AI server maker Super Micro Computer has given the market reason to take another look at its revenue forecast. On October 20, the company released a preliminary earnings update, sharply raising its revenue forecast for the quarter that had just ended.
After the news was announced, the company’s shares rose as much as 11.3% in after-hours trading. Signals of server demand quickly translated into a stock price reaction.
Super Micro also raised its gross margin forecast. With revenue increasing, it expects to retain more gross profit as well.
But comparing it with the previous quarter leads to a different conclusion. The new gross margin forecast is still below the prior quarter’s. The market’s view that results are “better than expected” needs to be considered separately from whether the company can sustain the previous quarter’s profitability.

Meta just released its latest earnings report. Revenue beat expectations, but free cash flow turned negative. What the report didn’t show was the data on Meta’s personal agent, Muse.
Judging by the earnings call, nearly all the questions were about Muse. As the latest AI app to top the U.S. free app download charts, surpassing ChatGPT, Muse is clearly Meta’s most talked-about product on the market right now. Let’s take a look at Mark Zuckerberg’s latest thoughts on Muse and his plans for the future.
TL;DR
· Muse has already achieved product-market fit. Its current bottleneck is computing power, not demand. In just six weeks, 10 million people in the U.S. and Canada created a Muse account, and about 25% use it every day. Its biggest use case is shopping (with an average order value of over $200, including travel). Because it requires so much computing power, it hasn’t yet rolled out globally.

BlockBeats News, October 22: Online commerce platform Whop announced on October 21 that it had completed a $200 million Series D funding round at a post-money valuation of $5.1 billion. The round was co-led by Sequoia Capital and Shopify Ventures, Shopify’s investment arm. Some media reports put the funding amount at $205 million; the company’s official announcement of $200 million is used here.
This funding round comes less than a year after Whop’s previous one. In February 2026, Tether made a $200 million strategic investment in Whop at a $1.6 billion valuation. The company’s valuation has more than tripled in less than a year.

BlockBeats News, Oct. 22: According to on-chain data analyst @ai_9684xtpa, a whale address (0xdeA…a1d5c) that has been going long on ETH through a leveraged looping strategy since late September has added another 9,000 ETH, successfully lowering its average entry price to $2,553.31.
The address has currently deposited 18,500.54 WETH (worth approximately $45.53 million) as collateral on Aave and borrowed $25.01 million in stablecoins, with a current health factor of 1.51. Since Sept. 29, the address has withdrawn a total of 12,549.9 ETH (worth approximately $32.04 million) from Binance using this strategy. Its average entry prices for opening and adding to the position have fallen from $2,736.47 to $2,460.

Meta paired an earnings report showing revenue growth with an arrangement that would change its share structure. Alongside its third-quarter results, the company announced plans to create non-voting Class C shares and distribute them to shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings.
According to Meta’s official earnings report, revenue for the quarter reached $64.6 billion, up 26% year over year. The announcement also included a founder agreement covering Zuckerberg’s sale of new shares, his continued employment, and a commitment regarding his place of residence.
Ad revenue is still growing, so why are financing tools and the founder’s living arrangements appearing together on the board’s agenda? To answer that, we need to look beyond the income statement and take another step toward the cash flow statement.

Model companies are moving onto their competitors’ clouds, and chip companies are moving into telecom operators’ sites. AI competition is playing out across procurement, delivery, and operations. Beyond technical capabilities, who can capture budgets and control costs is increasingly determining where revenue goes.

On October 21, OpenAI announced that it was bringing its frontier models and Codex workflows to Google Cloud’s Model Garden. Enterprises can purchase them through the cloud marketplace and apply the spending toward existing cloud commitments. A full rollout is planned over the coming weeks, while Microsoft remains its primary cloud partner.

