Policy and legal watch
The U.S. Supreme Court is reviewing Learning Resources v. Trump, a landmark case that could redefine presidential authority over tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
The outcome could reshape hundreds of billions in trade and debt arrangements. Analysts are split, calling it a “50-50 decision.” If the court rules against the administration, the White House may need to refund previously collected tariffs and could face tighter limits on economic emergency powers.
President Trump commented that the ongoing government shutdown has weighed on the stock market but remains confident equities will “set new highs again.”
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that the pardon for CZ underwent a standard review process before reaching the president’s desk for final approval.

Grayscale announced it will temporarily waive sponsor fees for the Grayscale Solana Trust ETF (GSOL) and lower staking-related fees for up to three months, or until the fund’s AUM reaches $1B, whichever comes first. The trust has now staked 100% of its SOL holdings, offering a 7.23% yield.
Ripple closed a $500M funding round led by Galaxy Digital and several institutional backers. The raise reinforces Ripple’s push to expand cross-border payment infrastructure and enterprise blockchain adoption amid renewed optimism around digital finance integration.
Metaplanet raised $100M by collateralizing its Bitcoin holdings. The company plans to use the funds to buy more Bitcoin, expand revenue streams, and conduct share buybacks. As of October 31, Metaplanet holds 30,823 BTC.

Ecosystem highlights
Solana's Junk.fun cleans up meme coins
Solana meme token BONK teamed up with privacy protocol Manta Network to launch Junk.fun, a cleanup tool for on-chain clutter. The platform allows users to burn worthless meme coins or NFTs, freeing locked SOL rent fees in exchange for CREDITS points.
These points can be used to join official ecosystem campaigns, with a $75,000 rewards pool running over the next three weeks.
MicroStrategy's debt pressure draws analyst attention
Crypto analyst Willy Woo raised concerns that MicroStrategy may face liquidation risks during the next bear cycle. The firm holds about $1.01B in convertible notes maturing on September 15, 2027.
To avoid selling Bitcoin to cover its debt, MicroStrategy’s stock must stay above $183.19 per share, roughly equivalent to a Bitcoin price of $91,502. The company retains flexibility to repay in cash, stock, or both.
DeFi systemic risk warning
Analysts issued a warning that DeFi could face systemic risk as leverage ratios across smaller lending protocols rise sharply. Several cross-chain liquidity pools have shown stress, with elevated utilization rates and unusually high APYs suggesting liquidity mismatches may be forming.
