Musk also said SpaceX had closed $40 billion in debt financing to purchase graphics processing units, or GPUs, used in AI computing. He attributed the company’s access to borrowing to its investment-grade credit rating and revenue from Starlink satellite services and rocket launches. However, Bloomberg reported that discussions over the debt’s pricing remained ongoing as of late Sunday and that the financing had not yet been priced, despite Musk’s statement that the deal had closed.

Pump.fun’s biggest winners may be impossible to copy as $752 million study exposes hidden trading gap
The findings expose a weakness in crypto copy trading, where investors use automated platforms to mirror transactions made by wallets with strong historical returns. These systems typically rely on observable purchases to establish positions. However, wallets receiving tokens through transfers can record substantial profits without executing a market purchase that followers could replicate. The practice also appears to be growing. Bitquery found that transferred-token sales accounted for seven out of every 10 large wallet wins in August, after remaining below 100 cases monthly until July. The shift suggests that traders increasingly relying on wallet leaderboards could encounter apparently profitable addresses…
The $16 million figure is for new investment in Luxor and purchases of existing shares. The company did not say how much each category took, so the entire amount is not fresh cash for expansion. Its AI hardware desk sources graphics processors and servers for customers, and those processors help run demanding AI tasks. Bitcoin mining, on the other hand, generally relies on machines built specifically for mining. A business built around computing power Luxor had started its move into AI before this funding round that was announced. In September, it launched its AI business, using the services it had…
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $635.5 million in net outflows on Thursday, wiping out most of the gains from a three-day run of inflows, followed by a further $137.9 million on Friday, according to SoSoValue. Even so, the funds ended the week up about $301 million, snapping a two-week losing streak, though they remain down about $314 million for October. Tim Sun, senior researcher at HashKey, said the drop was “primarily driven by a broader correction in global risk assets,” with growing skepticism toward AI-related technology stocks a major factor. “Investors are not necessarily questioning the long-term prospects of artificial…
Conventional stock trading also extends beyond the regular session. FINRA describes pre-market, after-hours and overnight sessions, noting thinner liquidity and potentially larger price swings. As of October 25, Interactive Brokers lists an overnight U.S. stock session running from 8 p.m. to 3:50 a.m. ET, with different opening times for sessions starting on days when the NYSE is closed. When a conventional venue is open, its executable quote—not the previous closing price—is the relevant comparison. How a $100 share becomes a $102 purchase and $98 exit A stock’s last trade is a historical price, not an executable offer. The token’s current…
Neo SPCC released Neo Exporter v0.16.0 on Oct. 26, introducing real-time Prometheus metrics for NeoFS network economic parameters alongside network map version tracking, updated stack dependencies, and a breaking change to endpoint configuration. Network economy metrics The headline addition is a set of seven new metrics that expose NeoFS network settings directly to Prometheus monitoring dashboards. Six track economic parameters stored in the Network Map contract: container fee, container alias fee, basic income rate, epoch duration, max object size, and withdraw fee. A seventh metric exports the current network map version, allowing operators to track state changes across epochs. These…

According to CoinShares data, the total value of AI and high-performance computing contracts signed by publicly traded Bitcoin mining companies exceeded $70 billion by the end of March. Miners are trying to diversify their revenue by leasing their electricity connections and physical space to AI companies. However, transforming a Bitcoin mining facility into an AI data center isn’t just about having a strong power connection. Luxor evaluated more than half of its approximately 2 gigawatts of mining capacity where it provides software services. While most of the facilities surveyed had adequate power and fiber connections, it was determined that new…
Myriad: What will the Fed do next? Click to make your prediction. That is memecoin-sized volatility for a fund built around Brazil’s biggest companies, and it leaves EWZ roughly where it started 2026 after a 34% gain through Friday. The dollar rose as much as 12% against the real on Friday, while the Ibovespa, Brazil’s benchmark stock index, fell as much as 17% to about 170,000 points. For a dollar-based investor, those moves at their worst combine to a loss of about 26%, in line with the ETF’s low. B3, the São Paulo exchange, halted trading for 30 minutes after…
