    SpaceX Stock Premarket: SPCX Rises To $138 As Gary Black Warns On Tesla Merger Premium

    SpaceX shares rose about 1.2% in premarket trading on Tuesday to $138.00, adding to a 1.22% gain in the previous session that lifted the stock to $136.37. The move follows three straight days of losses last week after T-Mobile rejected a wholesale network deal. Investors are also weighing the possible Tesla merger. Gary Black of The Future Fund warned Tesla holders that a stock-funded deal may not deliver the premium many expect. He pointed to Marvell’s roughly $115 billion all-stock offer for Lumentum, which carried a 24% premium, yet Lumentum fell about 15% and Marvell lost around 26% since talks became public. A Motley Fool forecast sees SpaceX reaching about $175.25 by the end of 2027, with a bullish case near $233.

    Nvidia Stock Today: Why Intel’s 45% Slide Matters For NVDA Investors

    Nvidia’s market value has fallen to about $4.94 trillion, dipping under the $5 trillion mark as investors reassess chip stocks after Intel’s collapse. Intel lost 45% in October, including a 29% plunge in a single day, pulling attention to where future US chip production and alliances will be built. Nvidia sits at the centre of that question, since its AI processors shape where new factory capacity and government support are likely to go. The company earns about $275.4 billion from its Compute and Networking segment and $27.6 billion from Graphics. A key long-term risk is its CUDA software platform. If a cheaper open alternative gains ground, large firms could go straight to manufacturers like TSMC for custom chips, putting pressure on Nvidia’s high margins.

    When Do 2026 US Midterm Election Results Come Out?

    Results from the 2026 US midterm elections are expected to start coming in on November 3, from around 6 PM to 8 PM ET, as polling stations begin closing across the country. Initial results will emerge throughout the evening, with key House and Senate races drawing attention. However, official results may take several hours or days, depending on how close individual races are and how long ballot counting takes. Results from mail-in and provisional ballots could further delay final outcomes. The final control of Congress may not be clear until all key races are called.

    Bitcoin Mining Crackdown: Mexico City Lawmaker Targets Electricity Theft

    A Mexico City lawmaker has proposed tough new penalties for people who steal electricity to mine cryptocurrency. Alberto Martínez Urincho wants to amend Mexico’s Federal Criminal Code so that illegal power use for mining carries a prison term of 5 to 12 years, Publimetro reported. Offenders would also face fines of 1,000 to 3,000 UMA units, Mexico’s official benchmark for setting fines, and lose their equipment. Sentences could rise to 18 years in more serious cases, such as tapping into high-voltage lines, causing major disruption to power supply or running hidden data centres. The plan targets unauthorised power connections, not legal crypto mining. It still needs approval from the Mexico City legislature and must pass through the federal lawmaking process.

    XRP News: Ripple’s Fairshake Funding Clashes With Larsen’s $4M Sherrod Brown Support

    The crypto industry is split over one of the most closely watched races in Tuesday’s US midterm elections. Ripple is among the largest donors to Fairshake, the crypto super PAC spending heavily to defeat Sherrod Brown, according to crypto commentator Scott Melker. At the same time, Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen has given $4 million to back Brown and spent $22.5 million of his own money mostly supporting Democrats, Melker said. He noted that Larsen’s political views go beyond crypto. The industry has poured more than $200 million into the midterms to push for friendlier rules, with Fairshake accounting for about $154 million. Melker argued that Congress is likely to end up gridlocked whatever the result, and that markets have already priced in the outcome.

    PLTR Stock: Palantir Earnings Prediction Market Sees 73% Chance of an Up Day

    Palantir (PLTR) is set to report its Q3 earnings after market close, with Wall Street expecting earnings of $0.41 per share and revenue of $2.18 billion. Management’s revenue guidance stands at approximately $2.16 billion. Investors are closely watching U.S. commercial growth, which surged 149% last quarter. Meanwhile, the PLTR Daily Up/Down market on Limitless is pricing in a 72–73% probability of the stock closing higher today. The market offers traders a way to speculate on daily price direction without using options or futures. However, the implied probability does not guarantee a positive earnings reaction.

