Berkshire Hathaway has eliminated its Amazon position and grown its Alphabet stake more than sixfold under new CEO Greg Abel.

Abel moved quickly on the conglomerate’s roughly $358 billion investment portfolio after Warren Buffett retired as CEO on December 31st, 2025.

In the first quarter, Berkshire trimmed six holdings and sent 16 others packing, including Amazon, which the firm first bought in early 2019 and which had advanced roughly 150% to 200% over the holding period.

The sales followed the December exit of longtime portfolio manager Todd Combs for JPMorgan Chase, and Abel cut predominantly non-core positions Combs had overseen.

Between December 31st, 2025, and September 25th, Berkshire’s Alphabet stake grew from $5.59 billion to $36.37 billion as Abel treated Google’s parent much as Buffett once treated Apple.

Alphabet benefits from Google’s greater-than-91% share of global internet search and YouTube advertising revenue.

Google Cloud, the world’s No. 3 cloud infrastructure platform, delivered an 82% year-over-year sales jump in the June-ended quarter on artificial intelligence demand.

A New Jersey man has been sentenced to more than two years in federal prison after using forged U.S. passport cards to withdraw money from victims’ bank accounts in Florida and South Carolina.

Michael Scott Hillwig, 59, of Camden, New Jersey, was sentenced April 7th in the Northern District of Florida for bank fraud, aggravated identity theft, and false use or forgery of a passport, says the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

In May 2023, he unlawfully obtained victims’ names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers and passport card numbers, then created fraudulent U.S. passport cards with his photograph and the victims’ identifying information.

He traveled to financial institutions in South Carolina and Florida locations including Bonifay, Niceville and Winter Garden, presenting victims’ Social Security numbers and the fake passport cards to make withdrawals.

Says U.S. Attorney John P. Heekin,

“It is of vital importance to raise awareness about the vulnerability of our personal identifying information online, which fraudsters relentlessly pursue as they seek to enrich themselves by exploiting their victims. As this defendant has learned, my office is just as relentless in our pursuit of criminals like him, and we aggressively prosecute such frauds to the fullest extent to achieve justice for the victims of these crimes.”

Hillwig will serve more than two years in prison followed by three years of supervised release and must pay restitution to victims.

The case was investigated by the U.S. Department of State’s Diplomatic Security Service, Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office and Holmes County Sheriff’s Office.

class=”ql-align-center”>Earn Stocks turns supported Coinbase Tokenized Stocks into productive collateral through transparent, rule-based strategies automated by SuperformOS.

Superform today announced the activation of Earn Stocks on Base, powered by Aave. The rollout begins with superNVDA, with additional Mag 7 SuperStocks to follow: superTSLA, superMSFT, superMETA, superAAPL, superAMZN, and superGOOGL.

Tokenization brought familiar assets onchain. It did not make those assets productive. SuperStocks is Superform’s family of products built on supported tokenized equities, and Earn Stocks is the strategy layer that puts the assets inside those products to work through defined, transparent mandates. 

Each SuperStock posts a supported Coinbase Tokenized Stock as collateral in Aave V4’s Equities Hub on Base and borrows USDC. The strategy programmatically deploys the borrowed USDC through venues permitted by its mandate when expected returns clear borrowing and execution costs, liquidity requirements, and a risk buffer.

“Tokenization is not the end product. The bigger opportunity is turning onchain assets into financial products without passing the complexity of collateral, credit, and execution to the user,” said Vikram Arun, Co-Founder and CEO of Superform. “SuperformOS is the infrastructure that makes that possible, and Earn Stocks shows it in action.”

There is clear demand for equities to do more onchain. During pre-deposit, superNVDA attracted nearly 10% of all NVDAc issued on Base. 

SuperformOS automates rule-based LTV management, debt, accounting, monitoring, repayment, redemption, and unwind across both legs of the strategy.

“Tokenized stocks have significant potential as onchain collateral, and Aave V4 on Base was built to serve that use case, allowing eligible users outside the U.S. to borrow USDC against supported Coinbase Tokenized Stocks. SuperStocks extends that credit primitive with an automated onchain Earn strategy, a unique product we expect to grow alongside tokenized stocks on Aave V4,” said Luigi D’Onorio DeMeo, Chief Strategy and Business Officer at Aave Labs.“Coinbase Tokenized Stocks passed $1.5B in onchain volume on Base in 6 weeks. That tells you the demand is there,” said Antonio García Martínez, Head of Growth, Base. “The bigger question is what a stock can do once it’s onchain: serve as collateral, back a loan, earn. Superform is one of the first to put a real answer in front of users.”

Earn Stocks is initially available to eligible users through superNVDA. Additional SuperStocks will be activated in phases.

NVIDIA, Tesla, SpaceX, Microsoft, Amazon and Alphabet are among more than 60 prominent US stocks that could soon be available for 24/7 tokenized trading.

OKXICE, the joint venture between crypto exchange OKX and the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Sunday, notifying the regulator of plans to launch a marketplace for investors to buy tokenized stocks.

Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, OKXICE’s co-chair, says the firms plan to launch the trading venue under the SEC’s new “innovation exemption.”

“This is a landmark step toward a truly global, 24/7 Wall Street — and toward keeping the future of digital finance anchored here in the United States.

