According to "Wired," two informed sources revealed that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang began working with crisis management firm Heller as early as October 2025, more than a year before he publicly acknowledged his extramarital affair on November 8. The firm's founder, Risa Heller, specializes in helping celebrities embroiled in public relations crises manage scandals, particularly adept at handling allegations of sexual misconduct. She has provided public relations services for former U.S. Congress members, well-known chefs, and writers involved in sexual scandals, as well as managing regular corporate public relations.The sources indicated that Heller was initially primarily seen as handling Jensen Huang's personal matters, including family charitable activities, and her team frequently communicated with Huang and his daughter Madison Huang. Madison currently serves as Nvidia's Director of Product Marketing. On October 9, 2025, The New York Times investigated Nvidia's business dealings with Singapore-based data center company Megaspeed and disclosed that Jensen Huang had a close relationship with the company's executive Huang Le, which made Nvidia's senior management very nervous, and Jensen Huang himself was unhappy with the report.By the end of that month, Nvidia's internal public relations team received instructions that from then on, any media inquiries regarding Jensen Huang, whether related to his personal life or company business, must involve Heller in the communication. More than a year later, Jensen Huang publicly admitted to being unfaithful to his wife, and Nvidia's board initiated an independent investigation. "Wired" has not confirmed whether Heller was initially hired to handle this extramarital affair. In response to reporters' inquiries, Heller referred the questions to Nvidia, which did not respond immediately.

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost pointed out that, calculated over a 90-day rolling window, the cumulative Z-score of the correlation between Bitcoin returns and S&P 500 returns has risen above zero for the first time since 2015, reaching 98.5. A score above 0 indicates that the correlation of Bitcoin is higher than usual, while a score below 0 indicates lower correlation. The cumulative Z-score summarizes deviations to present trends. Darkfost noted that this trend has been clearly upward since the low point, and this breakthrough is symbolic, as Bitcoin is increasingly moving in tandem with the stock market.Darkfost also pointed out that the recent momentum of this correlation is slowing down. The rate of change in the short-term 90-day correlation has fallen from recent highs to 6.3%. The correlation between the two remains above average, but it is no longer strengthening as rapidly as before. He believes this is mainly due to market maturation, as more financial professionals are increasingly using Bitcoin as a conventional financial tool with the improvement of ETFs and trading channels.

According to official news from Bitget, the platform announced the launch of the Open Custody Network (OCN). With the core concept of "Assets in Bank, Tradings on Bitget," it aims to connect banks, custody companies, and other professional financial institutions with Bitget's trading infrastructure. This network integrates core capabilities such as independent asset custody, bank and institutional-level security guarantees, integrated trading services from exchanges, and capital efficiency, breaking the traditional model of centralized exchanges that concentrate asset custody and trading on the same platform.OCN utilizes an asset mapping mechanism to open up the channels between independent asset custody and trading services, allowing all eligible users to participate in Bitget's spot, leveraged, and contract trading while retaining independent custody rights over their assets. This provides access to exchange-level liquidity and integrated trading services, further lowering the barriers to trading participation and enabling more users to access financial services in a more equitable manner.Bitget CEO Gracy Chen stated that OCN aims to break the traditional model where users must custody their assets with an exchange to use its trading services, allowing users to enjoy high-quality liquidity and efficient capital utilization while independently choosing their asset custody methods, making financial services more open and inclusive.

Binance co-founder He Yi responded to rumors stating that she does indeed know Wan Hui, co-founder of the crypto venture capital firm Primitive Ventures, but there is no so-called situation of a close friend accompanying childbirth. She stated that even her own mother could not push a project to go live on Binance solely based on personal relationships; if a project succeeds solely due to personal connections, it indicates that Binance's own review capabilities are insufficient.He Yi also mentioned that there have been very few good projects in the cryptocurrency industry in recent years, with BNB being one of them, deserving of the trust of those who believe in Binance, but investment trading does not guarantee profits without losses. The era of 2017, where everything bought would rise, was a time of dividends, and very few remain now. The 2019 IEO was an exception because DEX had not developed at that time, and Binance had bargaining power; after DEX developed, Western VCs raised the prices of VC tokens.She further stated that Binance has never actively adopted unscrupulous methods to compete for market share in the past few years, and has always taken a straightforward defensive strategy in the face of competition. If anyone thinks they have not done well, they are welcome to criticize directly. Regarding IEOs, she said that at that time, market liquidity was concentrated on Binance, and the platform had a strong market dominance, which is why the issuance prices of new projects were generally low, giving participants the opportunity to gain profits.