    Spot Bitcoin ETF Record $643M Outflows After Binance Hack Fears

    Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $643.3 million in net outflows on Friday, marking their largest single-day withdrawal since June 25. Ethereum ETFs also faced selling pressure, recording $155.9 million in outflows during the same session. The withdrawals came amid concerns following the reported Binance hack, triggering a broader risk-reduction move among investors. However, analysts described the outflows as a de-risking event rather than capitulation. The Bitcoin ETF withdrawals represent less than 1% of total assets under management, suggesting that the selling does not yet indicate a broader loss of institutional confidence.

    Bitcoin Price Today: Cycle Pattern Points To $100K Despite Binance Hack Dip

    Bitcoin’s chart is closely following the same structure that came before its last major recovery, pointing to a possible climb toward $100,000. A strong bullish divergence formed on the weekly chart right at the cycle low, where price made a lower low while momentum turned higher. A sharp breakout followed, matching the move seen in 2022. That rally then swept the most recent high, another step repeated from the previous cycle. The current dip appears to be a modest correction toward the recent low. A full retest of that low looks less likely this time, since many traders are already watching it and several altcoins have already cleared similar levels. If the pattern holds, the next phase would be a push to $100,000. Bitcoin slipped below $78,500 last week after the Binance hack.

    THORChain Halts Trading On 10 Blockchains After Ethereum Reorg Triggers 10 ETH Overpayment

    THORChain has paused trading on most of its supported blockchains after an Ethereum block reorganisation caused it to pay out 10 ETH it never received. At 11:34 UTC on October 31, a one-block reorg on Ethereum dropped a 10 ETH deposit that THORChain had already counted. The swap missed its price limit and was refunded, so the vault sent back 10 ETH that never arrived, while the user’s real deposit was also refunded. THORChain’s solvency checker spotted the gap and stopped ETH swaps automatically. Node operators halted ETH payouts within about two minutes, then froze all chains as a precaution, since the flaw could be repeated by attackers during future reorgs. The user has returned the 10 ETH. Trading remains live only on AVAX, Base, RUNE and XRPL while developers prepare fixes.

    Crypto News: Vitalik Buterin Arrives In Mumbai Ahead Of Devcon,

    Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has landed in Mumbai ahead of Devcon, the Ethereum Foundation’s flagship developer conference, which runs from November 3 to 6. In a post on X, Buterin said he is looking forward to meeting both familiar and new faces and to seeing projects focused on open, secure, private and decentralised technology. Devcon organisers confirmed Buterin will speak on stage during the four-day event. Developers, researchers and community groups will gather to discuss Ethereum’s roadmap and wider blockchain development. Hosting Devcon in Mumbai puts India in the spotlight as one of Ethereum’s largest developer bases. The event comes days after a major security breach at Binance unsettled the crypto market.

    Binance Withdrawals Resume Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana In First Phase

    Binance will begin restoring withdrawals on Sunday, November 1, after last week’s record hack, with the first phase starting between 06:00 and 09:00 UTC, or 11:30 am to 2:30 pm IST. The exchange said access will return gradually as each asset and network passes security checks, and users should expect some temporary delays. Phase one covers 15 networks, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain and Solana. Binance said balances for ten major digital assets are fully backed. Deposits have stayed open throughout. The exchange said it has already covered about 95% of the amount affected by the exploit and will absorb all losses itself, with none passed on to customers.

    XRP/USD : XRP Price Today

    XRP is approaching a key resistance zone between $1.25 and $1.27. A strong 12-hour close above this range could invalidate the bearish target of $1.11–$1.17. However, the analyst still expects XRP to break below its smaller yellow channel and move toward $1.11–$1.17 to complete its correction. Another possible scenario involves a rally toward $1.43 and then $1.63–$1.65 before a retest of the $1.10 region. The analyst remains bullish on XRP’s broader market structure as long as key support holds.

    Donald Trump Comments on Binance Hack, Says US Is Still Investigating North Korea’s Role

    US President Donald Trump addressed the reported $6.3 billion Binance hack during a press exchange at the White House on October 30. Asked whether North Korea was behind the attack, Trump said the US was still investigating the incident. He added that Binance had told him it expected to recover the stolen funds and had the situation largely under control, but said, “We’ll see.” Trump also expressed concerns about digital money, comparing online transactions with traditional paper checks. He said he had long considered digital payments somewhat dangerous because people can no longer physically see their money.

