Norway’s sovereign wealth fund already owns bitcoin indirectly, through the companies it holds. @BPINorge wants it to report that openly — and wants Folketrygdfondet to consider investing directly in bitcoin.
The proposals came in a webinar with Kaupr on Saturday, eighteen years after Satoshi’s whitepaper. Secretary general Morten Søberg meets the Ministry of Finance on Monday.

Bitcoin’s whitepaper turned 18 yesterday. Satoshi Nakamoto published it on 31 October 2008, in the middle of the financial crisis, four weeks after the US Congress passed a $700 billion bank bailout.
Nine pages. Bitcoin is today a financial asset worth around $1.55 trillion. From idea to Wall Street in eighteen years.

Det er ikke opplagt at en teknolog kjent for digital transformasjon og AI sitter i styret i et bitcoinpolitisk institutt.
Silvija Seres gjør det, og hun kommer i Kaupr-studio i morgen sammen med generalsekretær Morten Søberg, PhD og flere fra @BPINorge. Samtalen handler om bitcoin, politikk og veien videre — og om El Salvador.
Vi sender lørdag 31. oktober fra klokken 15:00 til 16:30, gratis, på kaupr.io, YouTube og X. Mot slutten trekker vi vinneren av BPIs vervekampanje i en åpen trekning basert på en bitcoin-blokkhash.

Three Binance hot wallets were emptied within minutes late on Thursday. At least $5.57 billion in ether, USDT and USDC — possibly the largest crypto hack so far.

💎 Three hot wallets drained; Tether and Circle have frozen about $2.3B, while 195,000 ETH was already beyond reach
💎 How it worked: a signed EIP-7702 authorisation, one approval out of 50, empty in four minutes
💎 $628 million liquidated as bitcoin fell towards $77,000

“MiCA is the most undervalued subject in Swedish finance circles,” says Ammy Edberg. She launches Bitcoin Suisse in the Nordics next week.
The Zug firm, founded in 2013, holds a MiCA licence from Liechtenstein’s FMA, which covers the whole EEA without national approvals. Edberg calls Sweden a tough market for bitcoin — but says institutions no longer ask whether they should look at it.

Kryptos users can now ask ChatGPT about their own crypto portfolio — value, cost basis and profit, pulled from the wallets and exchanges they have already connected.
“We spent years on the boring work, bringing over 5,500 integrations into one clean overview,” writes founder Sukesh Kumar Tedla on Linkedin. “This is the fun part.”
Read-only: the app cannot move money. A paid ChatGPT plan is required.

Sweden is about to write its guidance on tokenised money — and is asking the market into the room. Finansinspektionen is recruiting a reference group on tokenised money and DLT-based payments, with registration open until 22 November.
The group sets its own direction once work starts: which forms count — bank tokens, e-money tokens or central bank money — depends on the use case.

Tom Lee compares the AI selloff to Cisco’s 1997 drawdown — the one followed by a rally. JPMorgan has the more mechanical version: positioning has already reset.
Hedge funds have unwound long semiconductor bets, and neoclouds are $30B of $1.8T in AI capex. Bitcoin went the other way, under $80,000 ahead of the Fed.
Also in today’s Kaupr Daily:
💎 Latvia targets tokenisation rules for H1 2027, starting with commercial property
💎 Boerse Stuttgart Group is the first European exchange group licensed for DLT trading and settlement
💎 Retail bitcoin deposits to Binance nearly double since April, whale deposits down 36%

The bitcoin white paper was published on 31 October 2008. Eighteen years on, the question is who in Norway is actually listening.
@BPINorge joins the Kaupr studio on bitcoin, politics and what comes next, and we draw the winner of a trip to El Salvador live in the broadcast.
We go live on Saturday 31 October at 14:00 CET, free and in Norwegian.

Latvia’s parliament has rewritten how crypto investments are taxed, and the country now intends to be paid in it. Withdrawals are taxed only above what was paid in.
An adviser to the prime minister says the Finance Ministry has agreed to let residents pay personal taxes in crypto, and expects it next year — without naming a payment provider or which cryptocurrencies would count.

Agents that spend money are getting rules.
The FSB’s final guidance says a human should approve an agent’s riskier actions. American Express built the consumer version: the customer approves an intent — merchant, budget, preferences — the agent pays with a token, and Amex blocks what doesn’t match. Adidas, when you asked for Nike.
Also in today’s Kaupr Daily:
💎 138 million agent payments through Coinbase’s x402, most under 10 cents
💎 SoftBank pays up to 9.75% to borrow for its AI bet

Looking forward!
Five years ago Kaupr launched to cover web3, blockchain, NFTs and the metaverse.
The words have changed since, because the field has. What started as a technology story turned into a money story: money, payments, trade, investing and ownership moving onto open networks, with agents acting inside them. Two drivers, one transformation.
Agents are becoming market participants and investors, not just payers. Compute has turned into an asset class. The personal AI assistant is on its way to being the interface most people meet money through.
So the banner now says what we do: onchain and agentic finance — the future of money, payments, trade and investing. What happens when the systems are open and the participants are agents as well as people?
Next five years: news, insight and events, from the Nordics, in the open.

The IMF says a crash in AI shares could threaten global financial stability. Broadcom’s CEO puts it less diplomatically: many AI investors are casino gamblers.
The largest tech stocks are now over 35% of the S&P 500, against 12% a decade ago. Hock Tan says many of the investors “have no clue what they are investing in” — Asian chip stocks sold off after he said it.

Barron’s, the Wall Street Journal, CNBC and Bloomberg all wrote about tokenised stocks within the same week in October.
What they have caught up with: ownership recorded and moved as tokens on a blockchain rather than through exchange and custodian settlement — markets open around the clock, faster settlement, securities easier to pledge as collateral.
Nasdaq CEO Adena Friedman at Token2049: “If we can tokenise money, we can tokenise the flow of capital.”

A bank in Oslo says stablecoins will not go mainstream. The same week, stablecoins turn up inside SAP, Samsung Wallet and card programmes in a hundred countries.
Episode 13 of Kaupr Weekly is twelve minutes on how that gap closed — tokenised stocks heading for the exchanges, banks choosing between stablecoins and tokenised deposits, and computing power turning into an asset of its own.

Tokenisation made the cover of Barron’s. Fidelity says institutions that have moved onchain have no realistic way back.
