Pictures Key Facts “One Battle After Another” boasts a nearly perfect 97 out of a possible 100 on Metacritic based on its first 31 reviews, making it the highest-rated movie of this decade on Metacritic’s best movies of all time list. The movie also has a 96% score on Rotten Tomatoes based on the first 56 reviews, with only two reviews considered “rotten,” or negative. The Associated Press hailed the movie as “an American masterpiece,” noting the movie touches on topical political themes and depicts a society where “gun violence, white power and immigrant deportations recur in an ongoing dance, both farcical and tragic.” The movie stars DiCaprio as an ex-revolutionary who reunites with former accomplices to rescue his 16-year-old daughter when she goes missing, and Anderson has said the movie was inspired by the 1990 novel, “Vineland.” Most critics have described the movie as an action thriller with notable chase scenes, which jumps in time from DiCaprio’s character’s early days with fictional revolutionary group, the French 75, to about 15 years later, when he is pursued by foe and military leader Captain Steven Lockjaw, played by Sean Penn. The Warner Bros.-produced film was made on a big budget, estimated to be between $130 million and $175 million, and co-stars Penn, Benicio del Toro, Regina Hall and Teyana Taylor.

The post DBS Bank to accept tokenized $736M fund for repo collateral as RLUSD goes live on DDEx appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ripple is expanding its role in digital asset infrastructure through a new partnership with DBS Bank and Franklin Templeton, according to a Sept. 18 announcement. According to the firm, the collaboration introduces trading and lending tools built around tokenized collateral and stablecoins, marking a push to bridge traditional markets with blockchain-based liquidity. The initiative is anchored on DBS Digital Exchange (DDEx), which will now list Ripple’s US dollar stablecoin (RLUSD) alongside sgBENJI, the tokenized version of Franklin Templeton’s OnChain US Dollar Short-Term Money Market Fund. This pairing allows institutional clients to exchange stable assets directly, providing both portfolio flexibility and yield opportunities not typically available in volatile crypto markets. Instead of allocating funds to Bitcoin, Ethereum, or XRP, where sharp price movements arguably erode value, clients can rotate into sgBENJI and maintain round-the-clock liquidity. These firms’ executives have framed this development as a step forward in institutionalizing tokenized securities. Ripple President Monica Long noted that tokenized assets must offer utility and liquid secondary markets to achieve their potential. She pointed to this collaboration as an example of how stablecoins and tokenized funds can work together to provide practical financial infrastructure. Franklin Templeton to expand to XRP Ledger Franklin Templeton is preparing to expand its token interoperability by launching sgBENJI on the XRP Ledger. Roger Bayston, Head of Digital Assets at Franklin Templeton, emphasized that tokenization can “reshape the global financial ecosystem” and highlighted the role of the blockchain network in unlocking new use cases for securities trading. According to RWA.xyz data, the fund is already live on seven other blockchains, including Stellar, Arbitrum, and Base, and currently manages more than $736 million in tokenized assets. The integration with the XRP Ledger is expected to push adoption further and strengthen cross-chain functionality. At the same time, DBS is preparing to allow…

The post Why Is Crypto Market Down Today (Oct 14) appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. October started out with the crypto market seeing impressive gains. However,  the assets have encountered a downturn due to escalating trade war tensions between the United States and China.  Crypto Market Bleeds as U.S.–China Trade War Heats Up The crypto market crash began shortly after President Trump announced a proposed 100% tariff on Chinese imports, effective November 1, 2025. The market recovered on the late hours of Sunday into Monday, but has since resumed its downturn. On Tuesday, October 14, tensions deepened when China and the United States began imposing new port fees on each other’s shipping operations, extending the trade war to the transport sector.  Reuters reported that China confirmed it would collect “special charges” on U.S.-built, owned, or operated vessels, while exempting its domestic ships. The United States, in response, implemented tariffs on imported timber, furniture, and kitchen cabinets, most of which originate from China. China’s Ministry of Commerce warned that it “will fight to the end if the U.S. wants a trade war,” but also left room for diplomacy: “If there’s a talk, the door remains open.” The statement did little to calm markets. Traders are bracing for prolonged economic friction between the two superpowers. Market analyst Ted Pillows attributed today’s slump directly to Beijing’s response.  🇨🇳🇺🇸 China says it will “fight to the end” if US wants a trade war. “If you wish to negotiate, our door remains open.” Today’s dump is because of this. Uncertainty. Trump needs to end this. Clarity = pump. — Ted (@TedPillows) October 14, 2025 Analysts noted that renewed U.S.–China hostilities had prompted large-scale profit-taking after early strong performances.
