Ethereum’s future. Meanwhile, Citadel founder Ken Griffin disclosed a 4.5% stake in DeFi Development Corp., a Solana-focused DAT with over $400 million in holdings. Both of these moves proves that there is still rising institutional interest in crypto treasuries, even as analysts warn of valuation pressures and consolidation risks across the sector.

Quantum Solutions Becomes Ethereum PowerhouseQuantum Solutions, a Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed firm backed by ARK Invest and Susquehanna International Group (SIG), became the largest Ethereum-focused digital asset treasury (DAT) outside of the United States after amassing $9 million worth of ETH in just one week. The company’s founder, Francis Zhou, confirmed the milestone on Thursday, and revealed that Quantum Solutions accumulated 2,365 ETH over seven days 

The company now holds a total of 3,866 ETH, which is valued at approximately $14.8 million. Zhou said the firm has been buying Ethereum at a pace of around 150 million yen ($983,000) per day, and plans to accelerate its accumulation.

Quantum Solutions’ rapid growth makes it Japan’s leading publicly listed Ethereum DAT and the 11th largest globally, according to data from CoinGecko. While Ethereum makes up the bulk of its holdings, the company also has a smaller Bitcoin treasury of 11.6 BTC, worth roughly $1.3 million. 

(Source: Quantum Solutions)

The firm’s ambition extends far beyond its current holdings, with a $180 million capital raise in late September dedicated to building a 100,000 ETH treasury. This certainly suggests that the company has long-term confidence in Ethereum’s value and ecosystem growth.

ARK Invest founder and CEO Cathie Wood praised the development by calling Quantum Solutions “Japan’s first institutional-grade ETH DAT.”  ARK Invest has been a big supporter of Ethereum-focused treasury firms, having also invested in Tom Lee’s BitMine, which currently holds the title of the world’s largest Ethereum DAT.

Still, the broader digital asset treasury trend seems to be cooling. Market researchers and analysts noticed a decline in share prices for major DATs, leading to questions about whether the initial hype has begun to fade. Tom Lee himself actually suggested that the DAT bubble might have burst, though he sees the recent market weakness as a buying opportunity. 

With this in mind, Quantum Solutions’ aggressive accumulation strategy now stands out as a rare display of conviction in crypto treasuries.

Ken Griffin Buys Into Solana Treasury FirmQuantum Solutions is not alone in its confidence in treasury companies. Ken Griffin, the billionaire founder and CEO of Citadel, revealed a 4.5% stake in DeFi Development Corp. (DFDV), a digital asset treasury company that focuses on accumulating Solana. 

The disclosure was made through a Schedule 13G filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and it shows that Griffin owns just over 1.3 million DFDV shares, which is roughly 4.5% of the company’s outstanding common stock. Citadel Advisors LLC and affiliated entities also reported owning an additional 800,000 shares, or about 2.7% of the total.

Citadel Advisors, the investment management arm of Citadel’s $65 billion hedge fund group, is a registered investment adviser with the SEC, and has  been expanding its exposure to emerging digital asset opportunities. The move comes during a wave of institutional adoption, which was recently mentioned in a a16z Crypto report. It revealed that firms like BlackRock, Fidelity, JPMorgan Chase, and Citigroup are ramping up their digital asset initiatives.

DeFi Development Corp. quickly became a major player in the digital asset treasury sector, and ranks as the second-largest corporate holder of Solana after Forward Industries. The company recently bought $117 million worth of SOL in just eight days, which helped push its total holdings above 2.19 million SOL — worth nearly $400 million before the latest market pullback. Even after the recent declines, DeFi Development’s holdings are still profitable.

The rise of digital asset treasuries means that there are more and more companies seeking to enhance balance sheets and attract investors by holding high-growth crypto assets. However, analysts warn that the model carries serious risks. David Duong, head of institutional research at Coinbase, said that ongoing regulatory changes, liquidity issues, and market volatility could spark consolidation, favoring larger, more resilient firms.

