According to Sifted, game engine company Unity and NVIDIA's investment arm NVentures have joined the approximately $700 million funding round for UK AI startup Emulate.Emulate was founded in August this year by several former researchers from Google DeepMind and is registered in the UK. The founders include Jack Parker-Holder, Matthew McGill, and others. The company's focus is on "world models," which learn the laws of the physical world from video and interactive data to train agents that can act in real environments.Previously, the Financial Times reported in September that Emulate planned to raise up to $700 million at a valuation of about $3.7 billion; Bloomberg and PYMNTS later stated that its valuation was approaching $4 billion just one month after its establishment. Sifted noted that Unity and NVentures are the latest investors to join, but did not disclose the specific investment amounts from each.

According to Bitcoin.com News, former White House cryptocurrency advisor Patrick Witt stated that President Trump still intends to purchase Bitcoin for the United States' strategic Bitcoin reserve, but public market purchases face serious legal issues. Witt mentioned in the What Bitcoin Did podcast that the president is interested in this, and there have been many discussions related to it. An executive order from March 2025 established the reserve, gathering Bitcoin seized by the government, and instructed the Treasury and Commerce Departments to seek "budget-neutral" acquisition strategies, but no such strategies have been made public, nor has any public market purchase been announced.Witt indicated that due to Congress controlling federal spending, the "legitimacy" of direct public market purchases is in doubt. He also noted that concerns over purchases prompted Congress to include provisions in the National Defense Authorization Act prohibiting such actions, and he is working to push for permission and authorization for it. Witt pointed out that making the reserve permanent is more difficult, as passing a standalone bill in a divided Congress would be extremely challenging, and without legislation, the reserve would rely on executive orders, which future presidents could revoke.

U.S. Republican Senator Kevin Cramer accepted an interview with POLITICO and publicly called for Jensen Huang to resign as CEO of NVIDIA. He believes that Huang's extramarital affair poses a serious potential blackmail risk, especially considering that NVIDIA holds highly sensitive AI chip technology. Cramer stated, "The risk of being blackmailed is just too great; I think he must go."Cramer is a member of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, which is reviewing several bills aimed at strengthening export controls on advanced AI chips. He believes that while it is certainly possible for NVIDIA's board to initiate an internal investigation, it is far from enough. Earlier that day, Larry Kudlow, the former director of the White House National Economic Council during Trump's first term, also publicly urged on Fox Business, "Mr. Huang, resign now." He believes this is a reasonable action for Jensen Huang to take at this time.As the controversy escalates, the U.S. Congress is also accelerating its scrutiny of NVIDIA's chip exports. The three bills under consideration by the Senate Banking Committee involve strengthening export approvals for advanced chips, tracking the destination of chips, and restricting the export of certain semiconductor manufacturing equipment. These bills are vying to be included in the annual National Defense Authorization Act and have not yet been fully passed.

According to The Block, payment company Visa has included the Monad blockchain network in its stablecoin settlement program, allowing participating issuing institutions and acquiring institutions to settle through this network.The Monad Foundation stated that Monad has joined the ranks of blockchains supported by Visa, including Avalanche, Ethereum, Solana, Stellar, Circle's Arc, Base, Canton, Polygon, and Tempo, with the latter five announced as supported in April this year. Compared to traditional card settlements that follow a five-business-day banking schedule, blockchain settlements allow funds to flow on weekends and holidays.Dan Roesbery, Vice President of Global On-Chain Partnerships and GTM at Visa, stated that the goal is to allow partners to flexibly choose the blockchain network that best meets their needs for settlement. The support for Monad expands the options for partners and is another step in building a multi-chain stablecoin payment settlement infrastructure. Visa disclosed that as of September 2026, its stablecoin settlement annualized run rate reached $20 billion, a year-on-year increase of more than 15 times, with over 225 stablecoin-related card projects launched globally.Monad is developing a privacy feature called Private Settlement for institutions, expected to launch in the coming months, which will allow institutions to keep sensitive transaction details confidential while sharing these details with auditors or regulators when necessary. This feature is built directly into Monad, and privacy transactions can use the same liquidity as other transactions on the network without slowing down settlement.Keone Hon, co-founder and General Manager of the Monad Foundation, stated that the next phase will depend on whether institutions can keep sensitive fund flows confidential without leaving the open network. Visa has also explored privacy settlements on Canton, announcing in June a proof of concept with stablecoin issuer Brale to test settlements using its dollar-backed SBC token.

According to a report by the Korean News Agency, Shin Eun-seop, the director of the Electronic Financial Inspection Bureau of the Financial Supervisory Service of Korea, stated at a discussion held at the Financial Investment Education Institute in Yeouido, Seoul, that if stablecoins are used as a means of electronic payment, it is inevitable that the Electronic Financial Transactions Act will apply from the perspective of fairness with existing electronic payment methods, user protection, and payment settlement stability.

According to CoinDesk, the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) stated that it does not support the current version of the draft for the legalization and regulation of crypto assets, calling on lawmakers to continue revising it before the final vote.The NBU supports advancing regulation by referring to the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) and recommendations from the International Monetary Fund, but believes that draft No. 10225-d still does not address its key concerns, and the final text was only delivered on Tuesday night, leaving insufficient time for review and lacking transparency in the legislative process.The NBU warned that foreign tokens not adequately regulated in their place of issuance may enter Ukraine, some of which could function as electronic money, threatening monetary sovereignty and financial stability, and bypassing requirements applicable to domestic similar assets. The NBU hopes to obtain the authority to assess and limit their use when necessary.Regarding market access, the NBU stated that a preliminary compromise had been reached to select three crypto trading platform operators through competition, but the final draft leaves the number of access points for the first five years to the discretion of the securities regulatory authority, raising concerns about monopolies and corruption risks. According to the draft, the National Securities and Stock Market Commission of Ukraine will become the main regulator, with a 5% transitional tax rate applicable to existing crypto assets until the end of 2028, and transactions between crypto assets explicitly exempt from tax.

According to Cointelegraph, the French National Assembly voted down the "revenue" portion of the national budget for 2027 on Wednesday evening, resulting in the removal of three cryptocurrency-related amendments that had previously been included in the bill. These amendments will no longer be part of the version of the bill that will be submitted to the Senate, but there is still a possibility that they could be reintroduced during the Senate review stage in the future.The National Assembly had previously passed three amendments related to cryptocurrency. On October 16, lawmakers passed an amendment that included the profits generated from exchanging cryptocurrencies for stablecoins within the scope of taxation. On Tuesday, lawmakers passed another amendment requiring taxpayers to declare their self-custodied crypto assets; if the total reaches or exceeds 100,000 euros (approximately 112,000 dollars), it must be declared, with the assessment benchmark date being December 31 of the tax year.Additionally, another amendment proposed that if cryptocurrency platforms fail to provide relevant information as required by tax authorities, the amount of fines they face will increase from 10,000 euros to 50,000 euros.
