Grayscale and BlackRock executives said U.S. midterm election results have limited bearing on the crypto industry’s growth, pointing to overseas demand and institutional adoption. According to Odaily, Grayscale research head Zach Pandl said the industry’s future depends more on those factors than on Washington. Pandl called the GENIUS Act an important development for stablecoins but said regulatory clarity and institutional adoption have deeper foundations. He estimated that 80% to 85% of global crypto activity takes place outside the United States and said demand for dollar-backed stablecoins is growing in South America and Southeast Asia. BlackRock digital assets head Robert Mitchnick said the U.S. midterm elections would have limited impact on the firm’s crypto business. He added that Bitcoin and Ethereum already have most of the regulatory clarity needed for investment products.

Japan's services sector expanded modestly in October for the fifth consecutive month, with business activity and new orders growing slightly faster. According to Sina Finance, the final S&P Japan Services PMI rose to 51.7 from 51.3 in September, below the preliminary reading of 52.0; readings above 50 indicate expansion. New orders rose for a 28th consecutive month, with growth accelerating from September, supported by stronger domestic demand, new customers and business expansion initiatives. Overseas demand remained weak, although new export orders fell at the slowest pace since April. Cost pressures eased further: input-price inflation slowed for a fourth month to an eight-month low, while output-price inflation narrowed. Prices charged by businesses nevertheless continued to rise monthly for four and a half years. Business confidence fell to its lowest level since March, amid concerns about inflation, an aging population and labor shortages. Annabel Fiddes, associate director of economics at S&P Global Market Intelligence, said persistent inflation could weigh on demand and hiring in the coming months. She added that the Bank of Japan would focus on whether growth momentum weakened further and cost pressures eased when assessing whether to tighten policy further. Employment in the services sector grew only slightly in October, the slowest pace in 14 months. Businesses cited expansion plans as a reason for hiring, while resignations and retirements constrained overall headcount growth.

According to ChainCatcher, French banking group Crédit Mutuel Arkéa disclosed details on November 4 of a theft previously revealed by ZachXBT. The bank said attackers gained access through the platform of an unnamed third-party service provider, then used the bank’s own accounts to transfer funds to other financial institutions. The funds may have subsequently been exchanged for cryptocurrency through professional platforms. The bank denied that its online bank Fortuneo was the point of entry and said customer assets were unaffected. It did not confirm reports of about 118 million euros stolen, but acknowledged the amount was of that scale. Some funds have been frozen, while the final loss is still being assessed.