At $109,406 per BTC, renowned bestselling writer Robert Kiyosaki says there are four simple reasons why he keeps buying Bitcoin and warns that ignoring them could cost you.

Cover image via U.Today

Robert Kiyosaki, author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad," outlined four reasons why he continues to invest in Bitcoin (BTC). He made these comments while BTC was trading at $109,406 on Bybit, holding above the $100,000 mark, as supply growth slowed and market participants debated the market's next direction.

The first reason is Bitcoin's hard cap of 21 million BTC. Unlike currencies or stocks, which can be issued in unlimited amounts, Bitcoin’s supply is fixed by code. Kiyosaki says this scarcity is what makes Bitcoin different from other assets and why he views it as a long-term investment rather than a short-term trade.

Why I am buying Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is first truly scarce money… only 21 million ever to be mined.

World close 20 million now.

Buying will accelerate.

FOMO real

Please do not be late.

Take care

HOT Stories

— Robert Kiyosaki (@theRealKiyosaki) October 22, 2025 Second, the author points out how close the network is to reaching that cap. Around 20 million BTC have already been mined, leaving fewer than three million to be released over the next century. Halvings reduce issuance every four years, so the flow of new coins is already limited and trending lower.

Third, he discusses adoption. Spot ETFs are buying directly from exchange reserves, institutions are building their positions and retail investors remain active. Kiyosaki views this as increasing demand in relation to a shrinking pool of available coins, with liquidity gradually shifting from trading markets to long-term storage.

Psychology matters tooFinally, Kiyosaki mentions psychology. The fear of missing out (FOMO) intensifies as Bitcoin remains above six figures, enticing latecomers into the market and creating additional buying pressure. He warns that the cycle of hesitation followed by forced entry repeats each time BTC establishes a new high.

Kiyosaki summarized his view in four points: a fixed limit of 21 million coins, 20 million of which have already been mined; increasing demand and FOMO driving new buyers.

What happenedLetson Investment Management, Inc. disclosed a new stake in Fiserv (FI 0.59%) in its quarterly 13-F filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, available here. The fund reported acquiring 73,166 shares of the financial technology company valued at $9.43 million as of September 30, 2025. The firm did not hold Fiserv shares in the prior quarter.

What else to knowThis was a new position for Letson, representing 3.38% of its $278.74 million in reportable U.S. equity AUM following the trade.

Top holdings for Letson as of September 30, 2025 are:

ABBV: $25.78 million (9.2% of AUM)V: $18.44 million (6.6% of AUM)JNJ: $14.66 million (5.3% of AUM)ABT: $14.56 million (5.2% of AUM)ACN: $10.90 million (3.9% of AUM)As of October 21, 2025, Fiserv shares were priced at $126.07, down 37.9% over the past year, underperforming the S&P 500 by 52.4 percentage points.

Company OverviewMetricValueMarket Cap$68.36 billionRevenue (TTM)$21.11 billionNet Income (TTM)$3.38 billionCompany SnapshotFiserv, Inc. is a leading provider of integrated payment and financial technology solutions with a global client base. The company leverages its scale and diversified product suite to deliver mission-critical services for financial institutions and merchants.

IMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES.

Fiserv's competitive advantage lies in its broad platform capabilities and deep integration across the payments and fintech value chain. It provides payment and financial services technology, including merchant acquiring, digital commerce, point-of-sale solutions, card processing, and digital banking platforms.

The company generates revenue through transaction processing, software and platform subscriptions, and value-added financial technology services across its acceptance, fintech, and payments segments.

Fiserv serves businesses, merchants, banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions globally as primary customers.

Foolish takeInvestment management company Letson's move to initiate a position in Fiserv suggests it has a bullish outlook on the stock. This is despite Wall Street analysts lowering price targets after Fiserv cut its 2025 revenue outlook in July from 10% to 12% year-over-year growth down to approximately 10%.

