Bitpush News: The Federal Reserve has lowered the benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 3.50%-3.75%, marking the third consecutive meeting with a rate cut, in line with market expectations. The cumulative rate cut for the year has reached 75 basis points.

【Fed to purchase $40 billion in Treasury bills within 30 days】

Bitpush News: The Federal Reserve FOMC statement announced that it will purchase $40 billion in Treasury bills over the next 30 days.

【Gemini approved by CFTC to enter prediction market】

Bitpush News: U.S. cryptocurrency exchange Gemini announced that it has officially received approval from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to operate as a Designated Contract Market (DCM). It will soon launch a prediction market platform called Gemini Titan.

According to the official statement, the platform will initially offer binary contract products based on future events and plans to gradually expand into crypto futures, options, and other CFTC-regulated derivative markets in the future. Gemini President Cameron Winklevoss stated in the declaration that prediction markets have significant development prospects and expressed appreciation for the innovative regulatory approach supported by CFTC Acting Chairman Caroline Pham.

Notably, U.S. regulatory agencies have shown a positive adjustment in their policy stance toward prediction markets. Leading prediction platforms Kalshi and Polymarket have seen significant growth in trading volume, while former President Trump's social media company recently announced a partnership with Crypto.com to develop prediction market business.

In addition to Gemini, mainstream exchanges like Coinbase have also made preliminary布局 in prediction market-related technologies. Industry data shows that prediction market partner Robinhood once contributed over 50% of Kalshi's trading volume.

【State Street Bank and Galaxy to launch tokenized liquidity fund SWEEP on Solana in 2026】

Bitpush News: State Street Bank and Galaxy Asset Management jointly announced plans to launch a tokenized liquidity fund called "SWEEP" on the Solana blockchain in early 2026. The fund will use PayPal's stablecoin PYUSD to enable round-the-clock subscriptions and redemptions, initially targeting qualified institutional investors with on-chain cash management tools. Ondo Finance has committed approximately $200 million as startup capital.

According to the statement, the product aims to help institutions hold on-chain cash-like assets without sacrificing liquidity. Kim Hochfeld, Global Head of Cash and Digital Assets at State Street Bank, stated that this collaboration will "jointly promote the evolution of traditional finance into the on-chain ecosystem."

The fund will initially operate on Solana, with plans to expand to the Stellar and Ethereum networks later. This is another important布局 in institutional-grade on-chain finance following their collaboration on digital asset ETFs in 2024.

【If SpaceX IPOs at a $1.5 trillion valuation, Elon Musk's net worth will reach $952 billion】

Bitpush News: If SpaceX successfully goes public next year with a valuation of $1.5 trillion, global richest person Elon Musk's wealth could increase by $491 billion, bringing his total assets to $952 billion.

According to estimates, if SpaceX goes public with a valuation of $1.5 trillion, Elon Musk's stake in SpaceX would be worth over $625 billion. Currently, Elon Musk's personal net worth is $460.6 billion, with his SpaceX equity valued at approximately $136 billion. Elon Musk holds about 42% of SpaceX's shares. SpaceX's IPO is the second clear path for Elon Musk to become the world's first trillionaire, following last month's approval of Tesla's trillion-dollar compensation package.

"Teletubbies" Robot Cleaning Service, $30/Hour, Pure·Manual·Intelligence

Anthropomorphic "Teletubby" robot offers cleaning services in San Francisco at $30/hour, but it's entirely remote-controlled. The robot, created by startup Tau Robotics, can perform household tasks like washing hands, mopping floors, and taking out trash. While the initial demo videos appear impressive and are notably shown at normal speed (unlike many sped-up robot demos), the company reveals the actions are performed via human teleoperation, not autonomous AI. Tau Robotics, founded in 2024, argues this "cheat" is a strategic way to bridge the current capability gap, ensure task completion, and collect real-world home data to eventually train autonomous systems. Their service features three robot models: Chelsea for kitchens/bathrooms, Elon for regular tidying with memory, and Tony for deep cleaning. Priced at $30 per hour, it's cheaper than average human cleaners in the US. The article discusses the broader challenge of deploying humanoid robots in homes, comparing Tau's approach to others like China's Ziliang and the US's 1X Neo, which also use teleoperation. A key reason for choosing a humanoid form is to make remote control more intuitive for human operators. The piece also notes the potential "emotional value" of having a humanoid servant. The service is currently invite-only in San Francisco.

