S&P Global closes OpenZeppelin deal as Q3 results begin
S&P Global closed its OpenZeppelin deal as banks and Fannie Mae turned to third-quarter results, alongside payments, insurance and literacy news.
The week of Oct 26, 2026 had no single dominant theme in finance and banking releases. The largest item was S&P Global's completion of its acquisition of OpenZeppelin, which the company describes as the security standard for onchain finance. S&P Global says the deal, first announced on September 17, 2026, complements its risk assessment capabilities.
Third-quarter earnings season also showed up. Touchmark Bancshares reported a 39% rise in net income, and Fannie Mae set October 28, 2026 as the date for its results. Other releases covered consumer payments, with Klarna going live at Adorama, and risk and insurance, from AppWork's claims management tools to a wildfire demonstration by IBHS and CalChiefs. Jack Henry noted a Forbes ranking, and Louis Hernandez Jr.'s Foundation For A Bright Future expanded a financial literacy program in New York.
