The lending protocol Lido Lend proposed by contributors will launch a withdrawal mechanism called Fallback Exits. When the market lacks sufficient liquidity of loan assets, lenders can utilize the collateral of borrowers to supplement withdrawal requests, and the corresponding debt of the relevant borrowers will be reduced. The protocol was launched on October 7 as a modified fork of Morpho Blue, built around isolated markets.According to the proposal, the collateral of borrowers will be passively utilized in order of the highest position risk, meaning positions closest to the liquidation loan-to-value ratio (LLTV) will be prioritized, while borrowers with very healthy positions are less likely to be affected. Taking the ETH/wstETH market as an example, lenders provide ETH, and borrowers stake wstETH to borrow ETH; if exiting through collateral, lenders will first be exposed to the staked tokens before receiving ETH. The proposal does not specify the qualification thresholds for healthy loans or the path for lenders to obtain ETH.Contributor Izzy stated in a post on October 16 that technical specifications and market parameters will be announced in the next two weeks, and the governance process and public audit must be completed before the mainnet launch. Details such as settlement valuation, debt offset formulas, fees, and limits have yet to be determined.

According to CoinDesk, Shinhan Card, a subsidiary of South Korea's Shinhan Financial Group, is collaborating with a subsidiary of Japan's SBI Holdings to explore the payment applications of a yen stablecoin between the two countries. Participants include the cryptocurrency exchange SBI VC Trade and the trade finance blockchain company SBI XDC Network APAC.The collaboration will study scenarios such as card-linked merchant payments for Japanese tourists visiting South Korea, wallet-to-wallet transfers, and cross-border trade settlements, and will include suspicious transaction monitoring and anti-money laundering compliance systems. Shinhan Card serves approximately 20 million cardholders and stated that it will connect this project with Shinhan Financial's broader digital asset strategy, which includes an agreement reached in August with Visa to explore stablecoin issuance, transfers, and card settlements.Currently, the project is still in its early stages, and the parties have not disclosed the types of stablecoins to be tested, nor have they set a timeline for testing or commercial rollout. SBI has previously issued the yen stablecoin JPYSC, launched by SBI Shinsei Trust Bank and introduced in collaboration with Startale Group, which had a circulation of approximately 20.1 billion yen (about 127 million USD) as of September 7. JPYSC is currently only available for use in SBI VC Trade accounts and cannot be transferred to external wallets. Its circulation on the public chain depends on legal and tax clarity and regulatory approval, and the parties have not indicated whether JPYSC will be included in this test.

According to CoinDesk, data shows that the share of Bitcoin options in the cryptocurrency derivatives market continues to rise. The Bitcoin Volatility Index BVIV issuer Volmex stated that last week, the open interest of Bitcoin options accounted for slightly less than 60% of all Bitcoin derivatives open interest, up from about 50% at the beginning of the year, reflecting a market shift from purely betting on price direction to a greater focus on risk management.As of last Friday, the total open interest in the Bitcoin derivatives market was approximately $129 billion, of which U.S. Bitcoin ETF-related options accounted for about $36 billion, and BlackRock's IBIT options accounted for about $35 billion. Including options on native crypto platforms, the Bitcoin options market size is approximately $76 billion. ETF options currently account for about 47% of the Bitcoin options market, while the open interest of IBIT options has increased from about $11 billion in January 2025 to nearly $35 billion now.

BitGo announced the establishment of a new research and innovation department, BitGo Labs, aimed at designing, launching, and validating the next breakthrough applications in the digital asset space. BitGo stated that this department focuses on use cases that can only be achieved through cryptographic technology, such as interest rates and yields that traditional systems cannot provide, and utilizes AI to complete builds in months rather than years.Initially, BitGo Labs will focus on the intersection of AI and cryptocurrency. BitGo pointed out that the AI economy still requires cryptographic financial infrastructure to handle micropayments, achieve instant settlements, and ensure asset security. At the launch of the department, several related projects were introduced, including the consumer application Gokubu, which uses AI-driven card optimization for user spending and is now live, allowing users to be assigned personalized AI financial assistants to help them obtain better rewards and transaction value.BitGo stated that in addition to the initial projects, BitGo Labs will also release research reports, protocol prototypes, and reference implementations, and collaborate with developers, scholars, and institutions in the cryptocurrency and AI communities. BitGo CEO Mike Belshe previously stated in an interview that AI agents are likely to use stablecoins as their native currency, and human control over AI will last longer than some predict. This statement responded to Maelstrom Chief Investment Officer Arthur Hayes' view that digital currencies like stablecoins cannot serve as the native currency for AI agents because they cannot be directly converted into computing power.

The core feature of the NU7 upgrade is to reduce the time interval between Zcash blocks from 75 seconds to 25 seconds. This change means that the time required to wait for three transaction confirmations will be shortened from nearly four minutes to about 75 seconds. This upgrade has been running on Zcash's test network and is awaiting final integration into the node software.In addition to improving speed, NU7 will also bring two important adjustments: first, 60% of the fees collected from each block will be removed from circulation, and these tokens will begin to be returned to miners around February 2031. Second, Zcash's original Sprout privacy system will be completely shut down, so all funds still held in that system must be transferred out before the upgrade is activated; otherwise, they will become unusable.

According to AASTOCKS, the Hong Kong police stated on the social media platform Guardian that they received over 50 reports of investment fraud in the past week, involving losses exceeding 30 million Hong Kong dollars. One retired woman in her sixties met a man claiming to be interested in renting a house through a property trading platform, who recommended cryptocurrency investment as an investment expert.The man sent her links to fake investment websites and induced her to invest funds with promises of returns. Following his instructions, the woman went to a physical cryptocurrency exchange store 20 times to purchase USDT, which she then transferred to a designated wallet, ostensibly for investing in ETH. Initially, she was able to withdraw some funds successfully, but then continued to invest more. When she attempted to withdraw again, the man demanded payment of USDT worth approximately 7 million Hong Kong dollars as tax, at which point she realized she had been scammed, ultimately losing over 4.5 million Hong Kong dollars.

According to Caixin, Liu Jun, President of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, stated at the first Digital Renminbi Annual Conference held during the 2026 Financial Street Forum Annual Meeting that while digital technology promotes the development of the digital economy, it also brings changes to the currency trust mechanism. Data, algorithms, and programmability are beginning to participate in the generation and transmission of credit, with trust shifting from being supported by institutional singular points to being jointly supported by institutions and technology. However, technology can only reinforce trust, not replace it.Liu Jun mentioned that whether digital currency can become a currency is not primarily about the algorithm design itself, but rather about how credit is supported and fulfilled, and how responsibility is implemented. He pointed out that currency is transitioning from physical forms to data, moving from multi-step clearing reliant on accounts and intermediaries to synchronous payment and settlement. The way currency is realized is changing, but its attributes remain the same, still fulfilling the three functions of a medium of exchange, a store of value, and a unit of account.
