Grayscale Research Director Zach Pandl published an article on September 28, 2026, in the company's column The Stack. The article states that among American investors, Generation Z starts investing at an average age of 19, Millennials at 25, Generation X at 32, and Baby Boomers at 35. Based on a retirement age of 65, Generation Z has an investment horizon of 46 years, which is over 50% longer than the 30-year horizon when Baby Boomers started investing.Zach Pandl: Starting to invest earlier not only benefits from compound interest but also expands the capacity to take on risk. When young, labor capital accounts for a larger proportion of wealth, and a longer horizon means more time to recover from fluctuations, as well as more future income available for continued saving and investing, thereby expanding the lifetime risk budget. He believes that the returns on digital assets are both volatile and potentially asymmetric, making them more suitable for longer and more flexible horizons.Zach Pandl also mentioned that for early investors, the cost of recent volatility may be less than the opportunity cost of missing out on long-term upside. With decades available for rebalancing, adding funds, and compounding across cycles, early starters may allocate a higher proportion to digital assets while keeping their lifetime risk balanced. Starting to invest earlier gives investors more time to absorb fluctuations, potentially enhancing the utility of digital assets in long-term portfolios.

Volantis, a photonic interconnect chip company, announced on X that it has completed a $88 million Series A financing round. The company stated that it is addressing AI memory bottlenecks with optical solutions, configuring large amounts of high-speed memory for chips, and increasing single-chip memory bandwidth and capacity by several orders of magnitude to support high-speed inference for models with over 10 trillion parameters, with single-user speeds reaching up to 10,000 tokens per second.Volantis claims that this solution will initially be used to accelerate agents, reducing programming tasks from hours to minutes or seconds. The company also stated that the optical solution can enhance memory systems by several orders of magnitude generationally, rather than the typical doubling every year. Its team has been involved in the first CoWoS product, early HBM, the first silicon photonic CPO system, the first mass-produced tunable VCSELs, and the first processors with optical direct communication; it has now achieved transmission distances in chip packaging that exceed 10 times that of equivalent tiny conductive wires, with next-generation products already taped out, aiming to set records for bandwidth density at relevant distances.

According to the Arbitrum Security Committee report, in response to the increasingly complex risks of AI-assisted attacks, Arbitrum took emergency action around 23:30 Beijing time on October 2 to temporarily halt the activation of new Stylus contracts on the Arbitrum One and Nova networks.This restriction mainly targets programs and application updates that require new activation, while already activated Stylus applications can continue to operate, and the deployment and execution of regular Solidity contracts are not affected. Arbitrum officials stated that this preventive measure stems from threats of WebAssembly program attacks targeting non-standard Stylus compiler toolchains, and no risk of fund theft has been discovered so far. The main concerns are on-chain activity and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Developers can still extend the lifecycle of existing programs through a permissionless keep-alive renewal mechanism, but they cannot activate expired programs or new version applications.

European Central Bank Executive Board member Isabel Schnabel stated that central bank money must be on-chain; otherwise, the tokenized market will increasingly rely on private or foreign currency settlement assets.CoinDesk cited her viewpoint, stating that in the absence of on-chain central bank money, the settlement of the tokenized market will shift more towards privately issued assets or foreign currency-denominated assets. Schnabel believes that bringing central bank money on-chain helps maintain the settlement anchor role of public money in a tokenized environment.

The cryptocurrency exchange platform Coinbase has obtained a Financial Services License (FSP) issued by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). This license allows it to arrange investment transactions and provide custody for tokenized securities. Coinbase describes this license as the regulatory foundation for its international tokenization hub and the first of its two major non-U.S. institutional businesses established in the UAE, the other being its derivatives business in Dubai.According to the scope of the license, the FSP covers the arrangement and custody of tokenized stocks fully backed by underlying shares. Holders of digital securities can gain economic exposure such as dividends, while voting rights and redemption rights are subject to the conditions outlined in each prospectus. Coinbase states that investors only need a crypto wallet to trade, and secondary transfers do not require a brokerage account or banking relationship, but redeeming profits for fiat currency still requires a bank or brokerage account.Brett Tejpaul, Co-President of Coinbase Institutional: Currently, there is no major financial center that has established a framework that simultaneously regards tokenized stocks as securities, blockchain-native tokens, and composable DeFi assets. Arvind Ramamurthy, Chief Market Development Officer of ADGM, stated that the Coinbase hub reflects the center's progressive, robust, and internationally aligned regulatory framework. The FSRA issued its first virtual asset rules in 2018, which include protective measures such as sanctions screening and the ability to freeze or seize assets at the wallet level. ADGM applies English common law, and the FSRA's authority differs from that of the UAE Securities and Commodities Authority; registered entities do not automatically obtain a passport in other Gulf Cooperation Council jurisdictions.

According to a report by Financial Associated Press, Tesla's official website released data on October 2, showing that third-quarter deliveries reached 486,532 vehicles, exceeding analysts' average expectation of 463,761 vehicles; during the same period, production was 464,391 vehicles, and energy products deployed amounted to 13.7 gigawatt-hours. This delivery volume is lower than the 497,099 vehicles delivered in the same period last year, which was a record at the time, primarily because American consumers concentrated their purchases before the federal electric vehicle purchase incentives were canceled.Deliveries of Model 3 and Model Y in the third quarter totaled 478,237 vehicles, accounting for approximately 98.3% of the total deliveries for the quarter. Financial Associated Press reported that Tesla has ceased production of the higher-priced Model S and Model X, leaving only Model Y, Model 3, and Cybertruck available for consumer sales, and mentioned the revamped Roadster, which has begun production of a version without a steering wheel and pedals, as well as the sale of the Semi all-electric heavy truck.StoneX analyst Mickey Legg stated that the deliveries were better than expected, which could provide upside potential for automotive business forecasts, but there are still questions regarding the energy business. Financial Associated Press noted that Musk is pushing the company to shift towards artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, and humanoid robots, with plans to invest over $25 billion this year to expand factories and establish a Robotaxi business. Regulatory documents this week showed that the company has secured $30 billion in new loans and credit lines. Tesla's stock price rose nearly 6% during the day.
