Analysis: If the Democrats win the midterm elections, the Trump family’s crypto business could become a key focus of investigations.
According to Reuters, if the Democratic Party takes control of the House of Representatives or the Senate after the November midterm elections, it is expected to launch investigations into business transactions related to former President Trump and his family, with a focus on the Trump family’s involvement in cryptocurrency, prediction markets, and investment businesses, as well as companies that funded White House projects. The report notes that controlling either chamber of Congress would give Democrats more committee investigation resources and subpoena power, with some probes potentially launching as early as February next year. Current frequently mentioned targets of Democratic lawmakers’ investigations include Donald Trump Jr.’s venture capital firm 1789 Capital, and cryptocurrency enterprises linked to the Trump family, though a final investigation list has not yet been finalized. Additionally, Republican Senator John Curtis has previously called for investigations into some of Donald Trump Jr.’s business relationships, arguing that the commercial activities of the president’s family should be subject to consistent congressional oversight.

AI agent company Instinct has closed a $1 billion Series C funding round, pushing its valuation to $10 billion, with participation from investors including Sequoia Capital.
Beating AI Express News: AI assistant startup Instinct has closed a $1 billion Series C funding round, reaching a $10 billion valuation, with participation from firms including Sequoia Capital, Benchmark Capital, and Coatue. A month ago, Instinct had just secured a $350 million funding round at a $2.5 billion valuation. Instinct launched its invitation-only service in August 2026, focusing on AI agents that perform real-world tasks for users, such as booking travel and restaurants, shopping, paying bills, canceling subscriptions, conducting research, and ordering groceries. The company recently rolled out the "Concierge" feature, which makes calls on users' behalf, and the "Trusted Person Network" that enables AI agents of different users to coordinate with each other. Reports note that Instinct's rapid fundraising reflects growing market interest in consumer-facing AI agents. However, the company's previous privacy policy sparked user concerns over personal data security, and it has since been updated. Meanwhile, Meta's AI assistant Muse has seen rapid growth recently and is competing with Instinct.

Institutions: The sell-off of U.S. Treasuries may be somewhat overdone.
Capital Economics believes the sell-off in US Treasuries is primarily driven by changes in the market’s near-term interest rate expectations. Current 10-year US Treasury yields are approaching their June 2007 highs; economist James Reilly points out that this trend reflects rising oil prices and the strength of the US economy, rather than being fueled by AI-related bond issuance or fiscal concerns. Reilly forecasts that as the Federal Reserve’s tightening falls short of investors’ current expectations, 10-year US Treasury yields will “fall sharply to 4.25%” by the end of 2027. He notes that while AI-related bond issuance will continue to exert upward pressure on yields, its impact is less significant than media reports have implied, and will be offset by shifts in monetary policy expectations. As for fiscal concerns, he added that there have been no substantial fiscal developments recently sufficient to trigger a sharp spike in yields.

Polymarket is set to launch a new Rust-based CLOB test in November, with plans to complete the subsequent migration.
Polymarket’s development lead Josh Stevens stated the team is fully building a new Rust Central Limit Order Book (CLOB) system and unveiled the latest migration plan for Polymarket DeFi. The existing CLOB is widely regarded as the root cause of most current issues. Per the plan, October will bring end-to-end testing of the full order lifecycle—including trading, settlement, on-chain interactions, indexers, and engine notifications—in a test environment. In November, all production traffic will be mirrored to the new trading cluster, with results compared against the existing system, and test access opened to market makers. The team also aims to finalize the migration switch plan in November, completing two full dry runs before the official switch. If progress goes smoothly, the new system will then be officially launched. Stevens added that the migration will minimize required changes for market makers and developers: request and response interfaces are expected to stay unchanged, with only possible additions of some fields and the deprecation of one field; any deprecation will be announced in advance.
