Antigravity is finally available on Claude 5.5, exclusively for paid Pro and Ultra subscriptions; older models will be retired in November.

According to Iranian media reports, Iran is reviewing a new U.S. proposal delivered via Qatar, which lays out a roadmap and timeline for final negotiations. The proposal is based on the Islamabad Framework but seeks to advance nuclear negotiations at an earlier stage. However, Iran continues to insist that the U.S. first fulfill its commitments, including sanctions relief and the release of frozen funds. Iran’s seven key conditions remain unchanged, and progress has been achieved in talks with Oman on a new shipping route through the Strait of Hormuz.

U.S. President Donald Trump has once again pledged that if the Republican Party wins control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate in the midterm elections, he will issue a $5,000 "dividend" to every adult U.S. citizen. The plan, which Trump has proposed before, remains a campaign promise for now. When reporters asked whether the funding would require congressional approval, Trump said: "Well, we don’t think so. If it were necessary, they would certainly do it, but we don’t think it’s needed. However, we have one prerequisite: the funds must be spent domestically in the U.S. — we don’t want the money flowing to other countries. We believe this is a very good measure, widely popular, and will inject strong momentum into the economy." Calculated based on roughly 240 million adult U.S. citizens, the plan is projected to cost around $1.2 trillion, making it one of the largest economic stimulus packages the U.S. has rolled out since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Bitcoin offline key tool EntropyLab has released its self-contained Bitcoin key and wallet calculation tool v1.0.0rc1, the project’s first release candidate. The tool runs entirely from a single HTML file, requires no internet connectivity, and does not generate random entropy on its own—users must supply their own entropy values to compute Bitcoin keys and wallets in a fully offline environment. It supports features including multi-signature, PSBT, BIP-85, Silent Payments, vanity addresses, read-only wallet exports, and nonce analysis. EntropyLab states that this release is reproducible and verifiable via signatures from four independent signers. The team advises users to verify the downloaded file before transferring it to an air-gapped computer for use. The official v1.0.0 version has not yet been released, as the project is currently testing this release candidate.

The yield on the 30-year U.S. Treasury note has risen to its highest level since 2002, driven by record fiscal deficit spending and persistent inflation. U.S. CPI has exceeded the Federal Reserve’s 2% inflation target for 60 consecutive months, the longest stretch since the 1980s. Wealth concentration in the U.S. remains extreme: the net worth of the top 1% of U.S. households totals roughly $60.3 trillion, 14.3 times that of the bottom 50% of households. The purchasing power of the U.S. dollar has fallen by 23% since 2020. The 24-year high in the 30-year U.S. Treasury yield puts direct pressure on Bitcoin, as higher discount rates tend to compress valuations of non-yield-bearing assets. On the flip side, persistent inflation and the dollar’s declining purchasing power could reinforce Bitcoin’s narrative as a hard asset and inflation hedge. The market is currently grappling with two conflicting signals; in the short term, the key question is whether support for BTC from inflation and a weaker dollar, or pressure on risk assets from rising long-dated U.S. Treasury yields, will prevail.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang held approximately 870 million NVIDIA shares as of March 23, 2026, accounting for 3.58% of the company’s total outstanding shares. Valued at NVIDIA’s early-October share price of $231.49, this stake is worth roughly $201 billion. Forbes data shows Huang’s current net worth is around $200 billion, with his personal wealth primarily derived from NVIDIA holdings. Huang is NVIDIA’s largest known individual shareholder. However, under U.S. SEC rules, individual investors holding less than 5% of shares are not required to disclose their stakes, so it is possible that undisclosed individual shareholders hold more than Huang. NVIDIA’s major institutional shareholders holding over 5% of its shares include BlackRock and Vanguard, with stakes of 7.43% and 7.31% respectively. Huang co-founded NVIDIA in 1993. Before NVIDIA’s first stock split in 1999, he held around 2.9 million shares, representing 9.9% of the company. Had he retained all those shares to date, adjusted for stock splits, he would hold nearly 2.8 billion shares, indicating he has since continuously sold off some of his holdings. Additionally, Huang can earn NVIDIA stock through performance awards. NVIDIA paid him a total compensation of $35.5 million in fiscal 2025, consisting of a $1.5 million base salary, a $3 million cash bonus, and approximately $31 million in equity awarded in the form of 936,800 performance stock units (PSUs).

According to a Wall Street Journal (WSJ) report, U.S. equities saw a sharp divergence in September. While the S&P 500 index remained broadly stable and the Nasdaq 100 rose 3%, nearly 80% of stocks in the S&P 500 declined, with an average drop of around 5%. Only two sectors—technology and communication services—out of the 11 major sectors posted gains. In the same period, the Russell 2000 index fell 5%, while the 50 largest-capitalization stocks rose 2%. Stocks that advanced in September were generally linked to AI or data center supply chains. Meanwhile, the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield surged from 4.7% to 5.3%. Non-AI firms face a "triple pressure" from interest rates, energy prices, and competition for staff, equipment and capital from AI companies. UBS Chief Economist Arend Kapteyn said U.S. capital expenditures are "effectively zero" when excluding AI tech firms. As financing costs rise, corporate credit spreads have also widened: spreads on CCC-rated low-grade bonds rose more than 1 percentage point in September, exceeding levels recorded during last year’s U.S. tariff shocks. Additionally, Wall Street’s expectations for corporate earnings growth have cooled. Goldman Sachs Head of Asset Allocation Research Christian Mueller-Glissmann noted that earnings and their forecasts grew rapidly in the first half of this year, but earnings growth momentum has weakened since the summer. The report argues that if Treasury yields and oil prices stay at high levels, sectors outside AI may continue to face pressure, corporate earnings growth will slow, and concerns over credit risk could rise further.
