| 2 | Anthropic vs OpenAI: The Race Before the IPOs
Anthropic is heading for a mid-November IPO, and OpenAI is rushing to raise $30B at a $1.4T+ valuation before it lists. Here’s where they stand:
• Valuation: $965B vs $852B (latest private rounds)
• Revenue run-rate: $65B+ vs ~$50B
Anthropic grew from a ~$1B run-rate to $65B+ in 18 months, driven by business and coding customers. In Q2 2026 it out-earned OpenAI for the first time: $11.6B vs $6.7B.
OpenAI still dominates with consumers, although the two count partner revenue differently, so the figures aren’t fully like-for-like.

| 3 | The $1 Trillion GDP Club
The IMF’s latest World Economic Outlook shows which economies are worth more than $1 trillion in 2026. The top 5:
• USA: $32.64T, in the club since 1969
• China: $21.55T, since 1998
• Germany: $5.47T, since 1986
• Japan: $4.34T, since 1978
• UK: $4.27T, since 1990
The US and China alone make up more than half of the club’s combined GDP. The US is now bigger than China, Germany and Japan combined, while China is ~21x larger than when it first crossed $1T in 1998.
The club keeps growing: Switzerland and Poland joined in 2025, and Taiwan is set to cross $1T in 2026 as AI demand boosts its chip exports.

| 4 | Top Perpetual DEXs by Open Interest
About $15.8B in open interest sits across the top ten perp DEXs, and nearly half of it is on one venue:
• Hyperliquid – $7.50B
• tradeXYZ – $3.85B
• Aster – $1.32B
• Variational – $997M
• Lighter – $742M
• Grvt – $442M
• Antarctic – $329M
• GMX – $255M
• edgeX – $181M
• SoDEX – $150M
tradeXYZ runs on Hyperliquid via HIP-3, so together they hold ~72% of top-10 OI. Its OI equals 7% of 30-day volume, twice Hyperliquid's rate: traders hold stock and commodity positions instead of flipping them.
Hyperliquid made $82.0M in fees over 30 days, ~3x the rest combined, earning ~3.9 bps per dollar traded vs ~1 bp at Aster, Lighter and edgeX. Variational is second by volume at $82.0B but fourth by OI, a sign of high-turnover trading.

| 5 | Highest-Paid Football Players in 2026
• Cristiano Ronaldo – $300M
• Lionel Messi – $145M
• Kylian Mbappé – $100M
• Erling Haaland – $85M
• Vinícius Júnior – $76M
• Lamine Yamal – $55M
• Sadio Mané – $54M
• Jude Bellingham – $45M
• Harry Kane – $42M
• Mohamed Salah – $40M
Ronaldo at 41 makes 2x Messi and $55M more than Messi and Mbappé combined. The two oldest players on the list take $445M, 47% of the total.
Al-Nassr pays the most: Ronaldo and Mané bring the club $354M, 38% of the top ten. Real Madrid has three names – Mbappé, Vinícius and Bellingham – at $221M together. Yamal is the youngest at 19 and already out-earns Mané, Kane and Salah.

| 6 | Papertrade Rewrites the Airdrop Rules After Farmers Burned Millions
Papertrade is an exchange where traders bet against the protocol’s bankroll at Hyperliquid prices. Its PAPER token works as a rakeback for losing traders. Just 10 days after launch, the team changed the rules, and farmers are taking the hit:
• No transfers: $PAPER stays locked to the protocol, so there will be no listings or perps and no way to sell for now
• New fees: higher fees on trades closed within 0.06% of entry (0.1% off-hours), which hit farming bots ~15x harder than normal traders
• New minting: every $1M lost by traders mints ~0.1% of PAPER supply, gradually diluting early holders
Extras: builder codes for developers and fixes against gas-griefing attacks
The team’s reason for no transfers: a PAPER perp would let attackers short the token and then manipulate BTC or ETH to drain the bankroll. A $15M attack on a $10M bankroll loses money on its own, but with a $10M PAPER short on top, it pays off.
For farmers, it’s a triple blow: the bags can’t be sold, the bot edge is gone, and early PAPER keeps getting diluted. As one trader put it: “You can’t change the rules of a game after users have burned millions of dollars.”

