Australia to expand regulation of crypto-settled derivatives, limit leverage and losses

Australia\'s securities regulator is moving to apply leverage caps and loss limits to some derivatives settled in cryptocurrency. The Australian Securities and Investments Commission proposed amendments to extend consumer protections under contracts for difference rules to certain digital-asset settlement contracts. Some fixed-maturity crypto futures and options would remain outside the CFD regime. ASIC will take submissions until Nov. 9, with final rules potentially adjusted after industry feedback.

AI is changing motorsports by analysing radio traffic and finding crash traces

AI is being used in motorsports as a technical tool to improve vehicle performance, not just as a sponsor. Chip Ganassi Racing worked with OpenAI researchers this year to optimise car setups by analysing sensor and race data to support engineers’ decisions. AI use is spreading across the sport, with General Motors analysing radio communications and trackside images, and IBM and Dallara exploring faster aerodynamics simulations.

Desktop GPU prices may rise again. What to buy now and which models to consider

Expectations are growing that desktop GPU prices could rise again in the second half of 2026, driven by higher video memory prices and price adjustments in regional distribution networks. Japan distributor CFD warned of possible price increases for Gigabyte graphics cards of 20 to 40 percent. Prices for 16GB models have risen more than smaller-memory products, while some midrange models such as RTX 5070 and Radeon RX 9070 have been relatively stable.
