@BNBStandard just rang the Nasdaq Opening Bell with CZ standing right there 👀
A public company built around the world’s largest corporate BNB treasury, ringing the world's most-watched market open.
That’s not a photo op.
That’s BNB walking into the room institutional capital actually watches.
Five quick facts about CZ & the BNB Standard:
🔸YZi Labs led the $500M raise that turned a small Nasdaq company into a BNB treasury vehicle
🔸CZ publicly voted for the name “BNB Standard” in the community advisory poll
🔸New CEO Alex Odagiu previously served as an investment partner at YZi Labs
🔸The company is planning to run a BNB Chain validator, not just hold the token
🔸CZ showed up in Times Square for the first time to ring the bell
Most institutions still haven’t seriously looked at BNB. A Nasdaq-listed company with transparent filings and a real treasury makes that harder to ignore.
😱 WHALE MISTAKENLY TRANSFERS $73 MILLION USD IN BITCOIN TO STRANGER! $BTC
After realizing they mistakenly transferred $73 million USD worth of BTC, this whale sent an on-chain message, asking the recipient to keep 10% ($7.3 million USD) and return the remaining 90%.
$BTC Why did Bitcoin plummet tonight? The reason could stem from the Middle East conflict 🧨
Bitcoin just dropped 2.2% in 24 hours, to $79,700. ETH, XRP, and SOL also fell 3-4%. Over $400 million worth of long positions were liquidated in the last 4 hours.
Condolences to the long holders 🤕
The market declined after The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported that the US is urgently withdrawing personnel from embassies and military bases across the Middle East. Intelligence suggests Iran may be preparing to attack Americans.
Jay Clayton, Director of National Intelligence, wrote in a memo to Secretary of State Marco Rubio that Iran has significantly increased its efforts targeting US personnel. This troop withdrawal appears to be much larger than earlier in the week.
Speaking in Florida on October 23, Trump also said the US could escalate the conflict with Iran again after the midterm elections in early November.

#EarningsSeason #BinancePick Microsoft $MSFT reports after the close on Oct 28. Consensus sits around $4.71–$4.72 EPS and roughly $90.6–$90.7B revenue.
Management guided $89.85–$90.95B, with Azure expected to grow about 45% constant currency.
I think they clear both numbers. They have beaten EPS in eight straight quarters, and last quarter’s print ($4.74 vs $4.24, revenue $90B) was clean. Azure checks from analysts still look strong, and Copilot adoption is no longer just a slide. CapEx is heavy, but the revenue side of AI demand has been showing up. I do not expect a big miss on the top or bottom line.
The harder part is the reaction. $MSFTB has a habit of beating and then trading soft if the next-quarter Azure guide or margin comment is only “in line.” Options are pricing a smaller move than the stock has usually delivered recently. A clean Azure print above 45% plus stable guidance could push it higher in the first session. Anything that sounds like capacity constraints or slower sequential growth will get sold, even if the headline numbers beat.
I am not adding a fresh position into the print. I already have some exposure from earlier and would rather see the Azure number and the Q2 commentary before deciding whether to add.
