The U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has upgraded its conditional approval for Coinbase National Trust to a full national trust bank charter.

Morgan Stanley's Michael Wilson said the S&P 500 correction may be nearing its end, with U.S. stocks likely positioning for a year-end rally. The U.S. benchmark index is approaching its downside target range of 7,100 to 7,300 points and is expected to rebound from this zone, Wilson noted. "Instead of waiting for a perfect bottom, we recommend increasing exposure to high-quality cyclical stocks in the coming weeks, as these stocks have seen their valuations adjust significantly while delivering strong earnings per share performance," Wilson wrote.

Stablecoin payments startup Raycash, spun off from privacy protocol Zama, has launched on the Ethereum mainnet and is currently in private beta. Raycash states that over 75,000 people joined its waitlist ahead of the launch; access will be rolled out in batches during private testing, with full public access to follow. Built on the Zama protocol, Raycash uses fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) to encrypt on-chain balances and transaction amounts. Users can wrap stablecoins 1:1 into tokens compliant with the ERC-7984 confidential token standard for payments and receipts, and earn yields via Morpho, with transaction amounts and balances kept private. The underlying stablecoins can be retrieved via permissionless unwrapping. The app initially supports USDC, allowing deposits via bank transfers, debit cards or stablecoins, and withdrawals to bank accounts. Ethereum gas fees are handled by the platform in the background, so users do not need to hold ETH. Raycash adds that its wallet is non-custodial; confidential tokens have no built-in freeze or seizure functionality at the token level, and users can grant view permissions to specific parties like accountants or auditors. Additionally, a Raycard for privacy-focused spending is in development.

Deutsche Bank and Ant Digital Technologies jointly published the whitepaper *Agentic Payments in Wholesale Finance* on November 9, exploring the application potential of AI Agents in areas including institutional fund management, cross-border payments, and trade finance, along with corresponding governance and risk control frameworks. The whitepaper points out that AI Agents could autonomously predict liquidity gaps, evaluate fund allocation and foreign exchange transaction plans, coordinate cross-border payment routes, process trade finance documents, identify data discrepancies, and generate payment instructions. Such applications are expected to enhance the automation level and operational efficiency of financial institutions’ complex businesses. For risk control, the whitepaper advocates the "Bounded Agentic Execution" model instead of granting AI unlimited autonomy, and proposes a reference architecture consisting of three layers: intent and orchestration, control and authorization, and settlement execution. Core safeguards include clear and revocable permission boundaries, verifiable agent identities, and the Know Your Agent (KYA) verification mechanism. It also lists Ant Digital Technologies’ self-developed agent platform Anvita Flow as a practical application case.
