【HiLo Big Gray’s Morning Brief】10/19 · US Tech Stocks Oversold (3/4)

In TradFi, QQQ fell sharply last week, posting its biggest weekly bearish candle in nearly a year, with a cumulative decline of more than 5%.
Around 700 is short-term support on the daily chart. Prices bounced near this support over the weekend, but the correction may continue if QQQ fails to reclaim 730.
Memory, semiconductor, and tech stocks, which performed strongly the week before, also plunged across the board, with cumulative losses of more than 30% over the past two weeks. They are now oversold in the short term, and several assets are beginning to show synchronized lows. This week, watch the strength of any rebound after the lows form.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🇺🇸 U.S. Stocks
▪️ U.S. stock futures climbed ahead of the open as markets faced a packed week of earnings. AI stocks have recently shown signs of a pullback, and prominent commentator Jim Cramer said he would take the opposite side of last Friday’s AI trade sentiment. AI company Anthropic has pledged to issue $48 billion worth of shares ahead of its IPO, prompting institutional buyers to debate whether its valuation is justified 📉
▪️ Elon Musk’s SpaceX now accounts for 80% of global payload mass sent into orbit, further cementing its dominance in the commercial space industry 🚀

🥇 Gold & Commodities
▪️ Bullish sentiment in copper has turned more cautious. Tariff measures that markets had been anticipating have yet to materialize, softening macroeconomic expectations and prompting investors to reassess the supply-demand balance for industrial metals 🔶

🛢️ Crude Oil
▪️ Brent crude briefly neared $109 as Ukraine resumed strikes on energy infrastructure and an oil tanker was attacked in Middle Eastern waters south of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Navy released footage of a mine attack, stoking geopolitical risk premiums. However, WTI and Brent gave back 0.4% at the open, trading at $98.54 and $106.93, respectively, as some investors began taking profits ⛽

🔗 How this affects BTC
Geopolitical conflict and elevated oil prices have dampened risk appetite, sending $BTC below the $81,000 level and leaving it under slight pressure over the past 24 hours. But signals from traditional finance are not all bearish: DTCC will launch a tokenization service this month covering around $30 trillion in assets, marking a substantive step toward integrating on-chain and traditional finance. Circle disclosed that USDC still generates 7 cents in net profit per dollar of revenue, showing that stablecoin profitability remains resilient amid zero-fee competition 💡 #BTC #TradFi

🏦 A European banking giant is making a move: Deutsche Bank to custody BTC/ETH for institutions

According to reports from Reuters, Cointelegraph and others (around Oct. 16–18 Beijing time), Deutsche Bank plans to launch crypto asset custody for German institutional and corporate clients within weeks—
① Initially supporting Bitcoin, Ethereum, and some stablecoins such as USDC
② Technology partners include Taurus; the goal is to meet compliance requirements for asset segregation, operational controls, reporting, and insurance
③ Not available to retail customers; related developments will follow the BaFin / MiCA route
④ The bank has also discussed tokenized deposits and digital securities, with plans to expand to Asian financial centers in 2027

With US markets closed for the weekend, this is more worth watching than calls on whether prices will rise or fall: TradFi is building out its custody infrastructure. In the short term, the impact on spot market sentiment is neutral to slightly bullish, but actual implementation will depend on regulatory approval and the launch timeline.

Binance spot (Oct. 18, 16:54 Beijing time): BTC $81,726 (24h +0.04%), ETH $2,410 (24h -1.00%), SOL $103.23 (24h -1.70%).

My take: Schwab opening a retail channel and Deutsche Bank providing institutional custody—the pathways are widening, but that doesn’t mean capital will flow in immediately. Watching for “when it officially launches” is more useful than guessing how the market will move over the weekend.

🏦 Wall Street giant brings Bitcoin to retail accounts: Charles Schwab fully opens spot trading

Charles Schwab (around Oct. 16 Beijing time, Fall Business Update / Bitcoin.com) confirmed that eligible retail clients can directly buy and sell spot Bitcoin and Ethereum—
① Approximately $13.3 trillion in client assets and 40.3 million+ brokerage accounts
② 0.75% fee, with trades of $1–$2 million; positions can be viewed alongside stocks on Schwab.com, the app, and thinkorswim
③ On-chain deposits and withdrawals are being rolled out in phases; Solana, Avalanche, and Chainlink are planned for listing before year-end
④ CEO Rick Wurster positioned crypto trading as a new source of “trading-based revenue” (prediction markets also came up at the same event)

US markets are closed for the weekend, but the market is still digesting this TradFi adoption news. In the short term, it’s more of a sentiment driver for spot prices; over the medium to long term, the question is whether the “path to buying crypto” becomes more accessible.

Binance spot (Oct. 18, 12:56 Beijing time): BTC $81,785 (24h +0.31%), ETH $2,416 (24h -0.41%), SOL $103.85 (24h -0.80%).

My take: Opening up access ≠ an immediate surge in trading volume. It’s more useful to watch actual trading activity and deposit rules after launch than to shout “the institutions are here.”