• Gold – $28.7T
• Nvidia – $5.24T
• Apple – $5.00T
• Alphabet – $4.16T
• Microsoft – $3.96T
• Silver – $3.22T
• Amazon – $2.83T
• TSMC – $2.18T
• SpaceX – $1.95T
• Meta – $1.80T
Gold at $28.7T is bigger than the next five assets combined ($21.6T) and makes up 48.6% of the whole top ten ($59.1T). Add silver and the two metals hold 54% of the list.
Seven of the ten are AI plays: Nvidia, Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, TSMC and Meta – $25.2T together, still $3.56T short of gold. SpaceX at $1.95T is the only private company here.
Bitcoin is out of the top ten: at $1.64T it sits 12th, $161B behind Meta and just 5.7% of gold.

| 8 | Stock Market vs GDP: 20 Years of Change
How big are stock markets compared to the economies behind them? Here’s market cap as a multiple of GDP in 2025:
• USA: 2.2x ($69.0T vs $30.8T)
• Japan: 1.7x ($7.6T vs $4.4T)
• India: 1.3x ($5.3T vs $4.0T)
• UK: 1.0x ($4.0T vs $4.0T)
•China: 0.8x ($15.5T vs $19.5T)
• Germany: 0.6x ($2.9T vs $5.1T)
The US stock market has quadrupled since 2005 and is now worth more than twice the US economy, driven by its global tech giants. China’s market grew ~39x in 20 years, but it’s still smaller than its GDP.
Germany is the opposite of the US: Europe’s largest economy has one of the smallest stock markets relative to its size.

| 11 | Weekly Recap: Oct 12–18
The week’s biggest risks didn’t come from where crypto usually looks. A $102M Ledger theft never touched a smart contract, and Strategy’s worst day in months came from an MSCI rulebook, not Bitcoin. AI stocks sold off hard even as Google and Meta shipped new frontier models, and regulators kept closing in on the labs and the chips. Tesla, meanwhile, answered with a flying car.

| 12 | Where Big Tech’s AI Money Goes
Morgan Stanley estimates that Big Tech and neoclouds will spend $1.58T on AI in 2027. Here’s where that money ends up:
• Chips & servers: $672B
• Non-US suppliers: $511B
• US memory & storage: $217B
• Networking & optical: $215B
• Data center infra: $119B
Just four companies (Google, Amazon, Meta and Microsoft) account for $1.08T, or 68% of the total. On the receiving end, Nvidia gets the biggest slice, followed by memory makers Samsung, SK hynix and Micron. Billions also flow to networking, power and construction companies.

| 13 | SoftBank’s Portfolio in 2026
SoftBank is one of the world’s biggest tech investors. Through Vision Fund 1, Vision Fund 2 and the group itself it holds stakes in around 400 companies. Here are some of the best-known ones by sector. This is a selection, not the full list.
The biggest bet today is AI: OpenAI, Arm, Stargate and its own chipmakers Ampere and Graphcore. Next comes physical AI, meaning robots and warehouse automation like ABB Robotics, Skild AI and AutoStore. Its big consumer and mobility bets from the 2010s, such as ByteDance, Coupang, DiDi and Grab, are still in the portfolio.

| 14 | Last 10 US Presidents: Net Worth Before and After Office
Did the presidency make them richer? We compared the net worth of the last 10 US presidents when they took office and when they left:
Most left about as rich as they came in, and some left poorer. Carter left in debt after his peanut business struggled in a blind trust, and Clinton left owing millions in legal bills. Trump is the exception: his fortune fell in his first term ($3.5B → $2.4B) and has grown in his second thanks to crypto ventures.
The real money comes after the White House, from books, speeches and board seats. The Obamas reportedly signed a $65M book deal soon after leaving office.

| 15 | Protocols Earning $3M+ per Month
44 crypto protocols now earn over $3M a month, about $1.25B combined. Stablecoin issuers take the biggest share: Tether ($521M) and Circle ($212M) alone bring in almost 60% of the total.
Apps now earn more than the blockchains they run on. Pump makes about 10x more than Ethereum and 20x more than Solana.