From South Korea to the United States: Blue-Collar Jobs Are Becoming Increasingly Popular, Thanks to AI

AI is reshaping the labor market's value proposition. The traditional four-year college degree is losing its appeal as a guaranteed career path, while skilled blue-collar trades like electricians, welders, and plumbers are experiencing historic demand and wage premiums. This shift is driven by dual pressures: AI's displacement of certain white-collar roles and a booming need for physical infrastructure and data center construction. Data confirms the trend. In the U.S., vocational school revenue surged, and a significant portion of recent layoffs are AI-related. Surveys show a majority of Gen Z adults plan to pursue blue-collar work, citing better job security against AI automation. Vocational education interest has exploded recently. Experts cite a psychological shift as younger generations seek tangible, AI-resistant careers and avoid high student debt. In many cases, salaries for skilled trades now match or exceed those requiring a bachelor's degree. In South Korea, semiconductor vocational high schools boast near-total employment, with graduates securing high-paying roles at companies like Samsung. The shortage is structural, exacerbated by a retiring baby boomer workforce and massive infrastructure projects. Companies like JPMorgan Chase, Meta, and Lowe's are investing heavily in training programs. However, overcoming historical stigma and a "perception gap" around trade careers remains a key challenge to closing the talent gap.

Qualcomm: AI Hype Subsides, When Will Smartphones Emerge from the Gloom?

Qualcomm reported its Q3 FY2026 results (ending June 2026), with revenue of $9.95B, down 4% YoY but above expectations. Gross margin declined to 53.1%, pressured by rising costs across manufacturing and memory. Key business segments showed mixed performance: Handset revenue fell 19.6% YoY to $5.09B, dragged by an 11% decline in non-Apple Android shipments and weaker high-end mix. Conversely, Automotive revenue surged 61% to $1.59B, and IoT grew 9% to $1.83B. Core operating profit dropped 41% YoY due to margin compression and higher expenses. Management's Q4 FY2026 guidance projects revenue of $9.7B-$10.5B, in line with consensus, but Non-GAAP EPS guidance of $2.05-$2.25 fell short of expectations. Amidst persistent weakness in its core handset market, Qualcomm is pursuing growth in AI, focusing on Edge AI (smartphones, PCs, automotive) and Data Center AI. Its data center strategy includes four pillars: AI accelerators (e.g., AI200), commercial CPUs (Dragonfly C1000), custom silicon, and connectivity solutions. While these initiatives initially boosted its stock, concerns over AI capital expenditure sustainability have since erased those gains. The company targets $5B in data center revenue for FY2027 and $15B for FY2029. The report concludes that with the traditional handset business still under pressure, the data center opportunity is currently viewed as a longer-term option, and a more conservative valuation based on core operations may be warranted until AI contributions materialize.

From TPU to Self-Evolving Agents: How Jeff Dean Predicts the Next Step in AI

At the 2026 YC Startup School, Jeff Dean outlined his vision for AI's next phase, shifting focus from simply scaling models to building intelligent, autonomous systems. He believes AI's progress is no longer just about creating smarter models, but about integrating them into systems capable of long-term, iterative work, automated experimentation, and continuous learning. This evolution moves the competition from "who has the bigger model" to "who can best organize intelligence." Dean suggests AI capabilities are now comparable to a junior engineer, enabling the automation of complex workflows. However, the true challenge and opportunity lie in managing these AI "workers" at scale. He emphasizes the importance of **context engineering**—structuring tools, memory, and feedback loops—over raw model power. For startups, this means building deep expertise in niche domains where general models currently fail (near 0-1% success rates), leveraging proprietary data, specialized tools, and domain-specific evaluators. A recurring theme is re-examining fundamental constraints. Dean's past work, like moving Google's search index to memory or creating the TPU, stemmed from questioning outdated assumptions about hardware and cost. He sees similar inflection points today, particularly in **specialized inference hardware** to drastically reduce latency and energy consumption for real-time Agent operation. Notably, he points out that in modern AI systems, the dominant cost is often not computation but **data movement**. Reliable, long-running Agents require robust system design, borrowing concepts from distributed computing like checkpointing, state management, and parallel exploration to handle failures and maintain progress over days or weeks. As AI automates execution, the scarcest human skills will shift to **defining clear specifications**, **judging what problems are worth solving** (taste), and designing effective feedback loops. Ultimately, Dean's framework prioritizes understanding the problem deeply, identifying the true bottlenecks, and systematically building closed-loop systems where AI can not only perform tasks but also improve AI itself.
