While the most popular analyst narrative suggests it's 10% overvalued at CA$257.88 compared to a fair value of CA$233.68, Simply Wall St's Discounted Cash Flow model indicates it might be slightly undervalued at CA$267.13.

Bybit is adding 24/7 FX perpetuals to the account structure it uses for crypto derivatives, while keeping them separate from its MetaTrader 5-based CFD service. The exchange listed perpetual contracts on EURUSDUSDT, GBPUSDUSDT and USDJPYUSDT on Tuesday. Each product offers leverage of up to 100x and tracks the corresponding spot currency pair without an expiry date. New TradFi Forex Perpetual Contract Listing: $EURUSDUSDT , $GBPUSDUSDT and $USDJPYUSDT are now live on Bybit! 🚀 Trade $EUR /USD: https://t.co/JqZBqPdQDw Trade $GBP /USD: https://t.co/pI8npM1m92 Trade $USD /JPY: https://t.co/0DSpToerv9 pic.twitter.com/9EDKZzPWOF — Bybit (@Bybit_Official) September 8, 2026 FX Exposure with Crypto Collateral The contracts settle in USDT and trade through Bybit’s Unified Trading Account , allowing users to keep the positions inside the same account environment as crypto derivatives. Bybit said the contracts can be traded 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including when the underlying spot FX market is closed. The exchange presents that schedule as a way for traders to respond to central-bank statements, geopolitical developments and other macro events outside conventional currency-market hours. However, the initial contract specifications do not identify the price data sources or explain how the reference price will be handled while the underlying market is closed. Bybit said it may adjust parameters including leverage, margin rates, funding rates and price sources. The products can be used for directional trading or to hedge currency exposure while retaining crypto collateral. As perpetual contracts , they use recurring funding payments to keep their prices aligned with the underlying markets rather than settling on a fixed expiry date. Separate from Bybit’s MT5 CFDs The new listings expand Bybit’s native TradFi Perpetuals range, which already includes contracts linked to precious metals, oil and major company shares. These products operate through the existing Unified Trading Account and remain available continuously. They are distinct from Bybit CFD, the service previously branded as Bybit TradFi. The CFD offering uses a dedicated MT5 account and follows the trading hours of its underlying markets. It provides more than 70 FX pairs and over 400 instruments, with leverage of up to 500x on currencies. Bybit joins a limited group of crypto exchanges offering FX perpetuals. Kraken introduced five such contracts in April 2025 with leverage of up to 50x and prices benchmarked to dxFeed composite indices. Traditional FX operator LMAX Group moved in the opposite direction in September 2025, launching USD-settled BTC/USD and ETH/USD perpetual futures. Bybit’s addition instead brings established currency pairs into crypto’s perpetual-contract and collateral model. This article was written by Tanya Chepkova at www.financemagnates.com.
Russia’s largest trading venue, Moscow Exchange (MOEX), announced the upcoming launch of 20 new perpetual futures contracts linked to major U.S.-listed companies. The underlying assets for the new derivatives are MOEX-calculated price fixings for foreign securities, including Tesla, Amazon, Netflix, Apple, AMD, Robinhood and Coinbase . While the fixings are denominated in U.S. dollars, all settlements on the exchange will be conducted in Russian rubles, without requiring transactions in foreign jurisdictions. Trading will begin in two stages, on September 8 and September 15, 2026. Demand for Perpetual Futures Grows According to MOEX data, open interest in perpetual contracts has grown 36% year over year, exceeding 450 billion rubles (approximately $6 billion). More than 60,000 clients trade these instruments monthly. “These new instruments allow professional market participants and their clients to participate in the price dynamics of popular American companies without the need to purchase the underlying assets or conduct operations in external jurisdictions,” the exchange stated in an official release. Maria Patrikeeva, Managing Director of the Derivatives Market at Moscow Exchange, said the current lineup of 11 perpetual futures on currencies, indices, precious metals and stocks is increasingly popular with both institutional players and retail investors. “The launch of an additional 20 perpetual futures will significantly expand the range of investment strategies available to our clients and contribute to further liquidity growth in the Russian derivatives market ,” Patrikeeva added. MOEX Relies on Its Own Fixings Last month, the exchange introduced similar perpetual contracts tracking major U.S. benchmarks, including SPY and QQQ ETFs, which track the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 indices, respectively. MOEX has been calculating its own fixings for foreign securities since July 2026. The platform now uses them as reference prices for the new derivatives, offering ruble-settled contracts linked to U.S. shares without trading the underlying assets directly.

Summary Starbucks has reportedly been working with advisers on a possible proposal to acquire Chipotle Mexican GrillThe coffee giant’s market value is close to triple Chipotle’s, though analysts warn a deal could strain its finances mid-turnaroundNeither company has confirmed the talks, and it is unclear whether a formal offer will follow Starbucks is reportedly exploring a takeover of Chipotle Mexican Grill, according to the Financial Times. The coffee chain has spent recent months consulting advisers on a potential proposal for the fast-casual brand, which carries a valuation of nearly $39 billion USD. Neither company has publicly addressed the reported discussions. On paper, the size gap is significant. Starbucks holds a market capitalization of roughly $107 billion USD, making it around 2.7 times larger than its potential target. Even so, swallowing a company of Chipotle’s scale would not come cheap, and financing is already emerging as the central question. “A deal could require heavy borrowing or issuing shares,” said Lale Akoner, global market strategist at eToro. “Without a compelling financial case, investors may view the deal as an expensive distraction.”The footprint numbers tell a different story. Chipotle closed out 2025 with close to 4,000 restaurants in the US and only about 100 abroad, while Starbucks operates approximately 40,000 stores globally. That imbalance is the core of the bullish case. Northcoast Research analyst Jim Sanderson pointed to Starbucks’ licensed partnerships in Europe as a potential launchpad for pushing Chipotle overseas at a much faster clip. Markets reacted quickly. Chipotle stock rose about 6% on Thursday, October 8, after the report surfaced, while Starbucks shares slipped roughly 3%. The bump offers some relief for Chipotle, whose share price has fallen by almost half since Niccol exited in 2024, a stretch marked by softer foot traffic and climbing food and labor costs. Starbucks’ own metrics show a turnaround still in progress. Niccol took over as CEO in September 2024 after six years at the helm of Chipotle, where he steered the brand through its food safety fallout and built out its digital ordering arm. At Starbucks, his strategy has centered on shorter waits, better staffing and refreshed stores, backed by a labor commitment of at least $500 million USD that has weighed on margins. The company has now posted four straight quarters of comparable sales growth, though Niccol conceded in July that the job is not yet done. For now, the numbers remain hypothetical. Both chains are contending with higher operating expenses and more cautious consumer spending, and until either side confirms the talks or a formal offer materializes, the deal exists only as a report.
