Did Elon Musk Just Hint at Tesla x SpaceX Merger, or Will Cars Fly First？

Elon Musk paired the words Tesla x SpaceX with the Roadster livestream link, reviving Tesla SpaceX merger speculation. Polymarket bettors, meanwhile, give the car a 60% chance of a Roadster flying for one second or more.　　Neither Tesla (TSLA) nor SpaceX (SPCX) has confirmed merger talks, but the post lands as analysts openly debate a deal. The demo of Teslas Roadster sports car, unveiled in 2017, reportedly leans on SpaceX thrusters, putting both brands on stage.　　Sponsored　　Sponsored　　Why Does Tesla SpaceX Merger Talk Keep Returning？　　SpaceXs push toward a Nasdaq listing brought the merger question back in May.　　SpaceX then went public on June 12 at $135 a share, a $1.77 trillion valuation. It was the largest initial public offering (IPO) on record.　　SpaceX closed October 14 at a $2.07 trillion market value, while Tesla shares are down about 18% this year.　　SpaceX stock peaked at $225.64 within days of the debut, then slid.　　SpaceX also absorbed Musks AI company xAI in February.　　Barclays thinks the likelier route is SpaceX buying Tesla with stock. That would leave Musk with roughly 37% of the equity and 56% of the votes.　　The bank sees the gains in integration, not financial engineering. It points to Tesla‘s robotaxis and Optimus humanoid robots joining SpaceX’s

Jim Cramer's Rate Test: Why He Backs Reddit but Passes on SiTime

CNBC host Jim Cramer backed Reddit (RDDT) and Rocket Lab (RKLB) but passed on SiTime (SITM) on Thursdays “Mad Money,” favoring stocks that have fallen over those priced for growth while interest rates climb.　　The picks span social media, rockets, refiners and chips, yet one thread links them. The Federal Reserve (Fed) raised rates in September, and Cramer leaned toward stocks that had already sold off.　　Sponsored　　Sponsored　　Does a Sell-Off Make Reddit and Rocket Lab Worth Owning？　　Cramer said he wants to buy Reddit after its slide this year. In contrast, one caller said investors punished lost, unprofitable Google traffic and ignored Reddits earnings from direct users.　　Reddit is down over 12% in the last 3 months. Image: Trading View　　However, CEO Steve Huffman called Google search referrals choppy in July, even as revenue grew 61%.　　On Rocket Lab, Cramer said the failure to launch hurt the stock less than he expected. On Wednesday, Rocket Lab delayed the debut of Neutron, its medium-lift rocket, to 2027, Bloomberg reported.　　Meanwhile, Rocket Lab reported a record $2.36 billion backlog in the second quarter, up 137% year over year. However, it has yet to turn a profit, and Neutron anchors that plan.　　Sponsored　　Sponsored　　Where Does Oil Risk Sit in Cramers Energy Calls？　　Cramer prefers

WikiBit Exchange Exit Risk Ranking #45 — BingX: It Got a MiCA License and Hired a Former Ronaldo Teammate. Why Do Users Say, “They Freeze Your Account When You Start Making Money”?

Introduction: An Exchange With a “Compliant on Paper, Divisive in Reputation” Profile　　In the first 44 editions, we investigated a series of exchanges ranging from HashKey to LBank. For the 45th edition, we turn to one of the most “split-personality” exchanges on the list — BingX.　　On the “compliance + marketing” side, its résumé looks impressive: founded in 2018, more than 10 million users worldwide across 160+ countries, an Austrian FMA-issued MiCA license obtained in October 2026, ISO/IEC 27001 certification, PCI DSS 4.0.1 certification, monthly Merkle Tree Proof of Reserves, a BTC reserve ratio of 146.52%, full reimbursement to users after a $52 million hack in 2024, a leading position in copy trading, and even sponsorship of the Argentina national football team.　　Sounds like a “rising compliance star + copy-trading king,” right？　　But on the other side of the story, Trustpilot gives BingX just 1.5/5, with users complaining that their accounts were “frozen after making money,” that withdrawals required “prepayment,” and that they were asked to provide more documentation than they would normally provide to a bank.　　WikiBit gives BingX a score of 6.73, while flagging an abnormal regulatory status for its Canadian FINTRAC registration (Regulatory No. M21935840), which is reportedly listed by the regulator

82 criminal charges follow armed crypto abduction in Toronto

Three Canadian Armed Forces members are among seven men facing 82 criminal charges following the alleged armed kidnapping of a crypto exchange owner in Toronto, police said in an Oct. 14 update.　　Investigators allege the victim was targeted as he approached his vehicle in the Finch Avenue East and Bayview Avenue area on July 25. He was abducted at gunpoint, handcuffed, and assaulted.　　The suspects allegedly tried to gain access to cryptocurrency assets and business-related security systems. Police said the victim was later released after threats and a warning not to report the incident to police.　　Police have not identified the exchange or disclosed whether cryptocurrency was transferred. Their reference to business-related security systems does not show that exchange-controlled infrastructure or customer assets were compromised, and they did not provide a loss amount.　　Police identified the service members as Talarambage Fernando, James Moreau and Jack Miley. Each faces charges of kidnapping for ransom with a firearm and forcible confinement, among other offenses.　　Police arrested the suspects between July 26 and Sept. 24. Police arrested Fernando, Moreau, and Christian Darbandi on Aug. 11, while arresting Miley and Suhaib Alekozai on Sept. 24. Police arrested Raheem Bishop-Jackson and Saiefeddine Adem on July 26.　　CityNews reported on Oct. 5