Shares of the fintech company have steadily declined over the past several months, eventually hitting a 52-week low of $117.84 on Oct. 16. As a result, Fiserv stock's forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio also declined from 17 at the end of Q2 to around 11 in October.

Fiserv's share price drop and compelling valuation may have been the drivers for Letson to jump into the stock. The purchase was significant, putting Fiserv into the top ten within Letson's portfolio of nearly 100 equities.

Letson's faith in Fiserv looks justified as the stock may be poised for a comeback. Fiserv's Q2 sales of $5.5 billion represented 8% year-over-year growth. This is better than the 7% year-over-year increase the fintech giant experienced in 2024.

Given Fiserv's compelling P/E ratio and solid sales growth, the company looks like a buy opportunity to hold for the long run.

Target is down massively since hitting a peak in 2021, but the Dividend King has survived hard times before.

Shares of Target (TGT 0.40%) have declined a massive 65% since hitting a peak in 2021. That's a painful decline, but not actually all that unusual. The stock has lost 50% or more of its value three times in the last 30 years.

If you have a long-term investment horizon, and a strong stomach, now could be a once-in-a-decade opportunity to buy this iconic retailer.

Image source: Getty Images.

You don't become a Dividend King by accident
When looking at Target today there is one achievement that stands out. It has increased its dividend annually for more than five decades, making it a Dividend King. That's no small achievement; the only other retailers to have similarly impressive records are Genuine Parts, Lowe's, and Walmart (WMT +0.87%). Target is No. 3 on the list, with Walmart showing up at No. 4. And only a portion of Genuine Parts' business is retail focused, as the core of its operation is making replacement auto parts.

All in, Target is an elite retailer. The key comparison point among these four companies, however, is very clearly Walmart, which has the most similar business. Genuine Parts and hardware store Lowe's are both specialty retailers. But Target and Walmart have a material difference in the way they operate their stores. Walmart focuses on "everyday low prices" and Target tries to provide a more premium experience and product assortment.

That basically means that Walmart doesn't delve into trends and fashion styles nearly as deeply as Target. Walmart is more of a basics business, while Target can, and has, made merchandising missteps that have left it out of favor with consumers. Target also tends to feel the pinch a bit more during periods of economic concern, like recessions, when consumers trade down to the cheapest possible retail options.

In some ways, the fact that Target is a Dividend King at all is a huge statement about the company's enduring strength as a business. In fact, what's interesting right now is that the trailing-12-month dividend payout ratio is currently around 50%. That suggests that the dividend is probably safe despite the massive stock price decline.

What's going on right now?
And yet Target's stock has indeed fallen massively, pushing the dividend yield up to a historically high 5%. If the company pulls off another business turnaround, as it has several times before over the past 50 years, you could not only end up collecting a huge income stream, but also be in line for material capital appreciation. This is very possibly a once-in-a-decade opportunity for dividend investors to get into Target.

Remember, dividends are paid at the discretion of the board of directors. So a cut is always possible. But the board raised the dividend in mid-2025, well aware of the problems the retailer has been facing. Sure, it was a token 1.8% increase, but the statement is very clear: The board of directors believes Target's future remains bright.

Today's Change

The board also brought in a new CEO to shake things up and help push for change. Another change that's taken place is in Target's approach to overseeing the company, from a one-person strategy to a team. It's unlikely that there's going to be a sudden turnaround in the business, but given the history it seems highly likely that Target will get back on track.

Target's story will take some time to play out
To be fair, risk-averse investors might want to avoid Target. It is still dealing with difficult consumer trends that favor Walmart's everyday low price model. But if you think in decades and not days, and love dividends, you should do a deep dive on Target right now. This could be a huge opportunity for you to lock in a great yield with what has long been an elite retailer.

