Parataxis Ethereum cancels South Korea merger due to delisting risk
Coin World News: Parataxis Ethereum announced the cancellation of its merger plan with Parataxis Korea, as delisting disputes and potential shareholder cash demands made the merger timeline difficult to predict. According to a regulatory disclosure on October 6, the boards of directors of Parataxis Ethereum and Parataxis Korea approved the termination of the merger agreement on the same day and signed a formal termination agreement. The two companies withdrew the shareholder meeting originally scheduled for November 27 and the remaining merger procedures. Parataxis Ethereum stated that continuing the transaction could expose it to substantial shareholder appraisal claims, which could lead to cash outflows and put pressure on its liquidity and financial condition.

Michael Burry: The stock market is in the denial stage, and history is repeating itself.
CoinWorld data: Michael Burry recently issued a stock market warning, saying that although the Nasdaq is near a record high, the stock market is still in a denial phase. He pointed out that the markets of 2000 and 2008 experienced similar denial phases, usually lasting 6 to 9 months. Burry believes that investors viewed early market weakness as a buying opportunity rather than a turning point. Although the latest market data seems to contradict his view, he stressed that historical experience shows that early market resilience often leads to deeper losses. Burry also recently adjusted his investment strategy, turning to put options on Micron, Nvidia, and Palantir. He believes the market should experience enough of a decline to prevent OpenAI and Anthropic from going public.

HKMA Chief Executive Eddie Yue: The softer Hong Kong dollar exchange rate mainly reflects the impact of two major factors.
According to CoinWorld news, Eddie Yue, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority: The weaker Hong Kong dollar exchange rate mainly reflects the impact of two major factors. Eddie Yue, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, said today that last month the Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the first time in three years, widening the interest rate differential between Hong Kong and the United States, and the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate weakened. Some market participants and the public once again focused on the movement of the Hong Kong dollar. During April to May, the Hong Kong dollar moved roughly between 7.8300 and 7.8380, and since mid-June it has gradually weakened, recently hovering around 7.8460-7.8475, moving further closer to the weak-side convertibility undertaking of 7.8500. This mainly reflects the impact of two major factors: carry trades triggered by the widening interest rate differential between the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar, and the decline in Hong Kong dollar demand related to the stock market. Looking ahead to the short-term movement of the Hong Kong dollar, it will be affected by several factors, including capital market activities, the market's appetite for carry trades, local market liquidity conditions, and the outlook for Federal Reserve monetary policy.
