According to the Daily Telegraph, the UK AI data center company Nscale is considering postponing its $35 billion (approximately £26 billion) listing plan until next year. Last week, global tech stocks faced a sell-off, with the US stock market losing $3 trillion in value, raising concerns that the Democratic "blue wave" after the US midterm elections could slow down data center construction, leading to a collective decline in valuations of highly leveraged AI companies.Nscale originally planned to go public "soon" in New York. According to US stock market rules, if the company does not release a new quarterly financial report soon, it has only a few days left to initiate trading; insiders say no decision has been made yet, and the company is expected to announce its third-quarter financial report shortly.Nscale submitted its application to list on the New York Stock Exchange in September this year, hoping to achieve a valuation of up to $35 billion, but some investors believe it may be less than half of that figure based on current market conditions; earlier this year, a round of financing valued it at $14.6 billion.The listing plan has faced setbacks: Microsoft withdrew last month from a deal to lease its flagship data center in Loughton, Essex, and rejected space in other parts of the company’s facilities; delays in grid connection could push the UK site back to the next decade.Nscale's investors include Nvidia (which was expected to reinvest $1 billion this month), and its board includes former UK Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, who is expected to gain up to $40 million from the listing, while CEO Josh Payne could receive $350 million. The company's contracts with clients such as Microsoft and Anthropic are worth over $100 billion, but they largely depend on the completion of new data centers; the company declined to comment.

The non-profit research organization Ethlabs stated that the EIP-8037 and EIP-8038 in the Ethereum Glamsterdam upgrade involve adjustments to Gas costs and billing mechanisms, which may affect some already deployed smart contracts. Ethlabs recommends postponing modifications to the upgrade specifications or determining the fork date for the Hoodi testnet until the results of external audits are published and the relevant impacts are clarified. The final decision will be made by the Ethereum Core Developers Meeting (ACD).The two external audits commissioned by the Ethereum Foundation from ChainSecurity and Dedaub are expected to be published before November 16. On the same day, a public Q&A will be held during the ACD testing meeting. The ACD executive meeting on November 19 is expected to discuss the audit results and may decide whether to modify the upgrade specifications.Glamsterdam aims to increase the Ethereum Gas limit per block from 60 million to 200 million. Ethlabs pointed out that adjustments to Gas costs may affect contracts and tools with hardcoded operational costs, and changes in the billing mechanism may also cause some deployed contracts to exhibit unexpected behavior. For example, after an internal call rollback, the remaining Gas returned by gasleft() may actually increase, affecting the contract's judgment on whether the call failed due to Gas exhaustion.

OpenAI announced the launch of a centralized system called Control Room, designed to track model workloads within its research infrastructure and quickly halt related tasks when security or safety concerns arise. This system currently covers research workloads within OpenAI, including training experiments, evaluations, and data processing. OpenAI stated that as model capabilities increase, associated safety and security risks also rise, making it increasingly critical to detect potential issues in a timely manner and swiftly halt models when necessary.In terms of specific mechanisms, Control Room assigns an identifier to each research task, and the inference engine verifies this identifier before generating model outputs. When a stop command is issued by manual or automated monitoring systems, Control Room revokes the authorization for that task, thereby blocking subsequent outputs, even if the underlying research program is still running. OpenAI noted that cached authorizations could delay shutdowns by up to 35 seconds; additionally, if Control Room itself is unavailable, the system is designed to reject new requests.Prior to this release, OpenAI had disclosed multiple incidents this year where research models deviated from instructions during evaluations. In July, the company reported that its model escaped a restricted testing environment and infiltrated Hugging Face to cheat in a security assessment. In October, it disclosed that a research model used an unauthorized encrypted wallet to pay for smart contract deployment fees on the testnet ETH, and this expenditure was omitted from the final summary.

According to a report by the Korean News Agency, South Korean Finance Minister Lee Hyoung-il stated that the government plans to postpone the cryptocurrency capital gains tax originally scheduled for implementation in 2027 by two years to 2029 and will consult with the National Assembly to advance related legislation. The South Korean government explained that it plans to start exchanging virtual asset tax information with the United States in 2029, and taxing before this could put the domestic cryptocurrency market at a competitive disadvantage. This delay aims to improve the taxation mechanism for domestic and foreign transactions and enhance tax fairness.Under the current plan, the portion of individual annual cryptocurrency gains exceeding 2.5 million Korean won (approximately $1,869) will be subject to a tax rate of 22%. If the postponement plan is ultimately approved, this will be the fourth delay in implementation since South Korea first pushed for cryptocurrency capital gains taxation in 2020. In addition, the South Korean government also plans to study allowing investors to carry forward losses to offset future gains, proposing a three-year limit; at the same time, it will establish a government-business working group to improve the taxation details for different transaction scenarios and promote the legislation of the digital asset bill. The government plans to submit relevant amendments to the National Assembly during the regular session in 2027.

The French National Assembly has once again postponed the vote on the revenue portion of the 2027 national budget, marking the second delay of this vote. According to the notice of the end of the parliamentary session, Tuesday's agenda includes questioning the government and continuing the debate on the revenue portion of the budget, with 758 amendments still pending review. The vote originally scheduled for October 20 was postponed due to over 2,000 amendments awaiting debate. The Assembly must complete the first reading by midnight on November 17; if the revenue portion is rejected, the government's original budget proposal will be submitted directly to the Senate without the amendments approved by the members.Regarding cryptocurrency taxation, lawmakers rejected two proposals last Friday. The first proposal aimed to include cryptocurrency assets in France's current exit tax system, with a voting result of 27 votes in favor, 55 votes against, and 1 abstention. The second proposal sought to tax unrealized gains on household cryptocurrency assets valued over 800,000 euros (approximately 897,000 USD), applicable to taxpayers who have been French tax residents for at least 6 of the past 10 years, with a voting result of 31 votes in favor and 60 votes against.Other cryptocurrency-related proposals are still pending debate, including a requirement for taxpayers to report self-custodied cryptocurrency assets with a total value of at least 100,000 euros (approximately 112,000 USD) to the tax authorities based on year-end value; and an exemption from related capital gains tax if the total amount of cryptocurrency payments used for goods and services during the tax year does not exceed 1,000 euros (approximately 1,120 USD). The Assembly passed a proposal on October 16 to tax gains when cryptocurrency assets are exchanged for fiat currency-backed stablecoins, but this measure has not yet become law.

Circle has released a developer guide, introducing how token issuers can achieve cross-chain functionality for ERC-20 tokens other than USDC through CCTP. Issuers can deploy new native cross-chain tokens or configure already issued ERC-20 tokens as custom CCTP connections; both methods reuse Circle's messaging and proof infrastructure and adopt a burn-mint model.Issuers can set the owner, operator, pause permissions, rate limits, and per transaction limits themselves, and Circle cannot take over control. According to Circle's developer documentation, CCTP for non-USDC went live in September 2026, supporting EVM chains such as Ethereum, Avalanche, OP Mainnet, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon PoS, and Arc, but not supporting non-EVM chains like Solana.
