Goldman Sachs predicts that global nominal investment in artificial intelligence will rise from $1.1 trillion in 2026 to $1.8 trillion in 2027, primarily driven by an increase of over $500 billion in hardware spending in the United States.

According to PR Newswire, the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) announced plans to integrate its Tokenization Service (DTCC Tokenization Service, DTS) with Solana's Layer 1 network, allowing eligible assets held by DTC to be converted into token form and to gain corresponding token lifecycle functionalities. This integration is expected to go live in the second half of 2027.DTS was officially launched on October 28, and this integration with Solana is an extension of its "multi-chain strategy." DTCC stated that after the integration, DTC tokenized assets will retain the same investor protections, ownership rights, and regulatory safeguards as traditional held securities, while enhancing liquidity, collateral liquidity, and capital efficiency.DTCC President and CEO Frank La Salla stated that this brings regulated DTC tokenized securities to another mainstream blockchain ecosystem; Brian Steele, President of Clearing and Securities Services, emphasized that the service is a "secure, interoperable, and market-neutral" infrastructure; Nadine Chakar, Global Head of Digital Assets at DTCC, mentioned that interoperability is key to the scalability of digital markets; Nick Ducoff, General Manager of Institutional Business at the Solana Foundation, stated that after the integration, tokenized securities can be settled and circulated like other on-chain assets.

AI cloud computing company Nebius announced its third-quarter financial report, with revenue increasing by 571% year-on-year to $981 million, exceeding market expectations by about 8%; adjusted EBITDA reached $466 million, also higher than the expected $357 million. However, the company expects its full-year revenue for 2026 to fall at the lower end of the guidance range of $3 billion to $3.4 billion, below the market expectation of about $3.37 billion.What draws more market attention is that Nebius expects capital expenditures in 2027 to reach $40 billion to $45 billion, while providing a revenue outlook of $12 billion to $13 billion, approximately four times that of 2026. The company stated that customer prepayments and investment-grade contract asset-backed financing are expected to cover 75% to 85% of next year's capital expenditures, with the scale of prepayments expected to increase from about $10 billion this year to $17 billion to $20 billion.The company's CEO stated that since the third quarter, the total value of newly signed contracts has exceeded $12 billion, with Databricks, Datadog, Palantir, and Snowflake all signing multi-year agreements with the company for the first time. Despite significantly exceeding expectations, the full-year revenue guidance fell short of expectations, and the capital expenditure plan of up to $45 billion next year has raised market concerns about AI infrastructure expansion and financing pressures.

Ethlabs published an article on the Ethereum developer community forum, proposing to set 2027 as the target year for Ethereum to achieve post-quantum and post-AI capabilities, referring to this plan as "pqai27." The proposal argues that with the rapid enhancement of AI capabilities, the accelerated development of quantum computing, and the increased ability of AI models to discover software vulnerabilities on a large scale, Ethereum should prioritize strengthening the security of its underlying protocol to prepare for potential future cryptographic risks and cyberattacks.Ethlabs pointed out that the U.S. government has advanced its target date for addressing quantum risks from 2035 to 2030, while Google plans to achieve post-quantum capabilities by 2029. At the same time, AI is solving a large number of long-standing mathematical problems and can also discover software vulnerabilities on a large scale. Ethlabs believes that although there is currently no evidence that existing cryptographic primitives will definitely be broken by AI, the associated risks are difficult to predict accurately, making it necessary to advance security upgrades proactively.In terms of the technical roadmap, Ethlabs divides the goals into two phases: the first is "pqai-ready," which means the Ethereum consensus layer will achieve a post-quantum upgrade, allowing all users to have a path to migrate to post-quantum accounts; if existing cryptography fails prematurely, the network can still operate with reduced processing capacity. The second is "pqai-scaled," which means supporting post-quantum transactions and data availability under full network capacity, aiming for post-quantum transactions to reach the processing scale of ordinary transactions, including post-quantum signature aggregation and post-quantum data availability solutions.To achieve this goal, Ethlabs suggests reassessing the scope of the upcoming hard fork Hegotá, reconsidering upgrades that do not belong to the critical path of pqai27. Among them, Frames and related post-quantum account proposals are still regarded as key components; FOCIL needs to be reassessed for its impact on upgrade progress and post-quantum compatibility. Additionally, Ethereum needs to choose between the post-quantum transformation of the existing Gasper consensus protocol and transitioning to a decoupled consensus. Ethlabs stated that to concentrate resources on advancing pqai27, it will withdraw the Quick Slots feature previously sought for Hegotá and plans to continue promoting this feature in 2028. The Glamsterdam upgrade and its scaling plan will proceed as originally scheduled. This roadmap remains a suggestion proposed by Ethlabs and will require further discussion and determination by Ethereum core developers.

