Strategy founder and chairman Michael Saylor said on X that Florida elected a Republican governor who supports a U.S. Bitcoin reserve, while Texas elected a Democratic senator who voted for a state Bitcoin reserve. According to ChainCatcher, Saylor said the reasons for holding Bitcoin cross party lines. In the 2026 midterm elections, Republican U.S. Representative Byron Donalds defeated Democrat David Jolly to become Florida’s governor. Donalds proposed H.R. 2112, which would give legal force to executive orders establishing a federal strategic Bitcoin reserve and digital asset reserve. During his campaign, he said Florida already had a proposal to create a strategic reserve. Democratic state representative James Talarico defeated Republican Ken Paxton to become a U.S. senator from Texas, making him the first Democrat since 1994 to win a statewide election in the state. Legislative records show Talarico voted for SB21, a bill to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve in Texas, while serving in the state House. Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed the related law in 2025.

BitGo Holdings (BTGO) has launched BitGo Global Markets, a new institutional trading and financial-solutions business combining global liquidity, trade execution, financing, derivatives and settlement services. According to ChainCatcher, citing The Block, the division is led by former NYDIG executive Pete Janney, following BitGo’s August 27 acquisition of NYDIG’s institutional and trading businesses. About 30 employees joined BitGo as part of the acquisition, bringing experience in derivatives, financing, collateral services and structured products. Janney initially joined BitGo as head of financial infrastructure. BitGo has offered institutional trading through BitGo Prime since 2020; that business is now part of Global Markets, alongside capabilities from NYDIG in derivatives, collateral management and structured financing. BitGo’s Global Liquidity Layer will provide spot trading and large over-the-counter trading access, sourcing liquidity from exchanges, market makers and other counterparties. Clients can pledge crypto assets to borrow funds for trading positions, with BitGo providing qualified custody, margin monitoring and margin-call or liquidation handling. The division will also offer options, swaps and customized structured products to eligible counterparties, as well as managed investment strategies, private funds and research services. Go Network will handle clearing and settlement. BitGo CEO Mike Belshe said Global Markets combines custody, liquidity, trading, financing and settlement capabilities with deeper capital-markets expertise. BTGO rose 3.4% in premarket trading Wednesday after gaining 3.7% the previous day.

BMW has cut its full-year earnings guidance for a second time and is speeding up its restructuring plan. According to Sina Finance, BMW expects its full-year automotive EBIT margin to range from -0.5% to 0.5%, compared with guidance of 1% to 3% in June, and expects vehicle deliveries this year to edge down from 2025. Excluding restructuring costs, the company said the automotive EBIT margin is still expected to exceed 2%. The company attributed the guidance revision to a non-operating loss to be recognized in its fourth-quarter results and said it would expand product and structural reforms. Demand for its Neue Klasse models is strong, prompting additional production shifts at factories and an earlier phaseout of older models and technology platforms. Restructuring is also expected to proceed faster than previously planned. Under CEO Milan Nedeljković, BMW has pledged to reduce its workforce and use artificial intelligence to improve efficiency. In September, it announced a 20% reduction in departmental and management positions. The company had also agreed with labor representatives to cut thousands of jobs. Mercedes-Benz, Audi and Porsche are also pursuing restructuring plans. BMW reported third-quarter net profit of 1.46 billion euros, down from 1.67 billion euros a year earlier. Automotive EBIT fell 40% to 901 million euros, while the segment’s margin narrowed to 3.4% from 5.2%; EBIT beat analysts’ consensus estimate of 794 million euros. Group EBIT dropped 30% to 1.59 billion euros, below the 1.71 billion euro consensus. Revenue declined to 30.45 billion euros from 32.31 billion euros, but exceeded analysts’ estimate of 29.85 billion euros. Lower vehicle shipments, weighed down by the China market, contributed to the revenue decline.

Gnosis Chain plans to end its independent Layer 1 (L1) operations in Spring 2027 and join the Ethereum Economic Zone (EEZ). According to Foresight News, the move will make Gnosis Chain the first general-purpose Zone settling to Ethereum. A hard fork will migrate the chain’s state while preserving contracts, balances, addresses, chain ID and the xDAI gas token, so developers will not need to redeploy. Gnosis co-founder Friederike Ernst said the network chose rapid block production and synchronous composability with Ethereum over decentralized sequencing, meaning its current set of about 200,000 independent validators will not be retained after the migration. She also said the Gnosis DAO spends $7 million to $10 million annually to operate Gnosis Chain as an independent L1. The EEZ’s Devnet Rollup X testnet launched today at Devcon in Mumbai, with demonstrations including a CoW Swap exchange using Ethereum mainnet liquidity in a single transaction and Safe’s atomic owner changes between L1 and L2. Rollup X also demonstrated Falcon post-quantum signature verification, callable by the mainnet; the mainnet gas use for the operation fell from about 5.5 million to about 495,000, a reduction of roughly 91%. Rollup X remains a testnet, and its core protocol is undergoing an independent security audit. The EEZ is a Swiss nonprofit co-funded by the Ethereum Foundation. Foresight News previously reported that Gnosis co-founder Friederike Ernst and Zisk founder Jordi Baylina collaborated on the EEZ framework, which is intended to address liquidity fragmentation caused by L2s.
