1. "How to Farm So Many Prediction Markets?"
As the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), announced on October 7 its plan to invest $2 billion in the prediction market platform Polymarket at a valuation of about $9 billion, just three days later, another prediction market giant, Kalshi, also announced the completion of a $300 million financing round, with a valuation reaching $5 billion. Meanwhile, Polymarket founder Shayne Coplan has previously reposted or liked posts about the platform possibly launching a token. This time, he listed a string of mainstream crypto asset symbols followed by the $POLY ticker on social media, which can be seen as an explicit hint at token issuance. This series of news has triggered FOMO sentiment among community members. As the news continues to ferment, the prediction market sector has once again become a hot topic of discussion.
2. "Black Swan Trader? Who Is the Mysterious Whale Garrett Jin?"
Discussions about the black swan crash event on October 11 are still ongoing, with the community continuously questioning the identity of the whale who precisely shorted with a position exceeding $1.1 billion in advance.

Around noon today, Garrett Jin posted three consecutive updates on his personal X account, responding to market rumors for the first time. He clarified that he has no connection with the Trump family or "Little Trump," emphasized that his previous operations were not insider trading, and stated that the funds used were not his personal assets but belonged to his clients.

No Need to Worry About the Cooling Down of AI Data Center Construction? The US Import Boom Is Unlikely to Subside in the Short Term, Real Impact May Come in 2029
It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed. For trade partners such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Mexico who rely on US data center supply chain demand, the inertia in construction timelines provides at least a one- to two-year buffer for future exports.
Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?
The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