With strong attendance from UK banks, healthcare providers, and institutional investors, HEALWELL's management shared insights on the growth potential of AI-driven preventative healthcare solutions in the UK.The event featured a fireside chat moderated by Beatrice York, the founder of BY-EQ Limited, reflecting HEALWELL's growing global presence and engagement at the highest levels of healthcare innovation.Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 23, 2025) - HEALWELL AI Inc. (TSX: AIDX) (OTCQX: HWAIF) ("HEALWELL" or the "Company"), a healthcare artificial intelligence company focused on preventative care, is pleased to announce the successful completion of a week-long series of business development and investor awareness activities in the United Kingdom. The visit included strategic meetings with prospective investors, partners, and acquisition targets, as well as an exclusive event in London highlighting HEALWELL's leadership in AI-driven preventative healthcare solutions.

Throughout the week, members of HEALWELL's management team — including CEO James Lee, President Dr. Alexander Dobranowski, and other senior executives — engaged with healthcare providers, financial institutions, and technology partners to explore collaboration opportunities across the UK healthcare ecosystem. Discussions focused on the growing demand for AI tools that improve patient outcomes, enhance clinical efficiency, and enable earlier detection of disease.

As part of the visit, HEALWELL successfully hosted an invitation-only event in London on October 14, 2025, attended by prominent healthcare leaders, investors, and financial institutions. The evening featured a fireside chat moderated by Beatrice York, the founder of BY-EQ Limited, an advisory organization established to support and enrich the landscape of technology and applied innovation. The conversation offered a thoughtful discussion on the integration of artificial intelligence into global healthcare systems, emphasizing how advanced data-driven technologies can empower clinicians, improve operational efficiency, and support a more proactive and sustainable model of care.

The event also provided HEALWELL with an opportunity to highlight its longstanding role as a key data science vendor supporting the UK National Health Service (NHS), underscoring the Company's commitment to improving patient outcomes through clinically validated AI tools that enhance decision support and healthcare delivery.

Strong engagement from UK banks, healthcare providers, and institutional investors throughout the week reinforced the growing alignment between AI innovation and healthcare investment. These discussions explored partnership and M&A opportunities, as well as strategies to leverage HEALWELL's recently acquired Orion Health business, which already operates across UK markets, to accelerate organic growth and expand the Company's footprint internationally.

"Our London event was an excellent opportunity to bring together healthcare and financial leaders to discuss how AI and digital innovation can transform healthcare," said James Lee, Chief Executive Officer of HEALWELL AI. "The engagement and enthusiasm from the UK community reinforces the growing global support for preventative care solutions and highlight the tangible impact our technology is already having on clinicians and patients alike."

"The strong reception from attendees and partners signals a significant opportunity for HEALWELL to expand its presence in the UK," added Dr. Alexander Dobranowski, President of HEALWELL AI. "The event further strengthened our position as a leader in global AI-driven healthcare innovation, while underscoring the growing interest among institutional investors in technologies that meaningfully improve patient outcomes and advance preventative care."

Unilever PLC (LSE:ULVR) kept its 2025 guidance unchanged and said it continued to outperform in developed markets in the third quarter, helped by stronger volumes in North America and a steadier showing in Europe.

The consumer goods group still expects underlying sales growth of 3% to 5% for the year, with the second half ahead of the first, and a higher operating margin.

It is guiding to second-half margins of at least 18.5%, or at least 19.5% excluding Ice Cream. The company also reconfirmed that the planned demerger of the business in 2025, although the process has been slowed by the shutdown of the US stock market regulator.

Unilever said the Ice Cream separation, creating The Magnum Ice Cream Company, will make the group simpler and lift margins.

Looking at the broader group, third-quarter underlying sales rose 3.9% to €14.7 billion, made up of 1.5% volume growth and 2.4% pricing. Excluding Ice Cream, growth was 4.0% with a stronger contribution from volumes.

Turnover fell 3.5% year on year, which Unilever said reflected currency movements and portfolio disposals. The quarterly dividend was set at €0.4528, up 3% on a year ago.

