U.S. households will shift their allocations to stocks only “slightly” from credit as the Federal Reserve begins its expected rate-cutting cycle, Goldman Sachs analysts said in a note to clients. The Fed slashed interest rates by 50 basis points last month to a range of 4.75% to 5.00%, with more cuts expected before the end of the year. “Steady rates near 4% suggest that investors will continue to have more attractive alternatives to stocks, but to a lesser degree than in past years,” Goldman analysts wrote.
QCP Capital published an analysis that BTCs rebound to $65,000 may be related to Mt.Goxs postponement of repayment until October 2025. Although there may be many factors that can explain the current trend, if you look at the historical price trend, this is a rather interesting moment because it is mid-October and there are only three weeks before the US election. If you look back to 2016, BTC has been trading in a very narrow range for more than 3 months. It was not until three weeks before the US election that BTC began to rise from $600 and eventually doubled its price in the first week of January. Similarly, in 2020, BTC was trapped in a boring range for half a year until it began to rebound from $11,000 three weeks before the US election, reaching a high of $42,000 in January.
So far though, October’s performance has been rather disappointing, with BTC up just +1.2% compared to an average gain of +21%.

TD Bank becomes first U.S. bank to plead guilty to money laundering conspiracy, fined $3 billion
Last week, U.S. Attorney General Merrick B. Garland announced in Washington that TD Bank, one of the largest financial institutions in the United States, had pleaded guilty to multiple felony charges, including conspiracy to violate the Bank Secrecy Act and money laundering.
Garland confirmed in a statement that TD Bank agreed to a $1.8 billion criminal fine, which, when combined with the civil enforcement action, brings the total penalty against the bank to about $3 billion. He noted that the resolution includes the largest penalty ever imposed under the Bank Secrecy Act and the first time the Department of Justice has assessed a daily penalty against a bank.
The bank is the largest in U.S. history to admit to violating the Bank Secrecy Act and the first to plead guilty to conspiracy to launder money. The Justice Department highlighted compliance lapses that created an environment for financial crime to flourish.

The U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) says banking giant TD Bank failed to report suspicious activity from an anonymous client group that processed international cryptocurrency transactions.
FinCEN alleges that TD Bank processed more than 2,000 transactions over a nine-month period from a company called “Customer Group C,” which was identified as “purportedly operating in the sales financing and real estate industries.” The group misrepresented their international wire activity to TD Bank, claiming that their annual sales would not exceed $1 million. In reality, they conducted more than $1 billion in transactions through TD Bank.

Crypto trading app Ziglu agrees to acquire Damex stake and seeks financing for more acquisitions
UK crypto trading app Ziglu has agreed to acquire a stake in its Gibraltar rival Damex in an all-stock deal, with the deal expected to be announced during Gibraltar Financial Week.
The move is a key step for Ziglu to expand its services, with the goal of improving its cryptocurrency, investment and banking services. The company is expected to have nearly 200,000 customers after the transaction is completed. Ziglu will use this expanded customer base to launch UK and US stock trading services to its European users, thereby expanding its market share.
The move follows Robinhood’s failed bid to acquire Ziglu last spring. The company initially agreed to buy the app for $170 million in April 2022, but reduced its offer to $72.5 million in August of that year.
Ziglu founder Mark Hipperson returned to the role of chairman and CEO after the failed acquisition, and the company is focusing on securing additional funding to make more acquisitions.

TD Cowen: Senator Hagerty’s draft stablecoin bill may become the outline of the 2025 bill
Investment bank TD Cowen said in a report on Monday that U.S. Senator Bill Hagerty’s draft stablecoin legislation could serve as an outline for a future bill as early as 2025.
Last week, Hagerty, a crypto-friendly Republican, unveiled a draft legislative discussion paper aimed at establishing a regulatory framework for stablecoins. It includes a provision that issuers above a $10 billion threshold could receive an exemption from federal regulators and then continue to be subject to the jurisdiction of their states. The draft legislation also includes maintaining foreign exchange reserves denominated in U.S. dollars on a one-to-one basis.
This draft should form the basis for legislation we expect Congress to pass next year, wrote Jaret Seiberg of TD Cowen Washington Research Group. This is more likely if Trump wins, given Hagertys close relationship with the former president.
Hagerty is reportedly a potential contender for a seat in Trumps cabinet if he wins, either in a national security role or a Treasury Department post. Hagerty is also a member of the Senate Banking Committee, which has jurisdiction over key agencies including the SEC.
“The key will be to reach bipartisan agreement on regulators overseeing stablecoins. If Trump wins, the prospects for such a bill are even higher,” Seiberg noted in the report.

Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas shared the full quote on Bitcoin/digital assets from BlackRock CEO Larry Fink during the third quarter earnings call on X. Fink said that Bitcoin assets are an asset class in their own right, that they are discussing allocations with global institutions, and that these assets remind him of the early days of the mortgage market (currently worth $11 trillion).
On the afternoon of October 14th, local time, at the Future Blockchain Summit held in Dubai, CoinW President Sonia Shaw mentioned in a Fireside Chat speech entitled From Niche to Norm: The Next Mainstream Adoption of Web3 that although decentralized finance is the ultimate goal pursued by everyone, centralized exchanges are still the main force in attracting new users. In the long run, decentralized finance is an inevitable choice for the future, but the current industry still needs regulators and centralized exchanges to explore together, cope with challenges on the road, and pave the way for the popularization and innovation of blockchain technology.
Bloomberg reporter Emily Nicolle wrote on X that crypto custody firm Copper has hired former Goldman Sachs managing director Amar Kuchinad to replace Dmitry Tokarev as the groups CEO, and will focus on attracting more traditional financial clients and expanding aggressively in the United States.

DeFi Report founder: Uniswap Labs and UNI holders may earn $468 million from Unichain every year
Michael Nadeau, founder of DeFi Report, recently wrote that the launch of Unichain will allow the $368 million paid to Ethereum validators last year to fall directly into the hands of Uniswap Labs and even UNI token holders. He added that Uniswap Labs will also be able to capture all MEV on Unchain because it owns all validators on the network.
“MEV is estimated to account for about 10% of total fees paid on Uniswap ($100 million last year). They can also choose to share some of this with token holders,” Nadeau said.
This article is sourced from the internet: Planet Daily | Goldman Sachs: The Federal Reserve may implement more interest rate cuts before the end of the year; Harris proposes a loan plan and supports a crypto regulatory framework (October 15)
Original author: @Web3 Mario (https://x.com/web3_mario) Abstract: There were a lot of big events last week. The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 50 basis points relatively aggressively, and the Bank of Japan remained on hold. This basically indicates that there will be no excessively negative information in the next few weeks. There are already many articles on related analysis, so I will not repeat them here. In this process, as long as you pay attention to two logics, you can grasp the risks relatively easily. One is whether the job market recovers as expected, and the other is the risk of inflation rekindling. In addition, there is a piece of news that attracted the authors attention. Nirvana Finance, a stable project on Solana, announced the restart of V2. This project…