    OpenAI Cuts Funding Target by $10 Billion and Valuation by $150 Billion Amid Tech Selloff

    OpenAI has reduced its funding target by $10 billion and its valuation by $150 billion amid this week’s technology stock selloff, according to the Financial Times. The company is now seeking to raise $20 billion at a $1.25 trillion valuation, down from its earlier target of $30 billion at a $1.4 trillion valuation. OpenAI had set a deadline of October 31 for investors to commit to the funding round. However, the first close is now expected to bring in less than $20 billion after some investors reduced their allocations. The funding revision comes weeks before the expected Anthropic IPO.

    Anthropic IPO Could Receive Junk Credit Rating Despite $800 Billion AI Spending Plan

    Anthropic is expected to receive a high-yield, or “junk,” credit rating from major agencies following its IPO, which could take place as soon as November, according to the Financial Times. Blackstone has reportedly told investors that Anthropic is unlikely to secure an investment-grade rating immediately after listing. The firm is also working with banks that provided financing to sell the debt to other investors. An investment-grade rating is considered central to Anthropic’s ability to fund its AI expansion. The company expects to spend more than $800 billion on computing infrastructure between now and 2045, as AI infrastructure financing faces growing scrutiny.

    How Binance Plans To Cover $6 Billion Hack Without Hitting Customers

    Binance says customer balances are untouched by this week’s hack because the stolen crypto came from one of its own hot wallets, which the exchange legally owns. A Binance spokesperson explained the setup to journalist Eleanor Terrett. When users deposit crypto on an exchange, the platform typically takes ownership of the assets and credits each customer with a claim on them. Retail holdings are usually pooled in a shared account, and each customer is entitled to a proportional share. The drained wallet held assets that backed those claims, so the loss falls on Binance first. The exchange said it has set aside more than $6.34 billion of its own money to replace what was taken. Without enough reserves, customers could have faced reduced payouts, often called a haircut.

    Intel Stock 30% Crash: Lip-Bu Tan’s Turnaround Hits Major Setback After Q3 Earnings

    Intel shares plunged about 30% on Friday to around $63.56, heading for their steepest one-day fall since 1974, after the chipmaker issued a weak outlook. Intel expects fourth-quarter adjusted earnings of 25 cents a share on revenue of $15 billion to $16 billion, far below forecasts of 43 cents and $17.1 billion. CFO David Zinsner said the PC slowdown, driven by rising memory and component costs, will last at least through the first half of 2027. An explosion at Intel’s Israel plant earlier this month, which killed two workers, will also cut about $600 million in revenue over two quarters. The drop erased roughly $12 billion from the US government’s 10% stake and about $6 billion from Nvidia’s holding. Intel shares had gained around 150% this year before the report.

    Nvidia News Today: $4.8 Billion Chip Purchases Under Scrutiny In Megaspeed Probe

    China has rejected a New York Times report alleging that a businesswoman close to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was working for Chinese intelligence. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun called the claims groundless and a smear, state-run Global Times reported on Friday. The Times said US agencies concluded that Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, a Chinese citizen and senior executive at Singapore data centre firm Megaspeed, passed information to Beijing. President Trump was briefed about a year ago but did not act, partly over concerns about Nvidia’s sales and trade ties with China, according to the report. US authorities have investigated Megaspeed since late 2024 over suspected chip diversion. Its Malaysian sister company bought at least $4.8 billion in Nvidia-based AI equipment between June 2024 and February 2026. The case has moved to the Justice Department. Nvidia says Huang’s meetings with her were routine.

    Amazon Stock Premarket: AMZN Sinks 7.4% To $225.71 As $77 Billion Capex Spooks Investors

    Amazon shares fell 7.42% in premarket trading on Friday to $225.71, down $18.08 from Thursday’s close of $243.79, after the company missed third-quarter forecasts. Revenue rose 12% to $201.9 billion but fell short of expectations, and earnings also came in below estimates. Spending was the bigger worry. Amazon invested more than $77 billion in property and equipment during the quarter, well above forecasts, as it adds data centre capacity for AI. It kept its 2026 capital spending plan at $220 billion and reported negative free cash flow for a second straight quarter. Online store sales grew just 2% to $68.5 billion, the weakest pace since early 2023. AWS was a bright spot, with growth accelerating for a sixth quarter in a row.