Developed markets, which account for 44% of group sales, grew 3.7% in the quarter. North America led the way with underlying sales up 5.5%, almost all from higher volumes, supported by Personal Care and Beauty & Wellbeing.

Europe grew 1.1% against a tough comparison last year, with Home Care again the bright spot. Emerging markets, 56% of sales, improved to 4.1% growth, with volumes back in positive territory, although Latin America shrank in difficult trading conditions.

Chief executive Fernando Fernandez said: “We continued to outperform in developed markets in the third quarter, led by our strong innovation programme, and, following decisive interventions, stepped up our emerging markets performance with a return to growth in Indonesia and China.

"Growth was broad-based across all business groups and driven by our Power Brands.”

He added: “Our performance excluding Ice Cream showed good sequential improvement, with a step up in volume growth. We expect to complete the Demerger of the Ice Cream business by the end of the year.”

Beauty & Wellbeing grew 5.1% in the quarter, helped by brands such as Dove hair, Vaseline, Liquid I.V., Nutrafol, Hourglass and K18.

Personal Care rose 4.1% as Dove’s premium deodorants and skin cleansing lines continued to land well. Home Care was up 3.1%, with double-digit gains for Cif and Domestos.

Foods grew 3.4% on strong momentum at Hellmann’s. Ice Cream advanced 3.7%, driven by price as it lapped a higher volume period last year.

It is not often that a company can boast record deliveries, a $4bn gush of free cash flow and an overflowing $41.6bn cash pile, and still see its shares slip.

But Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) managed it. Reporting after-hours UK time, the stock nudged down 1.2% as Elon Musk asked investors to keep the faith in a future that is still being built, coded and, in some cases, taught to walk.

What just happened?
Headline revenue for the third quarter came in at $28.09bn, slightly ahead of forecasts, but net income of $1.77bn fell short of the $1.9bn expected.

That gap mattered because markets are twitchy. When profits miss, even by a little, the benefit of the doubt thins out. Yes,

Tesla delivered a record number of vehicles and posted a healthier-than-expected gross margin of 18% (consensus was 17.2%). But the broader story is of a business investing hard today for pay-offs that may arrive tomorrow, or the day after.

For UK savers watching through pensions, SIPPs and ISAs, the question is simple: how long are you prepared to wait?

Free cash flow surges, but none of it will go to investors
The cash generation was eye-catching. Free cash flow, what is left after day-to-day costs and capital spending, hit $4 billion, far better than the just-over-$1bn analysts pencilled in.

Management said an inventory clear-out helped. The war chest now stands at $41.6 billion. That would fund a chunky dividend or share buyback at many global giants.

Not here. Tesla neither pays a dividend nor has it launched a buyback, despite flirting with the idea in 2022. In Musk’s world, surplus cash is rocket fuel for the next idea.

Tesla: The company of ideas
Musk urged people to think of Tesla as a dozen start-ups under one roof: cars, a supercharger network, energy storage, in-house AI chips via work with TSMC and Samsung, the Robotaxi platform and more.

That framing explains the volatility. If you want a tidy loop of sales, cash, buybacks, repeat, this is not that. If you buy into Musk’s pipeline of ideas, you are buying time and optionality.

There were costs to that ambition this quarter: a $400mn hit from President Trump’s tariffs, rising capex and beefed-up compensation in the AI unit as the global talent war intensifies. Operating expenses jumped 50% year on year. None of this screams “harvest mode”.

Holding out hope for the future
Guidance was, in classic Tesla fashion, short on hard numbers but long on direction. A refreshed Model Y and a cheaper new variant are expected to offset the hit from the expiry of US EV tax credits. T

he bigger bet is that cheaper cars plus AI-driven products will pull through a new wave of demand. The strategy is coherent: widen the funnel at the low end while seeding premium, software-like revenue streams at the high end.

If you are wondering where the AI money goes, Tesla said its Austin data centre now runs on 81,000 Nvidia H100s.

