🚨 NEW: Musk confirms Tesla $TSLA and SpaceX $SPCX are exploring a merger. Both boards formed special committees of independent directors, with Musk recused as a "conflicted party." Any deal needs approval from 50% of all Tesla shares. $SPCX is up nearly 7% after hours. Combining EVs, rockets, satellites, and AI compute would be one of the largest corporate deals ever, and a big bet on Musk's superintelligence thesis.

🚨 JUST IN: 🌎 Meta $META global affairs chief Joel Kaplan will leave in 2027 after 15 years. Kaplan, a longtime Republican strategist, has been a key political adviser to Zuckerberg. President Dina Powell McCormick will take on additional external affairs duties. The shake-up comes as Meta faces growing political scrutiny and regulatory pressure.

🚨 UPDATE: Musk says SpaceX $SPCX expects ARR to hit $500B to $1T by end of 2027, with 10 GW of computing capacity online that year. Q3 revenue was $14.575B, up 161.39% YoY. GrokBot rolls out to enterprises within weeks, and Starship's 15th flight next month will try to recover both booster and ship for the first time. The ARR target is a huge leap from today, and the compute push ties SpaceX into the AI infrastructure race.

🚨 JUST IN: Fidelity Digital says Bitcoin now has two new, transparent investment demand channels: ETFs and perpetual preferred stocks. Spot ETFs gave investors easy exposure to $BTC. Perpetual preferreds add a fixed-income-style route, letting corporate treasuries and income-focused investors get exposure through public markets. More regulated, trackable ways to access Bitcoin can widen the buyer base and support steadier demand over time.

JUST IN: Trump Accounts investor and Altimeter Capital CEO Brad Gerstner says he's pushing to make these accounts available to anyone under 40.

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump says the U.S. is suffering from a "horrible plague" of rampant fraud. Rhetoric like this often comes before policy: tougher enforcement, tighter financial oversight, or new compliance rules. Crypto sits close to that conversation, since exchanges, stablecoins, and payment platforms are often the focus of anti-fraud and anti-money-laundering efforts.

🚨 UPDATE: Nasdaq stays under pressure as rising inflation, growth worries, and widening credit spreads weigh on markets. Wider credit spreads mean investors are demanding more to hold riskier debt, a sign of growing caution. Crypto often trades with tech stocks in risk-off moves, so continued Nasdaq weakness could spill into $BTC and altcoins.

🚨 JUST IN: 🇬🇧 Google $GOOGL has restored its UK Cloud services following a power-related outage that disrupted banks and websites.

A major move from long-term holders, but the transfer alone doesn’t confirm they’re preparing to sell.

🚨 UPDATE: 🇬🇧 A power outage at a Google $GOOGL Cloud data centre in London triggered widespread service disruptions. ∙ Revolut, HSBC $HSBC and Lloyds reported banking issues. ∙ Royal Mail and other UK services were also affected. ∙ Google said most services had recovered by the afternoon. The incident highlights the risks of relying on a handful of cloud providers to run critical digital services.

🚨 🇰🇿 Kazakhstan's AIFC Court has barred Coinbase, HTX, BingX, BitMart, Bitcoin.com, and WEEX from offering unlicensed crypto services, and ordered app store restrictions. Going after app store access is a sign regulators are moving beyond warnings to cutting off distribution. It adds pressure on offshore exchanges to get licensed or lose users in the region.

🚨 UPDATE: Mastercard opens early access to Agent Pay for Machines, its payment system for AI agents. Developers get buyer and seller APIs plus a sandbox. Pilots with Cloudflare, Coinbase, Base, BVNK and others are done, including an agent paying via Coinbase's x402 on Base.

🚨 UPDATE: US spot $BTC ETFs saw $526.6M in net inflows on Monday, the biggest daily haul since Sept. 22. BlackRock's $IBIT pulled in $665.2M, more than offsetting outflows from Fidelity's $FBTC and Grayscale's $GBTC. Strong demand is concentrating in IBIT while other funds bleed, which suggests institutional money is picking a favorite.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 The Fed is set to inject up to $1.827B into the economy today. Liquidity injections can support risk assets like $BTC, but this one is small relative to the market, so the impact may be limited.

🚨 JUST IN: 🇸🇦🇾🇪 Saudi Arabia intercepts a Houthi ballistic missile launched at Riyadh. It comes after reports of a Saudi strike on a Houthi oil facility. Further escalation in the Gulf can lift oil prices and rattle risk assets. Watch oil and Saudi retaliation.