    Why Is Nvidia Stock Down Today? AI Spending Fears And China Probe Headlines

    Nvidia shares dropped 3.06% in premarket trading on Friday to $207.12, down $6.54 from Thursday’s close of $213.66. The fall pushes the stock below the $210 support level and into the $205 to $208 zone. Nasdaq futures were down 2.44% at around 5 pm IST, and S&P 500 futures fell 1%, as weak results from Amazon and Intel revived worries about heavy AI spending. Nvidia is also dealing with a New York Times report alleging that Alice Huang, an executive at Singapore data centre firm Megaspeed, was identified by US intelligence as a Chinese asset who grew close to CEO Jensen Huang. Huang said Nvidia’s dealings with Megaspeed were normal. The company said earlier claims that Megaspeed diverted chips were investigated and dismissed last year.

    SpaceX Stock Premarket Today: SPCX Falls 4% Toward $138 After T-Mobile Snub

    SpaceX shares fell 4.09% in premarket trading on Friday to $138.00, down $5.89 from Thursday’s close of $143.89. If the losses hold, the stock would post a third straight decline after slipping 2.25% on October 28 and 0.92% on October 29. Pressure has built since T-Mobile CEO Srini Gopalan said the carrier sees no room for a wholesale deal that would let SpaceX sell mobile plans over its network. That leaves SpaceX needing another partner or its own towers to launch a nationwide wireless service. Broader tech weakness is adding to the drop, with Nasdaq-100 futures down 2% after weak earnings from Amazon and Intel. SpaceX’s existing satellite partnership with T-Mobile remains active.

    Chevron Stock Rises After Profit Nearly Triples To $9.9 Billion On Record Refining

    Chevron and Exxon Mobil both topped third-quarter forecasts on Friday, powered by US refineries running flat out to meet strong demand for diesel. Attacks on refineries in Russia and the Middle East have pushed global diesel prices sharply higher, and American refiners stepped up output to fill the gap. Chevron’s net income nearly tripled to $9.9 billion, with adjusted earnings of $5.28 a share beating the $4.89 estimate. Its refining profit jumped more than 300% to $4.9 billion as plants ran at 98% capacity and processed a record of just over 1 million barrels a day. Exxon’s profit doubled to $15.4 billion, with adjusted earnings of $4.23 a share against $4.08 expected, as its Gulf Coast refineries ran at full capacity. Chevron shares rose about 2% before the open and Exxon gained 1.5%.

    A bruising week for Big Tech earnings ended on a sour note Friday, with Nasdaq-100 futures down 2% before the open. Intel shares slumped 25% in premarket trading after the chipmaker gave a weaker-than-expected outlook, blaming a still-soft PC market. Amazon fell 7% after missing third-quarter revenue and profit forecasts and posting a second straight quarter of negative free cash flow, this time much deeper. The company kept its 2026 capital spending plan at $220 billion. Chip stocks including Micron, Nvidia and Arm traded lower, while ASML led sharp losses in Europe. Alphabet closed 13% down on Thursday, its worst day ever. Raymond James’ Matt Orton said fundamentals remain intact but warned that positioning in tech is still crowded.

    Vitalik Buterin Slept On Ripple CTO’s Couch Before Creating Ethereum, David Schwartz Reveals

    Ripple almost brought Vitalik Buterin on board before he went on to create Ethereum, CTO Emeritus David Schwartz said at Ripple Swell. Schwartz told the audience that in the company’s earliest days, when it was likely still called OpenCoin, a young Buterin reached out to then-CTO Stefan Thomas. Ripple wanted to hire him, but a company must exist for at least six months before it can sponsor a US work visa, and Ripple had not reached that mark. Buterin instead stayed on Thomas’s couch until he had to leave the country. Schwartz joked that it was a shame, given what Buterin might have achieved had he joined Ripple. He added that Buterin pitched on-chain smart contracts, while Ripple’s founders preferred building a set of financial tools directly into the protocol.

    Ripple’s Honest Pitch: Some XRP Is Better Than None, RLUSD Fills The Gaps

    Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said XRP is not the right tool for every transaction, but the company will use it wherever it makes sense. Asked to describe Ripple in 60 seconds as if no one had heard of it, Garlinghouse called it a blockchain infrastructure firm that began with payments, then moved into corporate treasury and prime brokerage. XRP serves as the foundation across those businesses, and Ripple prioritises it because doing so is in its own interest, he said. Garlinghouse acknowledged that XRP is highly efficient in some cases and less so in others. When a client’s payment runs through fiat or RLUSD instead, Ripple still gets part of the business. He said he would rather see XRP handle a small share of a customer’s transactions than none at all.
