An excerpt from the report reads:

"SBI VC Trade, which became a subsidiary of SBI SECURITIES from July of this year, has continued its steady performance, and SBI Crypto, which performs crypto-asset mining, has maintained its profitability.

Long Blockchain Corp. (OTC:LBCC) has entered into a non-binding letter of intent to merge with private comprehensive branding and incentive solutions-provider Stran Promotional Solutions. Andy Shape, CEO and a director of LBCC as well as the President of Stran, commented:

"We're excited to expand Stran's visibility through this proposed transaction.

Messaging company Telegram has debuted a test app desktop wallet for its gram token. According to a report from CoinDesk, users can "get testnet grams from a special Telegram bot, asking it to send from 5 to 20 tokens". The TON blockchain project, which raised $1.7 billion via token sale, was due to launch on October 31, but was prevented when the U.S. Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC) "deemed grams to be unregistered securities and asked the court to prevent Telegram from delivering tokens to investors".
