Business briefing — November 11, 2026.

Major banks commit $270 million to planned stablecoin venture

A consortium of 21 financial institutions, including Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Santander and Deutsche Bank, has committed about $270 million to operating costs for a planned U.S.-incorporated stablecoin issuer, according to Bloomberg, as reported in the supplied record. The group aims to launch a dollar-backed token in the first half of 2027, but has not announced a ticker, blockchain, reserve custodian or final launch date. The reported commitment is for operations, not the reserves backing tokens in circulation.

What changed The effort has progressed from ten banks exploring digital money in October 2025 to 21 institutions planning a dedicated issuer by September 2026.

Why it matters For participating institutions, this is a commitment to fund an issuer's development and operations—not evidence that $270 million of customer tokens is ready to circulate.

What to watch next Regulatory permissions and evidence of commercial demand remain unresolved launch requirements; the first-half 2027 target is not a confirmed launch date.

Anthropic files $70–$78 IPO range for 825 million shares

Anthropic’s amended registration statement sets a $70 to $78 price range for 825 million Class A shares and proposes a Nasdaq listing under the ticker ANT. CNBC, citing people familiar with the plans, reported pricing on November 18 and trading on November 19, but those dates are not stated in the filing. The filing also describes a concurrent $26 billion private placement to strategic buyers; its basic share count implies a valuation of about $916 billion to $1.02 trillion across the range, according to the report’s calculations.

What changed The November 10 amendment adds a price range after the October 26 public filing and November 2 amendment, moving the offering toward marketing rather than establishing a binding trading date.

Why it matters Prospective public shareholders would receive voting shares without control of the board: a special trust share carries the right to elect a majority of directors.

What to watch next CNBC reports expected pricing on November 18 and trading the next day. Those dates remain unfiled, and SEC effectiveness is still required.

eToro targets $100 million in Latin American revenue after Argentine acquisition

eToro CEO Yoni Assia told analysts the company is targeting $100 million in Latin American revenue within two to three years, with Argentine investment and payments app LB Finanzas as its regional base. CFO Meron Shani said the acquisition price was below $20 million and would not be material to eToro’s balance sheet. Assia said eToro would slow its acquisition pace to integrate recent deals; the company reported third-quarter net income down 74% year over year.

Why it matters The planned purchase would give eToro an Argentine platform combining local-currency accounts, dollar accounts and investments under local supervision—a practical base for regional expansion rather than just a new marketing presence.

What to watch next TradeZero is expected to close in the first half of 2027. Management says more active and leveraged US portfolios would follow that closing, making completion a product-expansion dependency.

CoreWeave raises 2026 revenue guidance after quarterly sales jump 168%

CoreWeave reported third-quarter revenue of $3.66 billion, up 168% year over year, and raised its 2026 revenue guidance to $13.0 billion–$13.3 billion. Its net loss widened to $709 million from $110 million a year earlier, while net interest expense rose to $846 million. The company reported a $132.5 billion revenue backlog as of September 30; its shares closed at $48.73 Tuesday and rose in after-hours trading, though reports cited different gains.

What changed Quarterly net interest expense rose from $310 million to $846 million year over year, showing that the cost of financing data-centre construction has grown sharply alongside sales.

Why it matters Existing shareholders face potential dilution alongside the growing financing bill: CoreWeave has established a programme that could sell up to 35 million additional Class A shares.

What to watch next CoreWeave expects about $9 billion in customer prepayments and deposits over the next three months; receipt of that funding is a concrete cash-flow milestone, not a completed inflow.

Deutsche Bank launches crypto custody for institutional clients

Deutsche Bank’s crypto custody service has gone live for paying clients after BaFin authorization, the bank told Reuters. At launch it supports Bitcoin, Ether and three stablecoins or e-money tokens, and is aimed at corporate and institutional clients rather than retail customers. The bank’s MiCA register entry covers custody and transfer services across 30 EEA states; it does not authorize exchange, execution or order-reception services.

What changed The authorization's geographic scope expanded from Germany in the September register to all 30 EEA states in the October 30 release, broadening the bank's potential client market.

Why it matters Institutional customers can outsource wallet and private-key management instead of building their own custody infrastructure; the launch supplies safekeeping, not a full trading service.

What to watch next The bank says it wants to extend the offering to Asia, but the source gives no launch date. That remains an expansion intention rather than a scheduled rollout.

SEC reports 348 enforcement actions in fiscal 2026, down from 456

The SEC said it filed 348 enforcement actions in fiscal 2026, compared with 456 the previous year. Of 235 standalone actions, 45 targeted entities the agency accused of filing false registration forms to pose as U.S. investment advisers; excluding those cases, standalone actions fell to 190 from 303, according to the report’s calculation. The SEC reported $1.095 billion in monetary relief orders, including $343 million in civil penalties, and $731 million returned to harmed investors.

What changed The decline extended beyond the unusual fake-adviser cases: broker-dealer actions fell from 39 to 16, while issuer-reporting and audit cases fell from 36 to 23.

Why it matters For harmed investors, distributions improved despite the decline in case counts: the SEC returned $731 million, compared with $262 million in fiscal 2025. Enforcement volume alone therefore does not describe the year's compensation outcome.
