Billionaire CEO: AI is "the biggest bubble of our lifetime," But investors should keep buying during the melt-up.

Billionaire CEO: AI is "the biggest bubble of our lifetime," But investors should keep buying during the melt-up. A billionaire CEO is openly calling AI the biggest bubble of his lifetime and still urging investors to pile in. His reasoning involves a 1997 comparison, a specific set of warning signals, and a view that the most dangerous part... A crypto executive and former hedge fund manager is calling artificial intelligence the "biggest bubble of our lifetime" and telling investors to stay in. Mike Novogratz, founder and CEO of Galaxy Digital (NASDAQ:GLXY | GLXY Price Prediction), whose net worth Forbes estimates at $4.3 billion, made the remark on a panel at the Greenwich Economic Forum in Greenwich, Connecticut, in early October. Bloomberg's account, republished by The Star, says he urged investors to pile in. Conditions at the time, as Bloomberg reported them: AI-linked gains pushed the S&P 500 Index to a record that day, and NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) saw its market value approach $6 trillion. Why Novogratz says this bubble still has room. According to Bloomberg, Novogratz says he knows how bubbles end. They end spectacularly, and he says this one is not spectacular enough yet. In his view, AI-linked stocks still look cheap on a price-to-earnings basis. He sees rising long-term borrowing costs as a headwind that falls short of stopping the rally. He also notes that competition with China makes it unlikely regulators or the industry will slow AI development, since both U.S. parties see the race as existential. That is his opinion. His "keep buying" case combines a call to buy in with patience. Melt-Up numbers behind the AI trade. "Melt-up" is our word for it. Novogratz did not use it. The term describes a fast, record-setting rally driven by investors piling in, which fits a record S&P 500 and NVIDIA approaching $6 trillion. NVIDIA's market value now stands at $5.21 trillion. Spending is driving the move. In its fiscal second-quarter release, NVIDIA reported revenue of $96.22B (+105.8% YoY) and guided to $108.0B +/- 2% for the third quarter. Management said "NVIDIA Compute is fully utilized across every cloud we serve" and expects top-five hyperscaler capex of $1.3 trillion in 2027. Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) spent $115.95B on capex in fiscal 2026, and its CFO said "customer demand continues to exceed available capacity." NVIDIA trades at about 43 times trailing earnings. Microsoft trades at about 29. His 1997 comparison and warning signs. He appeared on the Oct. 12 episode of "Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin." A summary of the episode says he compared today to 1997 and sees no clear sign of a peak. According to that summary, the warning signs he watches are stocks and the dollar falling together, spiking bond yields, and foreign selling of Treasuries. Free Report, Just Released Why Didn't MSFT Make The Top 10 List? 24/7 Wall St has helped investors make money for over two decades, and our top analysts just finished ranking the definitive Top 10 Stocks To Buy Now. Not the ten biggest companies. Not the ten everyone is arguing about. The ten best stocks to buy right now. And MSFT didn't make the cut! The report is free, and you can see why we think each stock is a top investment today. Skeptics and believers both argue against selling. Ray Dalio, speaking at a Singapore conference on Oct. 7, said rising interest rates and investors' need to convert wealth into cash are bringing an AI bubble closer to collapsing. DBS chief investment officer Hou Wey Fook challenged the bubble view, saying NVIDIA's earnings multiple sits near its lowest since 2016. Crypto Briefing reported that he projects 70% earnings growth for NVIDIA next year. Gavin Baker, managing partner and CIO of Atreides Management, made a year-old argument at Andreessen Horowitz's Runtime conference, published in October 2025, that AI does not qualify as a bubble. Baker says 97% of fiber laid in America was "dark" (never lit) at the 2000 peak, while today's GPUs are fully used. Novogratz sees a bubble and Baker sees none, yet both notes against selling. Riding a mania is fine if you plan the exit, which is the whole point of our free bubble survivor's handbook. What changed since the panel. The September CPI report, released Oct. 14, showed prices up 3.7% from a year earlier, above the 3.6% expected, per Fox Business. Fox Business reported that the S&P 500 fell about 0.95% and the Nasdaq about 1.42% in morning trading. That day, Fox Business put CME FedWatch odds of a 25-basis-point increase at the Fed's Oct. 27-28 meeting at 41.5%, up from 22.1%. NVIDIA is down 6.05% over the past week. Rising yields and falling stocks are two of the signals Novogratz says he tracks. Signals to track before the Fed meets. The Fed's late-October meeting is the next test. After that, watch long-term bond yields, whether stocks and the dollar start falling together, and foreign demand for Treasuries. The man calling AI the "biggest bubble of our lifetime" says the bubble isn't over, and he has named the signals he expects to show up first if it is ending. Got $1,000?

Galaxy plans to expand its presence in Japan, intends to appoint Shingo Ide as Chief Partnership Officer for Japan.

