More →Standard Chartered-led Anchorpoint says it’s not rushing retail stablecoin
The Standard Chartered and Animoca Brands joint venture previously targeted retail access as early as the end of 2026, but its CEO declined to reaffirm that timeline. Standard Chartered-backed stablecoin venture Anchorpoint says it will take a cautious approach to opening its Hong Kong dollar-backed stablecoin to retail users, declining to confirm a launch date after rival HSBC rolled out RedCoin, <a href="https://www.scmp.com/business/cryptocurrency/article/3372060/standard-chartered-led-anchorpoint-plans-retail-stablecoin-hsbc-redcoin-launches" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">>according</a> to the South China Morning Post.

Anchorpoint CEO Dominic Maffei declined to confirm that timeline at a Friday press conference, saying the company would take a prudent approach. “We believe it’s important to build the market out in a long-term, sustainable manner,” Maffei said, adding that rushing a launch “does not make sense.” The update comes after <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/hsbc-launches-redcoin-hong-kong-dollar-stablecoin-payme" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">HSBC launched its Hong Kong dollar-backed RedCoin</a> on Friday for the 3.3 million users of its PayMe app. <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/standard-chartered-animoca-brands-hong-kong-stablecoin-license" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Anchorpoint grew out of a partnership</a> between Standard Chartered, Animoca Brands and telecommunications provider HKT, which was announced in February 2025, following their joint participation in Hong Kong’s stablecoin issuer sandbox in July 2024.

CaiXin Securities' Yuan Chuang: Broad-based ETFs continue to see rising volume, and market support remains strong.
According to a CoinWorld report, Yuan Chuang, chief economist at Caixin Securities, stated that on the afternoon of October 23, several broad-based ETFs continued to see increased volume, and the broader market rebounded with higher volume after hitting a bottom, boosting market sentiment. Although the A-share market has experienced significant volatility and adjustment recently amid multiple overseas risk factors, Yuan Chuang believes that overseas risk events will not change the medium- and long-term investment value of A-shares, and investors should treat irrational market behavior objectively. It is expected that the A-share market will gradually stabilize after continued volatile consolidation from October to November. It is recommended to reasonably control positions, focus on right-side positioning, and wait for the market to enter a new round of trend-driven行情.

Tailscale exposed with 11 security issues: it installs an anti-theft door for servers, yet may let hackers take away the master key.
According to CoinWorld news, Tailscale has been exposed to 11 security issues. In a report released on October 25, security researcher Erica Windisch pointed out that an attacker only needs to control one device that has already been authorized to access a target server via Tailscale SSH in order to further seize root privileges on the server. The vulnerability stems from privilege isolation: the Tailscale backend runs as root, and some SSH forwarding operations also inherit that privilege. The researcher bypassed ordinary account restrictions through Unix socket forwarding and successfully obtained root privileges on the server. In addition, the attack chain also intercepted device registration keys and added a forged server to a test network where Tailnet lock was not enabled. Tailscale Vice President of Engineering Mike Shaver acknowledged that the team had discovered the privilege escalation issue after SSH authorization, but had not yet confirmed all the conclusions of the research report. The engineering team has submitted multiple SSH redesign proposals on GitHub, preparing to make forwarding operations use the privileges of the actual logged-in user rather than directly handing them to the root process for execution. The relevant fixes have not yet been released in an official version.