AMD disclosed server processor and die interconnect layout at the In Depth technology forum. Venice uses TSMC's N2 process and CoWoS-L advanced packaging, and introduces elevated fan-out bridge (EFB). The subsequent Verano will adopt the N2P process. AMD's server architecture head Mahesh Subramony stated that as the number of computing cores increases, more data needs to be transmitted between dies, and EFB reduces power consumption and latency through short-distance interconnects. AMD expects the data center CPU market size to grow from approximately $26 billion in 2025 to about $220 billion in 2030, with a compound annual growth rate of over 50%.In terms of packaging collaboration, ASE and SPIL are involved in the development and validation of wafer-level 2.5D bridge interconnects, and AMD has completed panel-level EFB interconnect validation with Powertech. AMD announced in May 2026 that it will invest over $10 billion in the Taiwanese industrial ecosystem to expand strategic cooperation and advanced packaging capabilities. Regarding product progress, the Venice SP7 platform has been shipped, with the SP8 aimed at the enterprise market expected to be supplied in the first half of 2027, and Verano and Venice-X scheduled for release in the second half of the same year, with related server processor products targeted for mass production in 2027.

Bloomberg cited informed sources reporting that as the longest-serving policymaker at the Federal Reserve approaches retirement, discussions are underway within the Fed regarding the term limit rules for regional Fed presidents. The focus is on whether John Williams, the president of the New York Fed, can serve until June 2028, which would mark his 10-year tenure as president of the New York Fed, or if he must step down when he turns 65 in June 2027.According to relevant rules, regional Fed presidents are typically required to retire at 65; however, those who are first appointed after the age of 55 may serve for up to 10 years or until they reach 75, whichever comes first, as determined by the regional Fed board. One point of contention is whether the years Williams served as president of the San Francisco Fed from 2011 to 2018 count toward this 10-year limit. Williams himself and several observers have previously interpreted the rules as allowing him to serve until June 2028. He told Bloomberg last month that he plans to serve until that time and described it as a commitment to the New York Fed board and his family.If Williams steps down in 2027, Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh would have the opportunity to influence the appointment of this important regional Fed leader a year earlier. Informed sources say it is currently unclear whether Warsh or other board officials support ending his term early; if there is a push for him to leave prematurely, it could provoke opposition from other regional Fed presidents, who may be concerned about further Washington intervention in regional Fed operations. A spokesperson for the Federal Reserve Board and Pat Wang, chair of the New York Fed board, both declined to comment. The New York Fed board has not yet officially announced the initiation of the succession selection process, which typically takes several months.

Mark Moss, co-founder of Bitcoin Opportunity Fund, stated in the Cointelegraph podcast Trade Secrets that Wall Street's and the U.S. government's acceptance of Bitcoin has created "the best buying opportunity in history." Moss first bought Bitcoin in 2015 at around $300, when the risks were extremely high, and now there is consensus from the U.S. government and Wall Street, but most people still view it as a scam. This skepticism is precisely the source of the buying opportunity. He believes Bitcoin is crossing the "chasm" between early adopters and mainstream investors, with banks and ETFs lowering the barriers to entry, and financial advisors may also persuade hesitant clients to enter the market.In terms of market conditions, Bitcoin briefly surged above $80,000 after the U.S. midterm elections, then retraced its gains alongside tech stocks, dropping to $74,762 on Friday, the lowest since August, and further dipping to around $73,500 on Sunday. Moss pointed out that the price did not significantly drop after the $6.3 billion Binance hack, indicating that selling pressure is waning. The capital flow for U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs fluctuated sharply during election week, with a net inflow of about $75 million on Wednesday and a net outflow of $430 million on Thursday. He cited data going back to 2014, stating that Bitcoin averaged a 53% increase in the 12 months following previous U.S. midterm elections, and he expects it to reach an all-time high by 2027.Moss believes the most worthwhile Bitcoin treasury company to hold is MicroStrategy (MSTR), which has been buying Bitcoin since 2020 and held 849,327 BTC as of November 2, accounting for over 4% of Bitcoin's maximum supply. However, he stated that he would not exchange his held Bitcoin for its stock. According to his model, under the conditions where Bitcoin competes for investor wealth against stocks, bonds, gold, and real estate, the price is expected to reach $1 million, potentially by 2030, or at the latest by 2032.