Galaxy plans to expand its presence in Japan, intends to appoint Shingo Ide as Chief Partnership Officer for Japan. NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, October 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ - Christopher Ferraro, President and Chief Investment Officer of global digital asset and financial services company Galaxy Digital Inc. (GLXY, hereinafter "Galaxy"), recently held in-depth discussions with Japanese market research veteran Shingo Ide on developments in Japan's financial markets, institutional partnerships, and long-term opportunities in the digital asset industry. Under the proposed partnership, Galaxy intends to appoint Ide as Chief Partnership Officer for Japan to help expand the company's local partnership network and support its long-term development in the market. Focusing on Japan and Strengthening International Financial Cooperation Japan is one of Asia's leading financial centers, with mature capital markets, a broad institutional investor base, and a well-established financial regulatory framework. As financial technology and the digital asset industry continue to develop, Japan is becoming an increasingly important market for international financial institutions. Headquartered in New York, Galaxy operates across global markets, asset management, and digital infrastructure, working to strengthen connections between traditional finance and digital asset markets. The proposed partnership aims to combine Galaxy's international financial expertise with Ide's deep understanding of Japan's capital markets. It seeks to expand institutional partnerships, connect financial industry resources, and create more opportunities for engagement with professional investors, laying the groundwork for Galaxy to explore opportunities in Japan. Proposed Japan Chief Partnership Officer Role to Support Collaboration Across Multiple Areas Under the partnership framework currently being discussed, Ide would primarily assist Galaxy in strengthening relationships with Japanese financial institutions, asset management firms, professional investors, and relevant industry partners. The collaboration would focus on connecting institutional resources, investor education, capital market research, dialogue between digital asset and traditional financial businesses, and cross-border financial cooperation. Both parties hope to establish ongoing communication channels that bring international financial services expertise together with local market needs, gradually exploring partnership models suited to Japan. Christopher Ferraro: Recognizing Japan's Long-Term Partnership Potential Ferraro said Japan is one of the world's major financial markets, supported by a mature financial sector, a sophisticated investor base, and a growing financial technology ecosystem. He noted that Galaxy recognizes Japan's long-term development potential and hopes to strengthen its relationships with local financial institutions, investors, and industry partners by working with professionals who understand the country's capital markets. As digital financial technologies continue to evolve globally, Galaxy also hopes to encourage professional dialogue between traditional finance and the digital asset sector and explore additional international partnerships with long-term value. Shingo Ide: Connecting Global Financial Expertise With Japan's Market Needs Ide said the discussions would center on long-term value and professional development. He hopes to combine Galaxy's experience in global digital assets, asset management, and institutional financial services with his own years of capital market research and industry engagement in Japan to foster a closer partnership. He noted that Japan's financial markets have a strong professional foundation and considerable potential for international cooperation. Through engagement with financial institutions, investor education, and collaborative market research, he hopes to create more opportunities for Japanese investors to learn about global capital markets and developments in digital finance. Looking Ahead: Continuing to Develop Partnerships in Japan The proposed partnership reflects Galaxy's continued interest in Japan's financial markets and broader opportunities for collaboration across Asia. Galaxy plans to continue engaging with local professionals and financial institutions on institutional partnerships, capital market research, investor education, and digital financial innovation as it explores frameworks for long-term cooperation. The parties are still working on the proposed arrangements. Any appointment, scope of responsibilities, and partnership plans remain subject to formal confirmation. As global financial markets and digital technologies become increasingly interconnected, Galaxy hopes to deepen international cooperation, expand its global financial services network, and strengthen professional dialogue between Japan and international capital markets.

Umia raises $6 million to build the onchain formation platform for token-native projects, joined by Galaxy Ventures, DCG and Draper Associates.

Umia raises $6 million to build the onchain formation platform for token-native projects, joined by Galaxy Ventures, DCG and Draper Associates. 05 Oct, 2026, 22:45 IST Most tokens have no formal link to the business behind them: its IP, revenue and treasury usually sit in a separate entity. Umia places all three in one legal structure alongside the token, with treasury decisions made through onchain decision markets. NEW YORK, Oct. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Umia (umia.finance), the onchain platform for launching, funding and governing projects, today announced it has raised $6 million through the auction of $UMIA, the first token launched through its own system. Ten funds and nearly 700 individual bidders took part in the seven-day sale, which ran on Base from August 26 to September 2 and opened with a three-day early round for vetted funds and zkTLS-verified community members. The public round then reached its cap seven minutes after opening on August 29, and the sale closed at more than 3x its $2 million minimum. Galaxy Ventures, DCG, Draper Associates, RenGen, Alpha EV, Maven 11 and Eon Capital were among the funds, all bidding on the same terms as every other participant, with no discounts. "Serious teams have never had a way to launch a token that is actually tied to the project behind it, so we put our own token through our system first," said Francesco Mosterts, Co-Founder of Umia. "The result is a framework we believe will change how projects are funded, launched and governed." Umia itself now operates under the same structure every project on the platform will use. Its IP, operating team and treasury sit within one legal wrapper, funds raised went into a non-custodial treasury rather than a team wallet, and board-level decisions go through decision markets. Those decisions are made through futarchy: each proposal opens a conditional market per option, and participants trade on each option's expected impact. The option the markets value highest is the one executed. Umia's first decision market went live on September 17, asking traders how to deploy $4.77 million of treasury USDC into lending protocols on Base. Three strategies competed against a do-nothing baseline, and the winning strategy, allocating to Aave and Steakhouse, has since been executed. "Onchain capital formation typically means choosing between a fair mechanism and a credible structure," said James Kibbie, Investor at Galaxy Ventures. "Umia's auction mechanism pairs the two: a clearing process that treats funds and individuals identically, and a legal and treasury framework that gives the token a defined relationship with the project behind it." With the full stack now live, the first external projects are expected to launch through Umia in Q4 2026, subject to onboarding and legal review. Timelines are indicative and may change. Umia is built by the team behind Chainbound, an Ethereum research and development lab with more than four years of experience designing core EVM infrastructure, including work with Flashbots and the Ethereum Foundation. Co-Founder and CEO Francesco Mosterts previously worked at Point72, and Co-Founder and CTO Nicolas Racchi previously built DeFi protocols and Ethereum infrastructure. The wider team also includes specialists in trading, governance, growth and operations. About Umia Umia is a full-stack platform for launching, funding and governing projects onchain. Each project launched through Umia operates within a single legal wrapper, with its intellectual property, operating team and treasury under one structure and board-level decisions delegated to onchain decision markets. $UMIA, Umia's own token, was the first launched through the system. Umia is incubated by Chainbound. Learn more at umia.finance, docs.umia.finance and x.com/umia_finance.