Those chips are the industry’s pickaxe; they are also expensive. The bill shows up in opex today; the hoped-for return is embedded in tomorrow’s products.

Robotaxi still in early stages of roll-out
On autonomous driving, investors wanted milestones. They got baby steps. Musk said around 20 robotaxis are operating in Austin and that 8–10 metro areas could follow by year-end, subject to regulators.

That caveat carries weight. Any delay or headline-grabbing incident can stall momentum.

For the share price to re-rate on autonomy, investors will likely want to see scale, safety data and a repeatable path to city-by-city approval.

A Musk-designed robot could be our future
Humanoid robots are another moonshot. Musk said prototypes are already greeting guests at Tesla offices. He stopped short of committing to a retail launch or timeline.

It is intriguing, but it is also capital-hungry, which helps explain why profit lagged and why capex will keep rising. In plain terms: more chips, more labs, more engineers.

Would you pay for Musk’s ideas to come to life?
This is the investor dilemma. In unsettled markets, with geopolitics and rates still front of mind, the appetite to fund long-dated vision can wane.

There were bright spots, energy generation and storage grew, vehicle margins improved, yet the market tone was lukewarm. The 1.2% after-hours dip says sentiment is cautious, not capitulatory.

Key test coming up for the tech sector
The tape is unforgiving this quarter. Netflix wobbled, and now Tesla has met a sceptical audience. Next up are the hyperscalers: Microsoft, Amazon, Meta and Google.

If they deliver, the wider tech complex can steady. If not, investors may keep rewarding cash-returners over cash-consumers for a while yet.

Bottom line
Tesla remains a high-conviction story for true believers and a high-beta headache for everyone else. The numbers show a company with stronger margins, a flood of cash and vast ambition.

The market’s response shows that, for now, ambition needs more proof points. If you are holding via a pension or ISA, your view boils down to a single judgment call: do you want to fund the ideas phase, or wait for the harvest?

Ethereum (ETH) price is struggling to reclaim bullish momentum after failing to break through a key resistance level, even as broader market conditions remain mixed. The cryptocurrency market has recently seen increased volatility, with Bitcoin’s sideways movement and renewed profit-taking dampening short-term sentiment. However, underlying fundamentals such as steady network activity and renewed institutional interest continue to offer support. Against this backdrop, investors are watching closely to see whether Ethereum can regain traction and make another attempt toward the $4,000 mark.

Ethereum (ETH) Price Action and What’s Driving ItEthereum (ETH) is hovering around $3,830 after slipping from its recent attempt to break past the $3,870 resistance zone. The pullback has left traders wondering if ETH is just cooling off before its next move—or if the bulls are starting to lose steam.

So, what’s happening behind the scenes? The broader crypto market has been choppy lately, with Bitcoin trading sideways near $108,000, keeping most altcoins, including Ethereum, in check. Trading volumes have dipped slightly, hinting that traders are waiting for a clear direction before making big moves.

On the brighter side, Ethereum’s network activity remains solid. Staking participation is steady, and user activity on the blockchain shows that confidence hasn’t faded completely. In short, while price action looks uncertain, Ethereum’s fundamentals are still holding up.

Adding to the mix are macro factors—think U.S. interest rate speculations, inflation data, and shifting risk sentiment—all of which continue to sway investor behavior. If these external pressures ease and Ethereum manages to reclaim the $3,350–$3,400 zone, the next big target around $4,000 could come back into play sooner than expected.

Can Ethereum Overcome Resistance and Rally to $4,000?After multiple failed attempts to break past the $3,850–$3,900 resistance, Ethereum is now at a crucial turning point. The price action over the next few days could decide whether ETH gears up for another bullish run—or continues to consolidate below this zone.

For a rally toward $4,000, Ethereum needs a strong push from both the technical and fundamental sides. Technically, traders are watching for a clean breakout above $3,900 with solid trading volume—something that could confirm renewed bullish momentum. On the flip side, if ETH slips below the $3,500–$3,450 support range, it might trigger another wave of short-term selling pressure.