🚨 Ripple Prime Brings Traditional Markets Into 24/7 Crypto Trading

Ripple Prime is opening access to more than 100 traditional markets through 24/7 swaps referencing Trade.xyz perpetuals on Hyperliquid.

What caught my attention is the shift toward trading traditional assets beyond regular market hours. Crypto markets never sleep, and now this model is expanding into markets that have historically followed fixed trading schedules.

But there’s a risk traders shouldn’t ignore. Ripple Prime acts as the counterparty, and weekend price movements can trigger margin calls even when traditional markets are closed.

More access means more flexibility, but it also demands stronger risk management.

Will 24/7 trading become the new standard for traditional financial markets?

4 Countries Having Problems with MSCI
(🇮🇩Indonesia is currently facing the most serious issue)

First, what is **MSCI**?

MSCI (Morgan Stanley Capital International) is a global organization that creates world stock market indexes. Its indexes (such as MSCI Emerging Markets) are tracked by hundreds of billions of dollars in passive investment funds (ETFs & index funds). If a country is downgraded or removed from an MSCI index, foreign money could flee in large amounts.

### 4 Countries Facing Problems:

1. Indonesia (Most Serious)
Problem: Lack of transparency in share ownership + suspected *coordinated trading*.
Status: MSCI is consulting on downgrading Indonesia directly from Emerging Market to Standalone (worse than Frontier). The final decision is due in June 2027.

2. Turkey 🇹🇷
Problem: Allegedly “inflated” free float + *coordinated trading* in small-cap stocks.
Status: Its index status is frozen + there is a risk of being downgraded to Frontier/Standalone if progress is slow.

3. Argentina 🇦🇷
Downgraded to Standalone in 2021 due to strict capital controls (making it difficult for foreign investors to withdraw their money).

4. Russia 🇷🇺
Downgraded to Standalone in 2022 due to Western sanctions following the invasion of Ukraine (making the market almost inaccessible to global investors).

What Are the Impacts?
- Passive funds (ETFs) tracking MSCI are **required to sell** shares in that country.
- There could be *capital outflows* worth billions of dollars.
- Pressure on the local currency & stock market.
- Foreign investors become more selective about investing.

Where Will the Money Go?

When money flows out of troubled emerging market stocks, most of it usually moves to:
- Developed market stocks (the US, Europe, Japan)
- Bonds / gold
- Or... Crypto 👀

Bitcoin & Ethereum in particular often become “alternative safe havens” amid uncertainty in traditional markets. Many global investors are starting to diversify into crypto as access to emerging markets becomes more difficult.

🚨 $RWA NARRATIVE HITS RESISTANCE AS TECH TITANS OPPOSE ON-CHAIN STOCK LISTINGS! 🏦

TradFi giants are pushing back on the on-chain revolution. 💡 Tech heavyweights like Broadcom and CoreWeave just formally opposed a major exchange's move to launch tokenized stock trading, joining nine out of 63 surveyed issuers slamming the door on synthetic equity listings.

While the friction between traditional corporate governance and permissionless liquidity was inevitable, 54 issuers stayed silent or receptive. 🌊 The bridge connecting equities to decentralized order books remains the ultimate macro catalyst, even if corporate boardrooms want to protect their traditional distribution pipes. 💬 Will tokenized stocks overcome TradFi resistance, or is institutional hesitation here to stay? 👇

📰 Why Does Payward Want to Buy a Bank?

Payward plans to acquire Lithuania’s Saldo Bank, with the deal expected to close in 2027. The acquisition would allow Payward to expand its traditional banking services into four EU markets where Saldo Bank already operates. For the crypto industry, this marks another tentative step by traditional financial institutions into the crypto space.

Why does this news matter?
The underlying reason is that traditional financial institutions are looking for safe ways to enter the crypto market. By acquiring a bank with an established operating license, Payward can avoid the uncertainty of dealing directly with crypto regulations. In terms of the industry cycle, we’re seeing traditional financial giants cautiously testing the waters amid expectations of regulatory easing. Along with other recent developments—such as Bank of America and Wells Fargo beginning to serve crypto exchanges, and El Salvador continuing to advance Bitcoin’s status as legal tender—they point in the same direction: financial institutions are gradually letting down their guard toward the crypto sector.

Market impact
In the short term, this news could boost sentiment in the crypto market, especially if Payward successfully integrates the acquired resources. Any impact on BTC and ETH prices is likely to be mostly sentiment-driven, since expanded banking services won’t directly affect mining costs or token issuance models. In the medium to long term, however, if this model is replicated, it could accelerate the convergence of traditional finance and cryptocurrency, reshaping the flow of capital. Historically, similar developments—such as the concentration of banking licenses in Crypto Valley in Zurich—have indeed helped drive blockchain innovation in the region.

💡 Personal view: This is more of a cautious trial by traditional financial institutions, enabled by expectations of a more favorable regulatory environment. The short-term boost to the crypto market may be limited. A sustained positive trend may emerge only if we see more large financial institutions enter the crypto space through bank-license acquisitions. But this process won’t happen overnight.
