ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood stated at a summit hosted by Robinhood in Houston that investors have traditionally "followed developers" to gauge technological trends, but now they may need to "follow agents." The AI agents she refers to are software that can perform tasks on behalf of humans, rather than just answering questions or generating text. This statement came towards the end of a discussion on AI, private markets, and technology investments.As AI agents shift from answering questions to executing operations and spending funds, the type of financial infrastructure they will use has become a focal point. SharpLink co-CEO and former BlackRock digital asset head Joseph Chalom believes that the financial system used by AI agents should not be controlled by a few banks or tech companies. He cited the example of authorized agents booking hotels, pointing out that users should be able to set spending limits, revoke authorizations at any time, and view the agents' transaction records. Additionally, users should be able to transfer the agents' identities, financial information, and permissions between different financial service providers, similar to mobile number portability.Chalom believes that open blockchains like Ethereum can provide a universal financial network for different agents, applications, and companies to use collectively, eliminating the need for each AI company to build its own closed payment system. A report from BlackRock in September also noted that AI agents could create new demands for machine-oriented payment systems, such as payment API calls, purchasing data, or renting computing power, with stablecoins and blockchain being one of the viable solutions. Coinbase's x402 is designed to enable machines to pay for online services like data or APIs.

According to HOGE Wire, the U.S. federal fiscal year will begin on October 1, 2026, without a budget, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will enter a funding interruption status, halting the review of new cryptocurrency ETFs. Registration statements cannot be declared effective, and opinion letters will no longer be issued. Existing products are unaffected, and BlackRock's IBIT, Fidelity's FBTC, and Grayscale-related products can still be traded and continue to process subscriptions and redemptions.Cryptocurrency ETFs need to complete both the 19b-4 submitted to the exchange and the S-1 or N-1A submitted by the issuer; both paths are paused during the funding interruption. On September 17, 2025, the SEC approved general listing standards for commodity trust shares, allowing eligible products to submit 19b-4 without needing to do so individually, reducing the review time from about 240 days to approximately 75 days; leveraged, inverse, actively managed, lending, and staking products are not included in this template. The article states that as October approaches, there are over 90 pending applications, with some deadlines at the beginning of the month. Nate Geraci told Decrypt that what the industry refers to as ETF Cryptober may be temporarily shelved, which is a delay rather than a rejection.The article also states that on March 17, 2026, the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission jointly clarified that agreement staking does not constitute a securities offering or sale. BlackRock's Ethereum product ETHB is listed on Nasdaq with a fee of 0.25% and will distribute 82% of staking rewards to investors.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang held approximately 870 million shares of NVIDIA stock as of March 23, 2026, accounting for 3.58% of the company's total equity. Based on NVIDIA's stock price of $231.49 in early October, this portion of shares is valued at approximately $201 billion. According to Forbes, Jensen Huang currently has a net worth of about $200 billion, with his personal wealth primarily derived from his holdings in NVIDIA.Jensen Huang is known to be the largest individual shareholder of NVIDIA. Due to U.S. SEC regulations, individual investors holding less than 5% of shares are not required to disclose their holdings, so it is possible that there are undisclosed individual shareholders with holdings exceeding those of Jensen Huang. Major institutional shareholders currently holding more than 5% include BlackRock and Vanguard Group, with ownership percentages of 7.43% and 7.31%, respectively.Jensen Huang co-founded NVIDIA in 1993. Before NVIDIA's first stock split in 1999, he held approximately 2.9 million shares, accounting for 9.9% of the company. If he had retained those shares until now, adjusted for stock splits, it would be close to 2.8 billion shares, indicating that he has since reduced his holdings. In fiscal year 2025, NVIDIA paid him a total compensation of $35.5 million, which included a base salary of $1.5 million, a cash bonus of $3 million, and approximately $31 million in equity granted in the form of 936,800 performance stock units.

Ondo Finance has launched a new category of on-chain products, Ondo Intelligent Portfolios, which presents curated investment portfolios through a single transferable on-chain token. The first three portfolio tokens are constructed based on BlackRock's customized portfolio strategies for Ondo, allowing qualified investors in eligible jurisdictions outside the United States to gain relevant economic exposure through a single token.Traditionally, diversified, professionally constructed investment strategies typically required access through brokerage accounts and traditional fund structures. Now, these portfolios can be accessed through peer-to-peer transferable tokens issued by Ondo, available in users' existing wallets, exchanges, and DeFi applications, and support automatic rebalancing via smart contracts, programmable integration with the broader on-chain economy, and the combination of multiple asset classes within a single token.The three strategies are BLKHIon (High Yield), BLKDIGon (Diversified Growth), and BLKGRWon (High Growth). Holding the tokens provides economic exposure to the underlying asset baskets; each product is issued by Ondo Global Markets and tokenized by Ondo Finance. Investors only need to mint or redeem a single token to hold tokenized assets with weighted allocations, with positions, weights, and rebalancing visible on-chain in real-time.Lisa O'Connor, Head of Global Model Portfolio Solutions at BlackRock Multi-Asset Strategies, and Co-Chief Investment Officer of Global Solutions, stated that tokenization provides a new digital delivery pathway for portfolio strategies; Ian De Bode, Acting CEO and President of Ondo Finance, mentioned that such portfolios have never appeared on-chain before. Ondo plans to continue expanding this product line in the future.
