The Ethereum community has proposed scoped capability tokens for Security Transaction Validation and Authorization (STVA). According to Foresight News, the proposal recommends short-lived, purpose-limited, and revocable tokens based on EIP-712 or ERC-1271, granting permission only for specific actions such as upgrading implementations, transferring funds, or installing modules. The approach is intended to replace broad, long-term authorizations and reduce the risk of high-value losses.

Meta has quietly launched Style Sketch, an AI fashion app that helps users create new outfits from clothes they already own. According to Sina Finance, the app can connect to Instagram and build a virtual wardrobe from users’ posted photos; users can also add clothing by taking photos, recording short videos, or uploading images from their phone. Style Sketch recommends outfit combinations based on a user’s personal style and wardrobe. Users can also virtually try them on realistic models generated to match their body type and skin tone, choose a specific garment for new recommendations, or plan daily outfits for a trip using the destination, trip length, planned activities, weather forecasts, and itinerary. The app, first spotted by social media consultant Matt Navarra, is available on iOS and Android in Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand. It is unclear whether Meta plans to expand it to additional markets. Other apps offer AI tools to digitize wardrobes and preview outfits, including products from startups such as Alta. Google Photos also lets users turn clothing photos into a digital wardrobe and create outfit ideas. Meta may rely more on Style Sketch’s integration with Instagram, where users have already saved many photos reflecting their personal style, than on the novelty of the concept, the article says. Style Sketch is one of several AI apps Meta has released in recent months. The company also launched Waddle World, described as resembling a Tamagotchi game with AI features, as well as Pocket, a game-making tool using vibe coding, and Vibes, which lets users generate AI videos. These launches are part of Meta’s broader strategy to expand its app lineup. Earlier this year, a report said CEO Mark Zuckerberg had told employees the company planned to release far more apps than before, as AI makes app development and launches faster and easier.

Indian retail investors borrowed funds to buy Jio Platforms shares on the company’s first day of trading on Wednesday. According to Sina Finance, the borrowing totaled 22.228 billion rupees, or about $234.06 million, making Jio the fourth-largest stock in India by margin-financed purchases. The strong demand on its debut encouraged traders to take on greater risk. Jio Platforms, a telecommunications and digital company controlled by billionaire Mukesh Ambani, rose 26.7% on its first trading day, reaching a valuation of about $137 billion and becoming India’s second-largest listed company. The debut-day buying came after a wave of forced liquidations linked to margin calls among Indian retail investors. By October 28, total margin trading in India’s spot market had fallen to 1.51 trillion rupees from a record 1.59 trillion rupees on September 30. India’s Margin Trading Facility (MTF) allows traders and investors to borrow funds from brokers, with interest, to buy actively traded stocks. The National Stock Exchange of India classified Jio Platforms as a Group 1 security at listing, while the Bombay Stock Exchange placed it in the comparable Group A category, allowing margin trading from its first day. As of October 28, data from the two exchanges showed that only HDFC Bank, Reliance Industries, Jio’s parent, and BSE Ltd. had larger MTF positions. Annual interest rates for margin trading in India typically range from 9% to 18%. Dhiraj Relli, managing director and chief executive of HDFC Securities, said Jio Platforms’ margin trading position, while substantial, accounted for just 0.17% of its total market capitalization.

According to Jin10, the pound traded around 1.3380 against the U.S. dollar in early European trading on Friday, holding its gains as markets absorbed the UK Autumn Budget and focused on the Bank of England’s upcoming policy decision. Brown Brothers Harriman analysts said the UK’s October 2026 budget would have a “neutral” impact on sterling and gilts, noting that the government had slightly increased fiscal tightening while planning a small increase in debt issuance. The cyclically adjusted primary balance, excluding interest payments and adjusted for the economic cycle, is expected to improve from a deficit of 0.3% of GDP in fiscal 2026/27 to a surplus of 0.5% in fiscal 2027/28. The fiscal tightening amounts to a drag equivalent to 0.8% of GDP, above the 0.6% forecast in March. BBH warned that the additional tightening may be too modest to significantly curb market expectations for nearly 125 basis points of cumulative Bank of England rate hikes over the next 12 months.
