OpenAI Chief Financial Officer Sarah Friar stated in an interview with CNBC on Friday that the company will not change its AI infrastructure investment plans due to the results of the U.S. midterm elections. It will continue to collaborate with major hyperscale cloud service providers and meet AI customer demands through financing. She believes that the election results will not significantly change the company's business, but with increased attention on data centers, OpenAI will continue to strengthen communication and build trust with local communities.In this midterm election, out of 41 local data center-related votes in 10 states, only one did not support measures to limit construction or oppose support for development. Voters are mainly concerned that data centers will drive up electricity costs, harm the environment, and impact employment. Friar stated that OpenAI secretly submitted its listing application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in June and is considering going public in 2027, while negotiating a new round of financing with a pre-investment valuation of $1.25 trillion. She emphasized that the demand for AI is real and continues to grow.

Investors are reportedly discussing that Anthropic's initial public offering valuation is between 1.2 trillion and 1.3 trillion US dollars.

The on-chain options platform Hypercall, based on Hyperliquid, plans to launch a pre-IPO options market linked to Anthropic, claiming it to be the first of its kind. Trading is expected to start on Monday and will operate around the clock, open only in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions and not available to U.S. customers; the platform will support call and put options as well as spread strategies. The relevant contracts are synthetic, cash-settled derivatives, and traders will not hold actual shares of Anthropic or gain voting rights, with settlement amounts calculated based on the strike price and the reference price at expiration. The existing perpetual contracts associated with Anthropic on Hyperliquid can provide hedging channels for options market makers.Hypercall currently also offers options linked to SpaceX, the S&P 500 index, Bitcoin, and Ethereum; its founder Jake Sylvestre previously disclosed that the nominal trading volume for September options was $536 million.

Jeff Park, a partner at ParaFi Capital and an advisor to Bitwise and Solana, stated that the artificial intelligence company Anthropic is facing failure due to extreme asset-liability mismatches in its business model, requiring substantial equity support to maintain credit and cover massive non-cancelable computing power commitments.Jeff Park cited the example of the "confidence game" in the cryptocurrency market, pointing out that if the company's stock price does not rise significantly after its IPO, it will fall into a death spiral. He believes the best outcome is for the company to fail and be acquired, or for the U.S. government to collaborate with sovereign funds from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and others for an international bailout to restore market confidence.

According to a report by Reuters, four insiders revealed that potential investors are skeptical about whether the artificial intelligence company Anthropic can complete its roadshow in the week after next and go public as planned in November. The roadshow was originally scheduled to start in the week of November 9, with pricing arrangements to take place the following week. Currently, some believe that the $1.5 trillion valuation cap is already anticipated; given Anthropic's consecutive quarterly losses and significant investments in AI partnerships, the company may need to offer a larger discount.Sources said that if AI-related assets continue to be under pressure, Anthropic may delay its IPO until market conditions are more stable. Anthropic declined to comment. Additionally, two other sources told Reuters that investors are also waiting for Anthropic's revenue data for October. This data was left blank in the company's updated S-1 filing, and investors hope to see if its growth has recovered from the recent slowdown.

Informed sources say that after a significant sell-off in the stock market triggered by the liquidation of investments related to artificial intelligence, large investors are increasingly skeptical about whether Anthropic's IPO can achieve the expected valuation of $1.5 trillion.Three large investors planning to participate in the IPO stated that the valuation may need to be adjusted, with one suggesting it could be closer to $1 trillion.

According to a report by Phoenix Technology citing The Verge, Adam Fry, the head of consumer products for OpenAI ChatGPT, stated at a media event on Monday that the volume of search queries handled by ChatGPT has reached 20% of Google's search query volume. He defined search as the act of users inputting queries that trigger web searches, excluding tasks such as defining terms or simple operational instructions, but did not specify the source of the Google search volume data.In comparison, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella stated during the 2023 Google antitrust trial that Bing holds about 3% of the search engine market share. The report noted that OpenAI's search likely relies heavily on Microsoft Bing while also using its own search index. Fry also mentioned that the Intelligent UI referred to by OpenAI involves creating visual and interactive interfaces in chatbot responses, indicating that this is the future direction of the technology.Fry also discussed advertising. He stated that advertising has not negatively impacted the product or its usage, and most people seem to mind the ads in the product. OpenAI announced last month that it would begin displaying images of sponsored products and services in ChatGPT, rather than just the company names, logos, and product links previously shown. The report mentioned that this discussion comes as the company may launch an IPO early next year.

ViaBTC mining pool and CoinEx trading platform founder and CEO Yang Haipo posted on X, commenting on the Binance security incident. He stated that the incident exposed at least three avoidable mistakes, which do not require complex technology; what is lacking is discipline.Yang Haipo pointed out that first, the development and operation environments were not completely isolated. Personnel with production environment permissions should use dedicated devices and not install third-party software; coding, chatting, and web browsing should be done on another device. Second, the operation and maintenance system lacked effective dual verification. A single key could operate production services, and once the key was leaked, attackers could gain full production access. He believes that production operations could be conducted in a manner similar to AWS browser-based Session Manager, using hardware security keys as a second factor to prevent a single credential leak from constituting a breach. Third, MPC multi-signature is merely nominal; the signers did not perform substantial independent verification of the transactions. Compromising one node could render the entire mechanism ineffective, resulting in the same effect as a single signature. Multi-signature is only effective when the signers do not trust each other, independently verify the transaction itself, rather than trusting upstream requests.On November 3, Binance released preliminary investigation results regarding the security incident on October 29. Binance stated that approximately $6.34 billion in digital assets were affected, and as of the update, about $2.85 billion had been frozen or intercepted, with 98% of the affected tokens having been replenished. The report indicated that attackers gained unauthorized access to the internal wallet signature service and exploited Ethereum EIP-7702 to authorize the hot wallet; due to the hot wallet using multi-party computation, it could not immediately revoke the relevant authorization with a single private key. Binance cited information from the FBI stating that North Korea is responsible for this incident.

According to the Financial Times, the China Securities Regulatory Commission recently held meetings with investment banks and issued verbal guidance to banks and investment banks, requesting a pause on initial public offerings (IPOs). In addition, large-scale stock reductions by existing shareholders have also been temporarily halted until the market stabilizes.Previously, Chinese regulatory authorities had implemented measures to restrict reductions and encourage stock buybacks. On Monday, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, the People's Bank of China, and the National Financial Supervision and Administration held meetings with securities companies and fund companies to discuss measures to stabilize the stock market, including lowering the stock buyback re-lending rate from 1.25% to 1% and expanding swap convenience operations.Reports indicate that the IPO financing scale in China has exceeded 292 billion yuan this year, the highest since 2023. If IPOs and large-scale reductions are paused, it may impact financing activities in China's equity market. The relevant measures are currently mainly based on informal window guidance disclosed by informed sources, and regulatory authorities have not officially confirmed them.