BlockBeats News, October 22: The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) announced the launch of two consultations: one on how businesses using decentralized finance (DeFi) should comply with its guidance, and another on exempting certain cryptoassets in light of “recent legislative changes.”
In an announcement published on Wednesday, the FCA opened a consultation aimed at helping DeFi businesses comply with the financial regulator’s rules on anti-money laundering and financial crime. The agency also announced a consultation on “cryptoasset regulatory exemptions,” citing recent legislative developments in the UK.

BlockBeats reports that on October 22, U.S. President Trump said he would not bomb Iran before the midterm elections. However, the U.S. is evacuating some non-emergency personnel stationed in Saudi Arabia, reducing troop levels at some bases in the Middle East, and deploying additional aircraft carrier and amphibious forces. The Israeli military reportedly sent dozens of fighter jets toward the Iranian border this week before turning back, and its list of potential targets is also being updated.
The U.S. State Department has ordered the departure of non-emergency government employees and their family members in Saudi Arabia only, citing attacks on Saudi civilian targets by Iran-backed Houthi militants. Separately, reports say the U.S. military has quietly reduced troop levels in Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait, and elsewhere in recent days. The Wall Street Journal reports that the U.S. is sending another aircraft carrier to the Middle East, with a third carrier strike group on its way from the Pacific, and is also deploying amphibious assault ships carrying Marines. If the additional forces arrive and the current ships are not rotated out, the total number of U.S. Navy vessels in the region is expected to exceed 24 (currently about 20).

BlockBeats News, October 22: Several fundamental internet software projects released security updates in quick succession within a single day, addressing risks including remote code execution, TLS certificate verification bypasses, and certificate trust issues. These include:
PHP fixed two critical vulnerabilities, CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, both of which could allow unauthenticated remote code execution in PHP environments that process web requests. Fixed versions include 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36, and 8.2.35.
The Node.js advisory lists ten vulnerabilities, four of them high severity, including remote code execution caused by an out-of-bounds write in the Brotli decoder, DNS name truncation, and two TLS certificate hostname verification bypass issues. Fixed versions are 26.12.1, 24.22.1, and 22.23.4.

BlockBeats reports that, according to PHP’s official security advisory on the “php2shell” vulnerability, website operators should update to PHP 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36, or 8.2.35, depending on the branch they use, or install the corresponding security fix package provided by their distribution. Users of PHP 8.1 and earlier should upgrade to a supported branch or contact their distribution provider and long-term support vendor to confirm whether patches are available for older versions.
Ordinary users can follow CISA’s general security recommendations: First, enable two-factor authentication on important accounts, such as email and financial accounts. Second, use a unique, strong password for each account and avoid reusing passwords. Third, watch out for phishing emails impersonating “urgent password reset notices.” When you need to change a password, go directly to the official website or open the official app rather than clicking suspicious links. These measures can help reduce the risk of account theft and phishing, but they cannot fix a server-side PHP vulnerability.

BlockBeats News, Oct. 22: Dataline, a decentralized data network for AI agents, announced that it has raised $10.6 million in a seed round co-led by Lattice and Samsung-backed Dispersion Capital. Other participants included Symbolic Capital, Coinbase Ventures, Anagram, and Robinhood co-founder and CEO Vlad Tenev. The round closed in April via a SAFE with token warrants attached; the valuation was not disclosed.
Dataline is live and covers around 50 data sources, providing both on-chain and off-chain data. It uses AI to score data reliability, timeliness, and consistency. The funding will be used to add more data sources, improve data validation, and expand into areas such as robotics and AI training data.

BlockBeats News, October 22: The Node.js project released security updates on October 21 for the 26.x, 24.x, and 22.x release lines, with fixes in versions 26.12.1, 24.22.1, and 22.23.4, respectively. The advisory lists 10 vulnerabilities in total, including 4 critical, 3 medium, and 3 low-severity issues. The affected versions vary across the release lines.
Among them, the critical vulnerability CVE-2026-111497 involves an out-of-bounds write in the Brotli decoder that could lead to remote code execution, and affects all three release lines listed above. Other critical issues include the handling of null characters in DNS resolution and a bypass of TLS certificate hostname verification.
