US SEC’s Corporate Finance Division regards Canton Coin as a digital commodity and does not recommend enforcement action against eligible minting.

57 minutes ago

According to a no-action letter issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Division of Corporation Finance on November 3, the division, based on facts submitted by the applicant, views Canton Coin (CC) as a digital commodity. The division noted that CC derives its value from the programmed operation of the Canton Network and market supply and demand, rather than the expectation of profit dependent on others’ management activities; the network also does not have a "central entity" as defined in relevant guidance. If super validators, validators, and application providers mint CC in accordance with the manner and conditions outlined in the application letter and based on legal counsel’s advice, the division will not recommend the SEC take enforcement action, even if CC is not registered under Section 5 of the Securities Act or Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act. The letter only reflects the staff’s enforcement position under specific facts and does not constitute a legal conclusion on whether CC is a security. Miles Jennings, a partner at a16z, welcomed this stance, stating it could provide a regulatory reference for tokens of other blockchain networks.

OpenAI and Anthropic will establish war rooms for the first time ahead of the U.S. midterm elections to counter misinformation and platform abuse.

,OpenAI 和 Anthropic 将首次为美国中期选举设立专门的「作战室」,以确保各自平台提供准确的选举信息。Anthropic 发言人表示,公司各团队全年都在加强选举相关防护并执行平台政策,选举前设立的专门团队将监测平台滥用情况,并准备快速应对突发事件。科技平台设立选举「作战室」的做法可追溯至 2018 年,当时 Meta 为应对选举不实信息扩散首次设立此类团队。如今,平台还要面对深度伪造视频和 AI 搜索传播错误信息的风险。报道举例称,谷歌 AI Mode 上周没有回答「谁赢得了 2020 年美国总统选举」的问题,谷歌表示正在修复。AI 输出难以预测、近期网络安全问题,以及 AI 搜索工具倾向于迎合用户预期,都会增加监测和响应的难度。Meta 前公共政策主管 Katie Harbath 表示,「作战室」的作用,是在出现难以预料的问题时,能够按既定流程快速评估并分级处置。

Sources: Trump privately predicted the "worst-case scenario" for the midterm elections, where the Democratic Party could take control of both chambers.

White House senior correspondent Kristen Holmes, during the November 2 evening episode of *Erin Burnett OutFront*, cited a White House source as saying that Trump has privately predicted to some allies and advisers the "worst-case scenario" for the midterm elections: Democrats winning majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Holmes noted that Trump has reviewed polls, candidate standings and the overall political landscape, all of which are unfavorable for the Republican Party. He not only made that assessment but also discussed potential consequences if Democrats controlled both chambers, including governance gridlock between the executive and legislative branches, investigations targeting the executive branch, and possible impeachment hearings. That same day, during his final pre-election public speech at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, Trump echoed similar sentiments. He stated: "Somehow, the incumbent president always loses the midterms. But we're giving this a very strong shot." Holmes commented that this sounded almost like a concession made ahead of the results being announced. She also added that despite Trump's private prediction, when she asked a White House official how the president would react if Democrats actually took control of both chambers, the official replied: "Nobody knows—it depends on how he feels at the time." The report is based on anonymous sources; the White House has not yet issued a public response. Election voting concluded on November 3, and preliminary results are being tabulated.

AMD Earnings Call: Q4 Data Center AI Revenue to Surpass Server CPU Revenue for the First Time; Total Revenue Set to Grow Over 80% by 2027

AMD held a conference call following the release of its third-quarter (Q3) 2026 financial results. The company projects that its data center AI business revenue will exceed server CPU business revenue for the first time in Q4 2026, with total data center segment revenue expected to rise around 50% quarter-over-quarter. AMD forecasts total Q4 revenue of approximately $17 billion, up roughly 66% year-over-year. For Q3 2026, AMD’s revenue grew 45% YoY to $13.377 billion, a quarterly record, beating analyst estimates by about 2.3%. Non-GAAP earnings per share jumped 74% YoY to $2.09, exceeding expectations by over 6%. Gross margin stood at 56%, up 190 basis points YoY. Data center revenue surged 97% YoY to $8.5 billion, with its share of total revenue climbing from 47% in the year-ago period to 64%. AMD CEO Lisa Su expects total company revenue to grow over 80% YoY in 2027, with the data center segment accounting for more than 80% of total revenue, and server business revenue projected to double YoY. She noted current demand remains outstripping supply, and the company is collaborating with wafer, substrate, advanced packaging and storage suppliers to expand production capacity. AMD CFO John Hu forecasts 2027 operating expense growth will be less than half the revenue growth rate, leading to a significant improvement in operating margin. Su added that AI agents are emerging as the "next killer application" for cloud CPUs, driving demand for both accelerators and server CPUs. In contrast, the PC market faces pressure from rising memory and other component costs. Su stated AMD’s 2027 planning assumes a double-digit percentage decline in global PC shipments, and the company will focus on enterprise, high-end consumer and desktop channels.

CNN preliminary poll: About one-fifth of former Trump supporters disapprove of his performance.

According to preliminary national results from CNN’s voter poll, U.S. voters are broadly dissatisfied with the state of the nation, economic conditions, and President Donald Trump’s job performance. Roughly three-quarters of voters say they are dissatisfied or worse with the country’s direction, and about 40% even describe themselves as “angry”. The preliminary results identify two key drivers of this discontent: negative views of Trump and frustration with current economic conditions. How these factors will specifically play out remains to be seen—especially in some solidly Republican states where competitive Senate races have unexpectedly emerged. About 60% of U.S. voters nationwide disapprove of Trump’s job performance, with roughly half saying they strongly disapprove. Among voters who supported Trump in 2024, about one in five now disapprove of his performance. The share of voters reporting inflation is causing them hardship is roughly on par with 2024. But this time, many voters are directly blaming Trump. About two-thirds of voters believe he has worsened the U.S. economy, and most attribute rising prices directly to his policies rather than factors beyond his control. Most voters doubt Trump has the right priorities and say he puts personal interests above the nation’s. Despite the president urging his base to vote as he is on the ballot, fewer than one in five voters say their House vote was to support Trump; the rest say they voted against Trump, or that Trump was not a factor in their decision. About three-quarters of voters call economic conditions poor, and roughly 90% say the cost of living is a “key” or major factor in their voting choice.