The digital asset revolution is already transforming our financial system. Tokenized securities are part of what comes next.”

Cuomo has advised OKX on policy matters since 2022, including during the exchange’s $504 million settlement with the Department of Justice (DOJ) over anti-money-laundering violations.

ICE, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), has made a broad push into crypto infrastructure, including investments in OKX and the prediction market Polymarket, as well as its participation in stablecoin platform Circle’s $222 million Arc presale alongside BlackRock and Apollo.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is proposing new crypto market regulations after the Clarity Act detonated in the Senate.

The regulator’s proposed rules would establish requirements for CFTC-registered crypto exchanges, though CFTC Chairman Michael Selig notes in a new Wall Street Journal Op-Ed that these regulations wouldn’t have the same impact as the Clarity Act.

“Unlike the Clarity Act, these regulations wouldn’t require crypto assets to trade on CFTC-registered platforms. We don’t have the authority to impose such a requirement without Congressional action. However, the rules would establish a purpose-fit option for crypto-asset exchanges that wish to operate under a single federal market-regulatory scheme. Unlike state-licensed exchanges, these exchanges would be permitted to allow retail customers to trade on a margined, leveraged or financed basis. Such platforms are distinct from ordinary spot-trading venues and are squarely within the CFTC’s regulatory jurisdiction.”

The CFTC says it is asking for public comment on ways to prevent abusive practices in crypto asset markets.

The Clarity Act would have largely placed digital assets under the regulatory purview of the CFTC, an agency industry stakeholders believe is friendlier to the sector than the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

In September, the bill failed to reach the necessary 60-vote threshold on a cloture motion that would have allowed debate on the legislation to move forward.

Multi-chain stablecoin wallet combines simpler transfers, flexible gas-fee options, security features, and practical use cases with one ambition: to become the world’s easiest stablecoin wallet.

Changer+ today announced the launch of its self-custodial stablecoin wallet, built to make holding, moving and using stablecoins simpler.

Changer+ supports major stablecoins including USDT and USDC across Ethereum, TRON, BNB Chain and Solana, with more networks and stablecoins planned.

To celebrate its launch, Changer+ is offering new users three free transactions per device on each chain – Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain from October 6 to November 6, 2026.

Changer+ is built around a simple belief: people should not need to understand every blockchain, gas token, or transaction mechanic just to use the stablecoins they already have.

Stablecoins Should Just Work

Using stablecoins can still mean figuring out which network a token is on, choosing the right transfer route, sourcing a separate gas token, and navigating unfamiliar transaction steps. Changer+ is designed to move more of that complexity into the background.

“People should not have to become blockchain experts just to use stablecoins,” said Leon Gao, CEO of Changer+, with over a decade of experience in product development in the fintech and payment industry “The technology underneath can stay sophisticated. What users see should feel simple, clear and dependable.”

Simplicity Without Giving Up Control

Making stablecoins easier to use should not mean taking control away from the user.

Changer+ is self-custodial, meaning users retain control of their private keys and authorize their own transactions.

For Yun Han Wong, CGO of Changer+, who has spent years working in Web3, preserving that principle is fundamental to trust.

“Trust is everything in Web3,” Yun Han said. “The early crypto idea of ‘being your own bank’ was really about ownership — having control over your own assets instead of simply handing that control to another intermediary.”“We want to preserve that ethos while making stablecoins much easier to use. Convenience should not mean giving up control.”

Technology and Security Built around the User

Changer+ is designed to remove common friction from everyday stablecoin use.

On supported transactions, Changer+ lets users cover network-related transaction costs without first having to acquire the blockchain’s native gas token. 

For example, a user holding stablecoins does not necessarily need to separately acquire ETH, TRX, BNB, or SOL before completing a supported transaction. 

Changer+ has also completed an independent security audit, vulnerability assessment, and penetration testing (VAPT) conducted by Echo Pulse, a CREST-accredited and Singapore-licensed cybersecurity service provider. 

These capabilities are led by Zack Chen, CTO of Changer+, an NUS-trained technopreneur with years of software development experience overseeing Changer+’s multi-chain architecture and security development.

“Good engineering should reduce the complexity users have to manage while keeping the experience clear and reliable,” Zack said.

Making Stablecoins More Useful

Changer+ goes beyond holding and transferring stablecoins by giving users more ways to put them to practical use.

Current capabilities include global eSIM data plans, a lifestyle ticket marketplace, and security risk signals that help users identify suspicious activity and potentially unsafe addresses, with more use cases planned.

“Our ambition is not to build another wallet people download and forget,” Leon said. “We want to make the whole stablecoin experience easier — from holding and transferring to actually using them.”

As stablecoins increasingly move beyond crypto trading into payments, remittances and everyday digital commerce, the experience of using them remains fragmented across networks and wallets. 

Changer+ was built to close that usability gap. 

Backed by a private family office, Changer+ is taking a long-term approach to building the product. Rather than centering the platform around a project token or speculative rewards, the company is focused on usability, self-custody, security, and practical stablecoin utility. 

“Stablecoins should just work,” Yun Han added. “Fewer unnecessary crypto steps, more useful things you can do with them, and the user stays in control.”

Changer+ is available on iOS and Android.
