BnkToTheFuture co-founder and CEO Simon Dixon stated in a Bitcoin Magazine video interview that there are only three scenarios that would make him sell all his Bitcoin and buy gold: if Bitcoin can no longer be held in a self-custodial manner and generate returns, if peer-to-peer payments cannot be completed without a governmental intermediary, and if the fixed supply of 21 million coins is no longer credible. He mentioned that Bitcoin has performed well in these three aspects since 2011, and if any of them are called into question, he would sell immediately.Dixon believes that the real battleground is not whether Bitcoin can be adopted, as the trajectory of institutional adoption is unprecedented, but rather whether custodial institutions, Wall Street-controlled mining companies, and treasury companies will lead the network towards centralization. He pointed out that if everyone hands over their private keys to institutions like BlackRock, Bitcoin will fail.He also discussed the phenomenon of central banks continuously buying gold instead of Bitcoin and emphasized that holding private keys is a form of resistance; investors need to allocate assets outside of the traditional banking system.

According to official news from Bitget, the Bitget ecosystem tokenized U.S. stock protocol Reality has reached a strategic cooperation with the DeFi reward infrastructure Merkl. Both parties will use Merkl's reward forwarding function to identify the actual holders of rToken deployed in supported DeFi protocols. Users can still receive dividends in stablecoin form according to the rules, even if they use rToken for lending, liquidity pools, or staking in DeFi scenarios.Pablo Veyrat, CEO and co-founder of Merkl, stated that one major challenge facing DeFi assets is how to identify the actual holders behind each position. Merkl's reward forwarding technology can penetrate multiple layers of nested smart contracts to identify the underlying asset holding relationships, ensuring that dividends are accurately distributed to eligible holders.Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, stated that the value of tokenized stocks should not be limited to trading. Even if users invest rToken into DeFi applications, they should still be able to continue receiving eligible dividends. This cooperation with Merkl will jointly solve this problem, allowing tokenized stocks to play a greater role in everyday financial applications.According to a report from DeFiLlama, the cumulative trading volume of rToken reached $1.16 billion from June to July 2026; in July 2026, the number of users trading both crypto assets and rToken increased by 23.54% month-over-month. This cooperation will further promote the extension of rToken from trading scenarios to the DeFi ecosystem, enriching the on-chain application scenarios of tokenized stocks.

In the early morning of November 4, Apple opened testing for the latest iOS developer Beta version. According to Caixin, users can directly access the text and image understanding, content generation, and other capabilities of Alibaba's artificial intelligence application Qianwen through Siri, writing tools, and visual intelligence. Journalists found that users can complete basic Q&A, image-text analysis, and content generation on their iPhones, and further needs can be redirected to the Qianwen App, with conversation information automatically synchronized.Users can choose whether to enable the Qianwen integration feature. Once activated, they can log in using their Apple ID or their own Qianwen App account, and use Qianwen within Siri, visual intelligence, and writing tools. When journalists inquired about methods to improve sleep, Siri called Qianwen to provide general suggestions; for more personalized plans, users could click the Qianwen icon to jump to the Qianwen App, which analyzes influencing factors based on previous sleep records, exercise conditions, and lifestyle habits to formulate improvement plans.Visual intelligence supports the option "Ask Qianwen" to identify items or scenes in images, for example, first asking Siri about clothing brands, then jumping to the Qianwen App to find the same style on Taobao and place an order. The "Qianwen Creation" feature in the writing tool can generate content based on requirements and adjust tone and length, such as retaining the time and place in an event invitation or compressing it into a brief notification for easy forwarding. Currently, users in China who purchase iPhones that support Apple intelligence, or whose device location and Apple account country and region are both set to China, can experience related features through this developer Beta version.
