What we drew from this source

The claims Via News extracted from this document. We point to the source; we don't replace it.

  • None of the 15 institutions in the Bitwise survey reduced crypto allocations during the 50%+ drawdown; several bought more, and all held Bitcoin.

    60% confidence
  • Bitcoin made a new higher high and is above all meaningful moving averages.

    60% confidence
  • Bitcoin is about to close its strongest quarter since late 2024, its first green quarter in a long time.

    60% confidence
  • Prediction markets are easy to game and insider trading is likely a problem.

    60% confidence
  • Institutions treat Bitcoin as a long-term asset and are not trading it month to month.

    60% confidence
  • AI agents will transact using stablecoins and tokens on blockchain rails, which is among the most bullish narratives for crypto.

    60% confidence
  • Within six months people will be giving AI agents literally everything and they will run our lives.

    60% confidence
  • The PCE numbers are likely inaccurate, and the cooler inflation reading does not matter for Bitcoin.

    60% confidence
  • Bitcoin is an uncorrelated, idiosyncratic asset and is likely entering a new cycle regardless of the rest of the economy.

    60% confidence
  • Government changed the methodology for portfolio management, software and legal services prices, which economists said lowers annual inflation by about 0.2 percentage points.

    60% confidence
  • Market expectations are arbitrarily set by large institutions in line with what the Fed wants, so beating expectations is what matters.

    60% confidence

ESMO 2026 Oncology Data Wave Builds Toward Ivonescimab PDUFA, While Micro-Cap Biotech Exits the Market
Late October 2026 is a dense catalyst window led by ESMO 2026. Daiichi Sankyo's DXd antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) programs (DESTINY-Lung04, DESTINY-Breast11, REJOICE-Ovarian01/02, TUXEDO-3), Guardant's 25 abstracts and the PACE-LUNG ctDNA trial all report there. These feed into the FDA's 14 November 2026 PDUFA date for ivonescimab. Large and mid-cap developers with late-stage data and commercial launches (ZEGFROVY, ANKTIVA, MIUDELLA, lorundrostat, duvakitug) are drawing capital and attention. Spago Nanomedical's board decision to seek a Nasdaq First North delisting (EGM 19 November, application 25 January 2027) shows the capital squeeze on early-stage, single-asset names (Tumorad is Phase I).

Where sources disagree
Ford Motor Company
Both facts give cash for Ford Motor Company at the same point in time (2025-12-31; FY 2025 year-end and Q4 2025 year-end are the same date). Both are labelled USD, but the values are 23,356,000,000 and 23.356, which cannot both be true in USD. The two numbers agree once the second is read as billions (23.356 bn = 23,356,000,000), so the economic content is consistent and the conflict is a unit/scale error in the Q4 2025 record. The period is not the reason for the conflict: a Q4 and an FY figure at the same year-end date should match.