Binance co-founder He Yi published a response to the rumor that "a Binance DevOps engineer had developed a romantic relationship with a North Korean agent and left their laptop unattended on the day of the attack," stating, "This story is more dramatic, but it is not true."

Fidelity Digital Assets recently released an analysis stating that the yield on the U.S. 10-year Treasury bond has recently risen to its highest level since the birth of Bitcoin, while the scale of U.S. federal debt has surpassed $40 trillion, with interest expenditures exceeding Medicare, becoming the second-largest expenditure item in the federal budget.Fidelity pointed out that the correlation between Bitcoin and the U.S. 10-year real interest rate has been low for a long time in the past, but has gradually turned positive in recent years, with the correlation rising above 0.6 in 2026, reaching a historic high. Over the past two months, Bitcoin has risen nearly 30%, while the yield on the U.S. 10-year Treasury bond has increased by more than 10% during the same period.Fidelity believes that as government debt rises, financing costs increase, and concerns over fiscal intervention intensify, Bitcoin's fixed supply limit of 21 million coins may enhance its appeal as a potential hedge against currency depreciation and a portfolio diversification tool. If the current trends in debt and interest rates continue, government interest expenditures may even become the largest expenditure item in the federal budget in the future.Data from the U.S. Treasury Department shows that the federal budget deficit for fiscal year 2026 has risen to $1.99 trillion, up from $1.78 trillion in fiscal year 2025, marking the highest level since the pandemic. Despite the Trump administration's commitment to cut spending, military expenditures, Social Security spending, and interest on national debt continue to rise, coupled with a decline in corporate tax revenue, further widening the fiscal deficit.

According to Bitcoin Magazine, Amy Oldenburg, head of Morgan Stanley's digital asset-related business, stated in a video interview with Bitcoin Magazine that the investment logic of Bitcoin as "digital gold" is "quite sound." However, she hopes to see Bitcoin's trading performance align more closely with gold, rather than being highly correlated with technology-related risk assets. She mentioned that factors such as the correlation between Bitcoin and gold, demand for stablecoins, concerns about quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and inflation are all influencing the market's demand for Bitcoin.She also stated that she would not define Bitcoin's prospects based on a single day's market performance or a specific inflation data point. The interview also covered topics such as the application of stablecoins and USDT on the Bitcoin network, the client composition of Morgan Stanley's spot Bitcoin ETF, the pathways for clients to transfer self-held Bitcoin into ETF shares, and borrowing against Bitcoin ETFs and spot Bitcoin as collateral.In addition, Oldenburg introduced how Morgan Stanley assesses quantum risks and discussed how asset tokenization could change various asset classes, as well as the role of Morgan Stanley's Digital Asset Lab and AI agents in the future "agent economy."

CoinShares pointed out in its latest biweekly market report that last week, the net outflow of the U.S. spot BTC ETF was $679 million, with a single-day net outflow of $485 million on Wednesday, setting a record for the largest single-day outflow since June; the ETH ETF saw a net outflow of $542 million last week, accumulating nearly $700 million in outflows over nine consecutive trading days.BTC approached $87,000 on October 5, then fell back to about $80,300, and subsequently rebounded to around $83,500. The report shows that the correlation between BTC and the Nasdaq index has risen back to about 40% of the long-term average, while the correlation with inflation-linked bonds continues to strengthen.CoinShares believes that the U.S. CPI data to be released this week will be an important variable: if the core CPI rises by 0.3% month-on-month, it may strengthen market expectations for a rate hike by the Federal Reserve in October, putting BTC at risk of testing $80,000 again.