According to a report by Sina Technology citing foreign media, Alibaba's semiconductor subsidiary Tmall Genie plans to go public in Hong Kong in 2027, aiming to raise at least 2 to 3 billion USD (approximately 15.6 to 23.4 billion HKD). As of the time of publication, Alibaba has not responded officially.Tmall Genie was established in 2018, formed by the integration of Zhongtian Micro Systems acquired by Alibaba and the chip team from DAMO Academy. Its product line includes Xuantie processors, Yitian server chips, Hanguang AI chips, and PPU chips, among others. Alibaba CEO Wu Yongming previously disclosed in a financial report conference call that Tmall Genie has achieved commercialization, with chip shipments exceeding 470,000 units and annual revenue surpassing the 10 billion level.

Samsung Electronics plans to complete the development of advanced packaging technology 3D Cube-H by early 2027 and finish the first design kit, followed by evaluations with potential customers. This technology achieves vertical stacking of chips based on hybrid bonding, primarily targeting high-performance AI semiconductors, which can be used to stack logic chips such as GPUs or integrate logic chips on memory chips like HBM.Samsung Electronics has previously developed 3D Cube-T using thermocompression bonding technology and is currently advancing 3D Cube-H with a terminal pitch of about 6 micrometers, while the minimum terminal pitch for thermocompression bonded chips is about 25 micrometers. Hybrid bonding connects copper materials directly between chips, allowing for reduced terminal pitch, increased connection density, and lower energy consumption per bit, with thermal characteristics that differ from thermocompression bonding solutions.

According to reports from the Financial Associated Press, the Japanese AI company Sakana AI is preparing for an initial public offering (IPO), which could take place as early as the fall of 2027 in Japan or the United States.

Polkadot ecosystem DeFi network Acala stated that after seven years of development, Acala and its sister network Karura located in Kusama are entering the final phase. Under the premise that Acala's referendum No. 195 and Karura's referendum No. 137 are passed, both networks will cease operations on February 10, 2027. After this date, Acala and Karura will no longer produce new blocks.Users need to withdraw DOT, KSM, and assets bridged from other chains, such as USDT and USDC, from Acala and Karura before February 10, 2027. LDOT unbonding requires 28 days and must be initiated before January 12, 2027; if LDOT is locked with a validator, an additional 28 days is needed for unlocking, which must be completed before December 16, 2026. LKSM unbonding requires 7 days and must be initiated before February 2, 2027.ACA and KAR are the native tokens of the two networks and cannot be withdrawn; they will remain on their respective chains. For external assets that have not been withdrawn before the deadline, the team will return them as much as possible; as a last resort, recoverable assets can be returned to the same account's address on the Polkadot or Kusama Asset Hub, but not all assets can be returned in this way. Acala was founded by Bryan, Ruitao, and Bette, who initially developed the synthetic assets and margin trading project Laminar, and later, at the invitation of the Web3 Foundation, built the Polkadot ecosystem stablecoin, evolving into Acala.

According to Caixin, Chen Zhongyue, Chairman of China Mobile, stated on November 6 at the 2026 Mobile Network Conference that the largest incremental investment for China Mobile in 2026 will be in computing power. This year, three gigawatt-level computing parks will be newly constructed, expected to deliver 1.5 gigawatts of capacity, and next year, two more will be built, bringing the total to seven gigawatt-level data parks.Chen Zhongyue mentioned that China Mobile has established multiple ten-thousand-card intelligent computing clusters, and in the next two years, computing capacity will double continuously; by 2027, the total procurement amount is planned to be increased to over 500 billion yuan, with more than 100 billion yuan invested in computing power. In addition, China Mobile has currently set up six data centers overseas.

According to Crypto Briefing, Utkarsh Ahuja, founder and managing partner of Moon Pursuit Capital, stated that the rebound of Bitcoin after the U.S. midterm elections remains a fragile relief rally rather than a confirmed recovery. He pointed out that the rise on Wednesday reflects relief buying and short covering after the elections eliminated some political uncertainty, but selling pressure returned on Thursday, quickly reversing the recovery. Bitcoin briefly reclaimed $80,000 on Wednesday, then fell to around $75,000 on Thursday.Ahuja believes that the market may have digested part of the probability of a Democratic victory, and continued weakness in November would not be surprising. He maintains a constructive outlook for the long-term, suggesting that if liquidity improves and institutional demand continues to return, Bitcoin could rise to the range of $120,000 to $150,000 by the end of 2027. He stated that to confirm a sustained recovery, it is necessary to observe spot buying, inflows into Bitcoin ETFs, and whether Bitcoin can reclaim lost ground and hold during pullbacks. He also mentioned that Democratic control of Congress could delay or reshape legislation such as the Clarity Act, but global liquidity, interest rates, and institutional demand are more important for Bitcoin's long-term trend.
