community member ugurmersin has proposed an alternative to Proposal 613, suggesting that custody of the Ecosystem Protection and Continuity Fund (EPCF) and mainnet Chainlink SVR revenue be transferred from the Safe controlled by the Compound Foundation to a Community Multisig, adopting a 9-party 5/9 multisig mechanism.

According to the analytical section of the latest Global Financial Stability Report published by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), while the tokenized asset market is growing rapidly, its current scale remains small and highly fragmented. The full realization of its potential is primarily constrained by four factors: legal certainty, regulatory clarity, cross-platform interoperability, and the availability of safe settlement assets. Data shows that tokenization activities are currently concentrated in the repurchase agreement market, with an average daily trading volume of approximately $300 billion to $350 billion, which remains in its early stages compared to the scale of traditional finance.

According to Chaoxiang Research, Goldman Sachs' October 6, 2026 research report indicates that Constellation Energy has signed a combined approximately 3.6 GW nuclear power purchase agreement with Google. The agreement includes an 890 MW nuclear capacity upgrade for a 20-year term, and 2,700 MW of existing nuclear capacity for a 15-year term, totaling approximately 3.59 GW. Constellation Energy has committed to investing more than $4.3 billion. The agreement increases the company's contracted nuclear capacity share from 13% to 28%. Goldman Sachs estimates that pre-growth free cash flow will rise from approximately $449 million to $1.167 billion, representing 5% to 14% of its estimated 2030 baseline. Goldman Sachs maintains a neutral rating with a $305 target price, versus the current stock price of $267.62. Goldman Sachs views the agreement as positive for both the company and the industry, and believes investor skepticism regarding PJM's ability to secure PPAs may now shift. Goldman Sachs also notes that Constellation Energy offers relatively lower valuation attractiveness compared to other independent power producers. Whether the revaluation trend persists will depend on whether PJM policy developments yield adverse outcomes, including the IRAS ruling expected by October 12 and the pending RBP process.

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) is pushing to expand its investigation powers over crypto asset information, proposing to allow tax authorities to directly obtain customer data from crypto asset service providers and to update rules for inspecting software and electronic records. UK crypto tax software company Recap has warned that the proposed regulations' definition of service providers is too broad and could encompass non-custodial wallet software, blockchain explorers, hardware wallet manufacturers, and tax software providers. Since Bitcoin transaction records are publicly transparent, once investors' names, addresses, and tax identities are linked to on-chain wallet addresses, their long-term asset activity records could be exposed, increasing the risk of data leaks, extortion, and physical attacks.