| 16 | Tesla vs. Everyone Else: The Most Valuable Automakers
Tesla has just unveiled its “flying” Roadster, but on the stock market it has been flying for years. Here are the top 10 automakers by market cap as of Oct 15, 2026:
• Tesla: $1.43T
• Next 9 combined: $747B (Toyota, BYD, Xiaomi, GM, Ferrari, Hyundai, Ford, Honda, Porsche)
Tesla is worth about 1.9x the other nine combined, which is around two-thirds of the whole top 10. Only three automakers are above $100B: Tesla, Toyota ($226B) and BYD ($101B).
The gap isn’t about car sales, because Toyota sells several times more cars than Tesla. Investors value Tesla as an AI and robotics bet on robotaxis and Optimus, while the rest are valued like regular carmakers. Even Xiaomi, a phone maker, is already worth more than GM and Ferrari.

| 17 | Bill Gates’ $32.7B Portfolio
The Gates Foundation Trust holds 24 stocks worth about $32.7B at today’s prices, and three-quarters of that sits in just four names:
• Berkshire Hathaway: $7.7B
• Canadian National Railway: $6.2B
• Waste Management: $5.8B
• Caterpillar: $4.8B
• Deere & Company: $2.3B
• Ecolab: $1.5B
• Walmart: $970M
• Other 17 stocks: $3.4B
There’s no Microsoft and no big tech, just railways, waste collection, machinery and Berkshire. Caterpillar is down 30% since June, which cut about $2B and took the portfolio from $34.4B to $32.7B.
Our estimate: Q2 2026 13F positions valued at Oct 14 prices, assuming no trades since June 30.

| 18 | Top Tokenized Stocks by Holders
Tokenized stocks have grown from a niche experiment into a mass retail product. The number of wallets holding them passed 1M in August, up from about 59,000 a year earlier. Here’s where those holders are:
• Nvidia: 617K
• SpaceX: 526K
• Apple: 249K
• Tesla: 245K
• Alphabet: 217K
• Microsoft: 155K
• GameStop: 149K
• Meta: 112K
• TMTG: 108K
Nvidia and SpaceX alone account for almost half of all holders on the list. SpaceX is the more striking case. It only listed on Nasdaq on June 12, and tokenized versions went live on Kraken, Bybit, Ondo and Backpack the same day. That’s 526K holders in four months.
The rest of the list looks more like a retail trading app than an index, with GameStop and Trump Media next to Meta. Positions are small too: in August, tokenized stocks on the top platforms held about $2.3B, roughly $2,250 per wallet. The growth comes from access, not from big money. On-chain stocks trade 24/7 and are open to users outside the US who can’t easily buy American shares.

| 19 | World’s Most Valuable Brands: October Update
Kantar publishes its brand value ranking once a year, in May, and markets have moved a lot since. Kantar treats a brand’s value as a share of its company’s total value. We kept that share fixed and adjusted each brand by how much its parent company’s market value changed through October 14. The new top 10:
• Apple: $1.87T
• Google: $1.80T
• Microsoft: $1.60T
• Amazon: $1.25T
• NVIDIA: $1.03T
• Facebook: $473B
• Instagram: $369B
• Visa: $296B
• AMD: $256B
• Claude: ~$245B
Apple is back at #1 after a 35% rally, and chipmakers moved the most: AMD jumped from #28 to #9 and Intel from #40 to #18. Two AI-native brands are now in the top 20, Claude at #10 and ChatGPT at #16, worth $413B together. McDonald’s slid from #10 to #15, while Netflix, Telekom and Alibaba dropped out.
Kantar’s full formula also uses earnings and consumer surveys, which we can’t update. Claude’s figure is the least certain because it’s based on Anthropic’s private valuation.

| 20 | Top 10 World’s Richest Families
The world’s ten richest families hold about $1.9T between them, and the Waltons alone account for more than a quarter of it. Their ~$505B comes from a 44% stake in Walmart and puts them about $170B ahead of Abu Dhabi’s Al Nahyan family.
Royal oil money is the other big block. The Al Nahyan, Al Saud and Al Thani families hold about $749B together, more than the other six non-Walton families on the list combined.
The biggest change since Bloomberg’s December ranking is in luxury. Hermès shares are down about 39%, which cut the family’s fortune by roughly $72B and dropped it from 5th to 7th. Ambani lost about $28B as Reliance fell and the rupee weakened, and Thomson lost about $9B.
Bloomberg’s ranking leaves out first-generation fortunes, which is why Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg aren’t on it. Private fortunes are Bloomberg’s December 2025 estimates; Walton, Hermès, Ambani and Thomson are updated to October 2026 share prices.
