The key events to watch this week:
Monday, October 12, 8:30 p.m. and 8:45 p.m. ET | Broadcom and NVIDIA Keynotes at OCP
Broadcom and NVIDIA will discuss open AI networking and AI factory infrastructure, with subsequent sessions covering optical interconnects, 800 VDC power and liquid cooling. Watch for compatibility standards, deployment timelines and efficiency gains, while distinguishing technology demonstrations from customer deployments.
Wednesday, October 14, Before the U.S. Market Open | ASML Q3 Earnings
ASML previously guided to a third-quarter gross margin of 55%–57% and planned approximately 30% capacity increases for both low-NA EUV and DUV immersion systems in 2027. Orders, customer delivery schedules and updated guidance will indicate whether demand supports those expansion plans and sustained margins.
Wednesday, October 14, 8:30 a.m. ET | U.S. September CPI
August CPI rose 3.4% year over year and 0.4% month over month, with gasoline accounting for more than one-third of the monthly increase; core CPI rose 0.3% month over month. September’s report will show whether energy pressure persists and whether shelter and other core services also accelerate, potentially changing rate expectations.
Thursday, October 15, 8:30 a.m. ET | U.S. September PPI, Retail Sales and Weekly Jobless Claims
The simultaneous releases will update producer prices, consumer spending and labor-market conditions. Focus on cost pressures, retail spending beyond autos and gasoline, and the four-week average of initial claims to distinguish underlying changes from price effects or weekly volatility.
Thursday, October 15, Noon ET | EIA Petroleum Inventories
The Columbus Day holiday delays this report, which covers the week ended October 9. Crude, gasoline and distillate inventories should be assessed alongside refinery utilization and trade flows to distinguish supply adjustments from changes in end-user demand.
Thursday, October 15, 11:30 p.m. ET | Warsh’s Discussion with IMF Managing Director Georgieva
Fed Chair Kevin Warsh and IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva will discuss forces reshaping the global economy. Following the inflation and spending releases, watch for changes in Warsh’s assessment of inflation, growth and the policy path; the official agenda does not promise discussion of a specific rate decision.
Bottom line:
The key question in this week’s U.S. data is whether prices, spending and employment point in the same direction. Persistent core inflation alongside resilient consumption could strengthen expectations for further tightening; weaker spending without easing price pressure would make the Fed’s trade-off more difficult. EIA inventories add context on energy supply and demand, while Warsh’s discussion may clarify how he interprets economic developments.

According to 21st Century Business Herald, Beijing police have opened a criminal investigation into companies linked to CreditEase, one of China’s largest former P2P lending groups, with founder Tang Ning and other suspects placed under criminal compulsory measures. CreditEase had previously halted redemptions on fixed-income-like products and said the group may be insolvent, with a significant repayment shortfall. CreditEase and its affiliated investment funds have also been active in crypto and fintech investments, with publicly disclosed portfolio exposure including Circle, Matrixport, Figure, Archax and Poko.

Genesis Digital Assets, a bitcoin miner in which FTX’s Alameda Research invested more than $1 billion, is being converted into an AI data center business by new controlling shareholder SWI Group, the Wall Street Journal reported. SWI spent $500 million in June to buy a large stake and said on Oct. 12 it is raising 800 million euros, about $900 million, for upgrades and expansion. It plans to use Genesis sites in Texas, North and South Carolina and Sweden to supply computing power to large cloud providers, and to sell remaining Kazakhstan mining assets.

Star Xu: o mecanismo de combinação de ordens da Hyperliquid é mais favorável aos formadores de mercado
O fundador da OKX, Star Xu, afirmou no podcast New Era Finance que a Hyperliquid difere fundamentalmente das exchanges centralizadas com livro de ordens em seu projeto técnico. Enquanto as exchanges centralizadas processam as ordens individualmente, a Hyperliquid as combina bloco a bloco e prioriza os cancelamentos dentro de cada bloco, permitindo que os formadores de mercado cancelem ordens antes dos tomadores. Ele acredita que esse projeto favorável aos formadores de mercado explica por que a profundidade do livro de ordens da Hyperliquid parece superior à de muitas exchanges centralizadas, além de oferecer uma abordagem alternativa para ativos de cauda longa com liquidez limitada.

Sui Foundation is investing $30 million in AI training data protocol DATA Network and will become its largest institutional holder. Existing holders include PIP Labs and DATA Foundation. DATA Network will be upgraded to run natively on Sui, its independent chain will be retired, and the existing DATA token will move to Sui one-for-one. The current network will keep operating until the migration is complete, and a detailed timeline will be released before the upgrade.