Fundamentally, there’s still plenty working in Ethereum’s favor. Institutional demand is gradually picking up, ETH staking continues to grow, and the upcoming network upgrades are keeping long-term investors optimistic. If the broader crypto market finds its footing—especially with Bitcoin showing stability—Ethereum could easily regain momentum and make another run at the $4,000 milestone in the near term.

Hyperliquid Strategies filed to raise $1 billion to expand HYPE token treasury amid rising institutional demand.The move follows Eyenovia and Lion Group, who also prioritized building large HYPE token reserves in 2025.Monthly HYPE token unlocks and major buybacks create both opportunities and risks for price stability.Hyperliquid Strategies has filed a Form S-1 registration statement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) seeking to raise up to $1 billion. The firm is looking to expand its Hyperliquid (HYPE) token treasury amid growing institutional demand.

The move highlights a shift among public companies, which now increasingly prioritize crypto treasury assets and protocol participation in their strategies.

Public Companies and the HYPE Treasury PlayFor context, Hyperliquid Strategies was established as part of a proposed merger between Nasdaq-listed Sonnet BioTherapeutics Holdings Inc. and Rorschach I LLC, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). The combined entity aims to build a digital-asset treasury focused on the HYPE token.

The merger remains pending but is anticipated to be finalized before the end of the year. Moreover, the company has applied to list its shares on the Nasdaq under a new ticker.

“There is presently no public market for our Common Stock. We have applied to have our Common Stock listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol ‘PURR.’ No assurance can be given that our application will be approved,” the S-1 reads

Under its newly filed registration statement, the firm intends to offer up to 160 million shares of common stock, potentially raising up to $1 billion through a committed equity facility with Chardan Capital Markets LLC.

Hyperliquid Strategies plans to use potential proceeds for general corporate purposes, including possible purchases of the HYPE token. The firm already holds approximately 12.6 million HYPE.

“We intend to use any net proceeds from any sales of shares of our Common Stock to Chardan under the Facility for general corporate purposes, including potential purchases of HYPE Tokens, following the consummation of the Business Combination,” the firm noted.

Now, Hyperliquid Strategies joins firms like Eyenovia and Lion Group Holding, which have also integrated HYPE into their balance sheets.

HYPE Token Buybacks, Unlocks, and Market SentimentMeanwhile, the announcement boosted HYPE’s momentum. BeInCrypto Markets data showed that the altcoin has outperformed all top 20 coins over the past 24 hours. Its value has risen more than 8%. At press time, HYPE traded at $38.26.

Besides institutional interest, the protocol’s own initiatives have also supported the price. BeInCrypto recently reported that Hyperliquid has been dominating the 2025 protocol buyback trend.

These buyback programs reduce selling pressure and signal a long-term commitment to the ecosystem. So far, the project has spent more than $644.64 million in revenue and bought back 21.36 million HYPE tokens.

Nonetheless, while buybacks can boost user trust and price, the market now watches the impact of new token unlocks. Starting in November, approximately 10 million HYPE will unlock each month, ending in October 2027.

Typically, an increase in supply triggers market volatility and could lead to potential downward pressure.

Still, analysts remain optimistic about HYPE’s prospects, highlighting confidence in the protocol.

“The team unlock in November is the most bullish event of Q4 for HYPE. Jeff is based, there’s no chance he’ll start dumping his HYPE on the market. relock? staking? Whatever the decision, it will be beneficial in the short/long term,” an analyst wrote.

Another analyst corroborated this sentiment, noting that the Hyperliquid team is focused on long-term growth.

“Unlocks will pass, and people will realize the HL team are in fact playing long term games,” the analyst added.

Thus, while upcoming token unlocks could test short-term sentiment, the project’s strong buyback activity and institutional momentum suggest continued confidence in HYPE’s long-term potential.

