According to French crypto media outlet Cryptoast, French banking group Credit Mutuel Arkea has confirmed it was hit by an attack that facilitated fraudulent transactions. The bank stated the incident has been contained, with no customer funds lost, though it did not disclose the exact loss amount. Earlier analysis indicated that fraud losses at Fortuneo, Credit Mutuel Arkea’s online banking subsidiary, could exceed $133 million, with funds laundered via crypto channels.

Morgan Stanley has confirmed it has begun using DTS, the newly launched tokenization service from the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), to tokenize US stocks, ETFs, and US Treasuries on-chain. Other institutions using the service in the same batch include JPMorgan, Citigroup, Bank of America, Fidelity, and Citadel Securities, among others. DTS went live on October 28. DTCC’s subsidiary, the Depository Trust Company (DTC), mints tokenized certificates for held securities under the service, preserving original ownership and investor protection, while enabling conversion between traditional and tokenized forms and transfers to users’ digital wallets. To date, around 20 institutions have signed up for the service, which covers Russell 1000 constituents, major index ETFs, US Treasuries, and other assets. The service is integrated with the Canton network and DTCC’s private Besu network, with plans to expand to additional blockchains by 2027. Amy Oldenburg, head of digital asset strategy at Morgan Stanley, noted that integrating tokenized securities into existing market infrastructure will continue to guide the firm’s digital asset capability development.

Beating AI News Flash: Menlo Ventures Releases 2026 Enterprise AI Report. According to its estimates, as of September this year, the global enterprise AI deployment market’s annualized spending reached $176.8 billion, 5.4 times the $33 billion recorded last year. This growth is driven primarily by increased spending from existing customers. The survey shows the share of paying enterprises rose from 55% to 65%, while average AI spending among surveyed firms has jumped to 4.7 times last year’s level—compared to their original plan of only a 1.9x increase when setting budgets at the start of the year. AI Agents are a key driver of the spending surge. Previously, model calls were mostly initiated manually by employees; now, Agents can execute tasks continuously, call multiple models in parallel, and keep consuming tokens even without human operation. Data from OpenRouter shows Agents now account for 80% of the platform’s token consumption. The gap between model vendors is widening. Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google together hold 69% of enterprise AI deployment spending, up from 50% last year. For large language model (LLM) API spending alone, Anthropic’s share rose from 40% to 55%, OpenAI’s from 27% to 31%, while Google’s dropped from 21% to 9%. In the AI programming tools market, Claude Code and Codex together capture 70% of spending.

Beating AI News Flash: As Anthropic races toward its IPO, it has unveiled a new selling point to investors: using Claude to design AI chips. The company’s in-house chip team, which numbers just 15 people, has already applied Claude to actual engineering design work. Engineers noted that some tasks took less time than their estimates for workflows from traditional chip makers like NVIDIA and AMD. Anthropic first announced its in-house chip development back in August, and is now showcasing Claude’s chip-design capabilities to IPO investors. If Claude can not only support its own chip R&D but also offer design tools to other semiconductor firms, it could tap into a market worth tens of billions of dollars. Currently, the combined annual revenue of chip design software giants Synopsys and Cadence is estimated at roughly $160 billion. This prospect has already moved the market: On November 3, Synopsys and Cadence’s stock prices fell around 4% at one point during trading. Rival OpenAI is also positioning itself in the space: it has used its own models to assist in developing the Jalape?o chip, and signed a multi-year partnership with Synopsys to develop AI models specifically for chip design.

UK fintech firm Revolut has completed a share sale round, lifting its valuation to $115 billion—roughly 53% higher than the $75 billion it held in November 2025, and about 50 times its 2025 pre-tax profit of $2.3 billion.