A Liquid Network voltou a funcionar, mas os peg-outs que convertem L-BTC de volta em bitcoin continuam suspensos, com um déficit de reservas de cerca de 603 BTC. A Liquid afirmou que os resgates não serão retomados até que as reservas garantam integralmente todos os L-BTC em circulação e as análises de segurança sejam concluídas. Um bug no Elements, em 6 de setembro, permitiu a criação e o resgate não autorizados de L-BTC. Cerca de 3.996 a 4.000 BTC saíram da reserva da federação, então avaliados em aproximadamente US$ 320 milhões. Atores de chapéu branco devolveram cerca de 3.400 BTC em 7 de setembro, deixando entre 598 e 603 BTC ainda não devolvidos. Em 11 de outubro, os peg-outs continuavam suspensos. O CEO da Blockstream, Adam Back, afirmou que a paridade de 1:1 será totalmente coberta, mas não informou uma data.

According to monitoring by @EmberCN, two Ethereum Foundation-linked wallets sent 4,393 ETH, about $11.13 million, to Kraken about four hours ago. The wallets received 59,751 ETH from an Ethereum Foundation wallet 10 years ago, and 49,751 ETH of that has been moved to Kraken over the past decade at an average price of about $658.

A RippleX e a Fundação XRP Ledger divulgaram que uma falha crítica de estouro no mecanismo de pagamentos poderia ter permitido que um invasor criasse XRP utilizável além da oferta fixa da rede, usando uma transação especialmente elaborada. O problema, presente em códigos que remontam a 2015, foi relatado pelo programa de recompensas por bugs da XRPL e corrigido no xrpld 3.4.1 em 25 de setembro. Naquele dia, mais de 80% dos validadores padrão já haviam sido atualizados.
O pesquisador de segurança @Cayden_Liao disse que a prova de conceito de sua equipe poderia criar cerca de 18 trilhões de XRP em uma única transação — aproximadamente 184 vezes a oferta prevista de 100 bilhões de XRP — e rendeu a recompensa máxima de US$ 250.000 do programa. A XRPL disse não ter encontrado evidências de que a falha tenha sido explorada em uma rede pública.

A Ledger informou que foi encontrado um implante de hardware não autorizado dentro de um dispositivo afetado, confirmando a adulteração física. A empresa afirmou não haver indícios de que sua própria infraestrutura, seus sistemas ou serviços tenham sido comprometidos, enquanto a distribuidora CryptoBilis suspendeu as vendas de carteiras de hardware. A Ledger recomendou que os usuários afetados evitem inicializar dispositivos não utilizados e considerem transferir seus ativos para carteiras criadas com novas frases de recuperação. Uma análise anterior on-chain estimou que as perdas relacionadas ao incidente ultrapassam US$ 86 milhões.

O usuário do X Boblob alegou que duas carteiras exploraram o mecanismo de precificação da Papertrade ao usar ordens de aproximadamente US$ 20 milhões na Hyperliquid para mover as cotações de ETH em 10–20 pontos-base, enquanto mantinham posições compradas muito maiores na Papertrade. A plataforma de contratos perpétuos baseada na HyperEVM aparentemente usa o ponto médio entre a melhor oferta de compra e a melhor oferta de venda da Hyperliquid como preço de execução, o que pode torná-la vulnerável à manipulação de curto prazo do BBO. O trader Rune observou que a própria documentação da Papertrade lista a manipulação do BBO como um risco não resolvido do protocolo. As alegações não foram verificadas de forma independente, e a Papertrade não confirmou nenhuma perda.

A plataforma de análise de blockchain Bubblemaps alegou que o influenciador da Pump.fun Ethan (@0xEthan) usou carteiras vinculadas para comprar tokens antes de promovê-los e vendê-los pouco depois. Uma análise de 49 menções a tokens concluiu que as carteiras suspeitas de estarem vinculadas normalmente compravam antes das publicações dele e começavam a vender, em média, três minutos após a primeira menção — às vezes enquanto Ethan ainda demonstrava publicamente otimismo em relação aos tokens.
A Bubblemaps estimou lucros e recompensas totais de aproximadamente US$ 125.000, incluindo US$ 45.000 em lucros com negociações e US$ 80.000 em recompensas por menções. As conexões entre as carteiras e os ganhos continuam sendo estimativas de terceiros e não foram verificados de forma independente.
