Ripple secured final US approval for a national trust bank, a major step for institutional adoption and RLUSD oversight. The mood remained cautious as Bitcoin slipped below $80,000, while prediction-market disputes and stablecoin rules drew fresh regulatory attention.
- Ripple Wins Final Bank Approval — The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency granted final approval to Ripple National Trust Bank, allowing it to hold reserves for the $2.5 billion RLUSD stablecoin and provide digital-asset custody. Ripple and BNY also expanded their partnership to explore tokenized trade finance and invoice settlement on the XRP Ledger.

- Bitcoin Falls Below $80,000 — Bitcoin traded near $79,700 on Tuesday, down from an early low around $79,400, as traders waited for the Federal Reserve’s decision and US midterm elections. US spot Bitcoin ETFs received about $110 million after $774 million in prior withdrawals, but the month remained at roughly $202 million in net outflows.

- CFTC Challenges Utah’s Kalshi Crackdown — The CFTC sued Utah to block the state’s gambling-law action against prediction market Kalshi, which could put up to $60 million to $61.2 million in fees at issue.

- Prediction Markets Face Scrutiny — Polymarket opened investigations into dozens of suspicious election-linked bets and referred at least two cases to the CFTC, which is also examining whether US users could access its offshore platform. Separately, S&P Dow Jones Indices partnered with Kalshi to create event contracts and benchmarks based on politics, economics and sports. (CoinTribune, Bitcoin Magazine, Cryptopolitan)

- Coinbase Advances MiCA Cleanup — Coinbase gave European Economic Area customers three days to withdraw 14 restricted assets before October 30, when remaining balances will be converted to USDC or compatible tokens.

- Robinhood Crypto Revenue Declines — Robinhood generated a record $1.42 billion in quarterly revenue, but cryptocurrency revenue fell 55% as options and prediction markets offset the decline. Its Robinhood Chain brought in $26 million and crypto revenue rose 20% in Q3, while SoFi reported $161.6 million in gross crypto transaction revenue but retained only $1.6 million after costs. (The Block, Bitcoin.com, BeInCrypto, Bitcoin Magazine)
- Wallet Maker Destroys Breached Devices — Keystone will destroy 18,835 unsold hardware wallets after a breach exposed an authentication key and records for 25,964 buyers.

(CoinTribune, Cryptopolitan, CoinDesk)
- Prediction Platform Offers Refunds — Predict.fun said it will fully reimburse users after attackers drained about $400,000 in USDT from a small group of wallets. The breach was traced to a third-party site hosting the platform’s developer documentation, and refunds were pledged just before PREDICT’s launch. (Cryptopolitan, BeInCrypto)
Watch the Federal Reserve decision, US midterm races and Bitcoin’s ability to regain $80,000. Further regulatory decisions on prediction markets, stablecoin licensing and crypto election spending could shape institutional demand.
