Disney made offers to all 66 Character AI employees. Fifty-six have already left, while the remaining 10 are still waiting for their work visas to be adjusted.
To retain this group, Disney expects to invest $180 million over the next three years, including salaries, stock incentive

#LatviaPassesCryptoTaxLaw Latvia's new crypto tax law: two mechanisms, one common mistake to avoid
Latvia's parliament passed its crypto tax amendments on October 15, and the headlines make it sound like one simple 10% tax. It is not. The law contains two separate mechanisms that work very differently, plus a third idea that has not become law yet. Here is the clean version.
Mechanism one: the investment account
The amendments permit an investment-account model for crypto-assets, in which tax applies only when withdrawals from the account exceed the amount originally invested, and individual t

#NEARJumpsNearly10% NEAR Protocol Jumps Nearly 10 Percent, Is a Bigger Rally Taking Shape?
The cryptocurrency market continues to create new opportunities for traders, and NEAR Protocol has captured attention with a price surge of nearly 10 percent. This kind of movement can quickly change market sentiment, attract fresh buyers, and put an altcoin back on the radar of investors searching for the next major opportunity.
But there is an important question behind every sudden rally. Is NEAR beginning a stronger upward trend, or is this simply a short term price movement that could lose momentum?

$BTC 观点：
Although Bitcoin has rebounded, this decline is not over because the rebound has not broken above the 82789 resistance. On the hourly chart, the white arrows still show lower highs. The hourly decline can only be considered temporarily over once price breaks above 82789 and the area circled in the large red box makes a higher high.
A break above 82789 would invalidate the structure and allow the rebound to continue toward the 84000 resistance. Until 82789 is broken, don't consider the pullback over. The white arrows below show that support a

Why Wall Street Prefers Cash Over Bitcoin: Michael Saylor Explains
Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy, acknowledged that relying solely on Bitcoin as collateral is not enough to keep Strategy's preferred stock (STRC) trading near its $100 target.
STRC is Strategy's perpetual preferred stock, offering a 12% annual dividend and designed to trade around par value of $100.

Tax reform helps promote the standardization of the crypto market
Latvia’s passage of amendments to its crypto-asset tax law reflects the trend of traditional tax systems proactively adapting to the development of the digital economy. As crypto assets such as Bitcoin gradually become part of investors’ asset allocations, applying traditional transaction-by-transaction taxation may increase investors’ reporting costs and fail to adequately accommodate a market characterized by frequent trading.
The new rules allow eligible crypto-asset investment accounts to use tax deferral: taxes are due when

82510 is the worst kind of in-between level. Your position has only just clawed back 2%, and you already want to force a push? The overhead wall at 84130 hasn’t been cleared yet; every rally just hands money to the shorts😏 The bulls are still crowded in, with 60% holding their positions. The longer they hold, the worse the stampede gets. Don’t wait for the waterfall to start before you run.

U.S. foreign policy is back in the spotlight this week, and Jakarta’s ambition to become a global city is hard to hide. Put simply, how major powers set the tone and how smaller countries find their place are all reflected in these dynamics. Revisiting the shared history between the U.S. and Indonesia is more meaningful than chanting slogans. Liquidity is thinnest in the early morning, when prices are most prone to sudden wicks; the same goes for policy—don’t make a big bet when the news is at its noisiest. So what’s the takeaway? I haven’t figured it out yet either.