ARK Invest-backed Quantum Solutions has emerged as the largest Ether digital asset treasury outside of the United States after accumulating $9 million worth of ETH in a week. 

Quantum Solutions’ founder, Francis Zhou, announced the company’s latest Ether (ETH) purchase on Thursday.  

“I’m proud to announce that we have accumulated 2,365 ETH in just seven days, officially making Quantum Solutions the largest ETH DAT outside the US,” said Zhou, adding that more Ether buys were coming.

The company said it has become Japan’s leading publicly listed Ether DAT and the 11th-largest globally, citing figures from CoinGecko. 

Quantum Solutions also has a small Bitcoin (BTC) treasury, holding 11.6 BTC worth $1.3 million. 

Last week, Zhou said that the firm was acquiring ETH at the rate of 150 million yen ($983,000) per day, “and will continue to accelerate accumulation.”

The firm currently holds 3,866 ETH worth around $14.8 million, according to its website.

ARK Invest backs ETH treasuriesThe Tokyo stock exchange-listed firm raised $180 million in late September to build a 100,000 ETH treasury and was backed by venture firms including ARK Invest and Susquehanna International Group.

Japan remains open to publicly listed DATs, but other stock exchanges in the region, including Hong Kong, India and Australia, have started clamping down on them. 

“Three months into the DAT revolution, we’re happy to support Japan’s first institutional-grade ETH DAT,” ARK Invest founder and CEO Cathie Wood said on Thursday.

ARK Invest also invested in Tom Lee-chaired BitMine this year, which is the world’s largest Ether DAT. It first added the firm’s stock to its three innovation and fintech funds in September. 

DAT momentum cools However, the digital asset treasury hype appears to be fading as share prices for some of the world’s largest crypto hoarders have slid in recent weeks. 

Last week, Tom Lee questioned whether the DAT bubble had burst, while researchers at 10x Research said, “The age of financial magic is ending for Bitcoin treasury companies.”

However, Lee has been aggressively buying the dip following the record crypto market crash earlier this month.

After two weeks of a disappointing run, Ethereum (ETH) is once again capturing institutional interest as major funds and asset managers step into the smart-contract platform.

According to recent data, Bitmine Immersion Technologies purchased approximately $251 million worth of ETH, adding 63,539 tokens to its portfolio and bringing its holdings to over 3 million ETH ($13 billion).

Institutional Capital Flows Bolster Ethereum’s Bullish Case
BlackRock’s clients have added $41.91 million in Ethereum, marking another sign of growing institutional adoption.

These inflows come as Ethereum breaks out of a descending trendline pattern and parallels the rally seen in gold, with ETH’s correlation to gold reaching 0.7 in Q3 2025, driven by ETF inflows and DeFi-driven growth.

On-chain metrics further reinforce this accumulation narrative. Wallets are moving more ETH off exchanges, signaling long-term holding behavior, while tokenization and DeFi usage on Ethereum’s network continue to expand meaningfully.

Institutions appear to be treating Ethereum not just as a speculative bet, but increasingly as a foundational infrastructure asset, particularly given Ethereum’s post-Proof-of-Stake upgrade energy efficiency and suitability for ESG mandates.

From a technical vantage, Ethereum is testing the key resistance zone near $4,100–$4,440. Analysts like Ali Martinez point out the recent breakout of the descending trendline provides a bullish structural shift, but only if support levels remain intact.

The most critical support lies near $3,800, with a deeper fallback to $3,600 if momentum fades. A sustained move above $4,440 could unlock a run toward $4,800–$5,000, provided institutional flows and macro conditions align.

Conversely, a close below $3,800 would weaken the momentum thesis and potentially invite a retracement toward $3,560 or lower.

With ETF flows, macro liquidity, and network fundamentals converging, Ethereum is showing a rare blend of structural strength, but execution is key. The near-term jury is out until Ethereum closes decisively above $4,100 with volume confirming the move.