MSCI adopts index exclusion rules that could oust Strategy

Index provider MSCI has adopted new rules that could lead to Strategy, Metaplanet and Upexi being removed from its global indexes, while leaving several other crypto treasury companies facing potential exclusion.　　MSCI said Thursday it will adopt a methodology proposed in August that would make “non-operating companies” ineligible for inclusion in the MSCI Global Investable Market Indexes.　　MSCI previously identified Strategy (MSTR) among the companies that would be deleted from the indexes under the “non-operating companies methodology.” Sharplink, Inc (SBET), Ton Strategy Company (TONX), Solana Company (HSDT) and DeFi Development Corp. (DFDV) are among companies that would be put on a “watchlist” for potential removal.　　Removal could force funds tracking MSCI indexes to sell the affected companies shares, potentially putting pressure on stock prices and reducing passive investment demand.　　“It removes a company from the default portfolios of tens of millions of people who never chose to remove it,” said Conner Brown, executive director of the Bitcoin Policy Institute in September, who was describing the consequences of broad-market index exclusion, with Strategy as the example.　　Related: Strategy adds 250 Bitcoin as holdings reach 848,250 BTC 　　Under the new methodology, MSCI will assess companies based on their operating assets and five financial ratios.

Starknet opens vote on potential Ethereum L2 exit over quantum risks

Ethereum layer-2 network Starknet has opened a non-binding vote asking STRK holders whether it should explore becoming an independent, post-quantum layer-1 blockchain.　　On Thursday, Starknet opened a seven-day poll, which offers three options: support further research, oppose it, or remain neutral pending more information. Voting closes on Oct. 22, with results published afterwards.　　A “Yes” vote would signal support for further research, not authorize a transition. Further proposals and governance votes would be required, and no timetable for becoming an L1 has been announced.　　StarkWare, the developer behind Starknet, said the move could allow the network to pursue quantum-resistant security without depending on Ethereums upgrade schedule. Starknet currently relies on Ethereum for infrastructure, including its bridge and data availability, which StarkWare identifies as remaining quantum-security dependencies.　　“Quantum-proofing crypto is urgent, so we must move at lightning speed,” StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson told Cointelegraph, contrasting the proposal with what he described as slower progress at Ethereum and Bitcoin.　　Both Ben-Sasson and Starknet hinted at the proposal in separate X posts on Oct. 8, framing it as a move to become “the first fully quantum-resistant network” by 2027.　　In June, StarkWare unveiled a three-phase quantum-resistance roadmap for Starknet, covering signature upgrades, smart-contract migration and Ethereum-dependent infrastructure.　　In March, Ethereum

Ledger wants customers to trust its new $849 device as criminals compromise existing wallets

Ledger unveiled an $849 crypto device with new anti-tamper protections as it investigated coordinated thefts involving modified hardware wallets.　　Related Company Ledger Crypto hardware wallets　　On Oct. 15, the French crypto wallet maker introduced Ledger Atom, which is a mobile device that combines everyday apps with hardware-protected crypto transactions. The company is accepting refundable $100 deposits for a Founders Edition priced at $849, with deliveries targeted for 2027.　　The launch coincides with Ledgers investigation into an organized criminal operation that secretly modified genuine hardware wallets before returning them to reseller distribution channels. The attackers allegedly captured customers recovery phrases and used them to drain cryptocurrency holdings in a coordinated operation.　　Ledger Atom　　In a separate security announcement, Ledger Chief Technology Officer Charles Guillemet said Atom includes an active protective shield designed to detect attempts to physically open, probe, or modify the devices secure hardware.　　The technology addresses a vulnerability exposed by the recent attacks, where malicious components reportedly intercepted information displayed during wallet setup without compromising Ledgers security chips or operating system.　　Guillemet explained that existing Ledger devices use cryptographic authentication to verify the integrity of their secure software. However, that process cannot detect an additional component secretly monitoring the screen.　　Atoms protective shield is designed to alert

Scammer loses $4.8M stored on tampered Ledgers: Asia Express

Major irony alert as scammer falls victim to Ledger supply chain attack　　Ledger was forced to suspend its reseller network across South East Asia this week, after thieves stole more than $103.4 million from 530 addresses via tampered Ledgers inserted into the supply chain. But in a small measure of poetic justice, one of the “victims” was a scammer themselves according to Chainalysis.　　The blockchain monitoring firm reports that the scammer lost 60 Bitcoin, worth about $4.8 million, from three newly purchased Ledgers containing spyware that records seed phrases. The Ledger thieves drained all three of their funds into the same wallet.　　In a further irony, the scammer had operated a “task scam” where people were paid to fake sales and reviews of real items. So depending on how much they knew, their victims in turn may not have been entirely honest either. “Then a ‘negative balance’ appeared, and they were told to add their own money in order to get paid,” Chainalysis reports. So it‘s possible that a scammer of scammers has just got scammed. In crypto it’s sometimes turtles all the way down.　　Despite reports of tampered Ledgers showing up in Europe forcing electronics retailer MediaMarkt to suspend sales, Ledger insists that

Grayscale Says Bitcoins Volatility Falls to 43%, Now Within S&P 500 Range

Quantum fixes protect Bitcoin, but legit owners risk lockout

Crypto investor Nic Carters worst-case quantum scenario consists of a hostile actor recovering the keys to dormant Bitcoin, then broadcasting a wave of spends across 10 blocks.　　Related Asset Bitcoin #1 BTC · $82,381.03 24-hour change: up 1.08% Loading price history… 24H Up 1.08% 7D Up 0.69% 30D Up 9.08%　　In his Oct. 13 interview with Luke Martin, Carter says early coins moving together could shake confidence in the network.　　The stakes extend beyond choosing stronger cryptography.
