The requirement was included in the Senate’s final draft, released September 14, after lawmakers added more than 100 changes Democrats requested. Lummis and other Republican senators said those changes came from bipartisan negotiations. What the $25M Audit Rule Would Have Done The rule would not have applied to every cryptocurrency or token. It would have focused on certain token issuers whose tokens still depended on the company or people behind them. Issuers raising more than $25 million would have had to provide the SEC with audited financial statements. Issuers raising less than $25 million would have faced a lighter requirement:…

I think what $HYPE is doing with Kraken in the US is slightly different. The liquidity can’t simply be commingled with the broader permissionless Hyperliquid market. That probably means a way worse product. Think Binance vs. Binance US. Worth noting that in August, Valente had recommended that Hyperliquid pause buybacks and buy out the Gemini exchange for its U.S. expansion. The U.S. users would be ring-fenced, just similar to Kraken’s plan. However, he was right on the spot trading aspect of Hyperliquid. HyperCore has both perp and spot order books. But spot is basically nonexistent on Hyperliquid. You can become…

Market Snapshot The broader crypto market currently reflects mixed signals, with varying momentum across significant assets. However, Solana’s focus on innovative projects such as tokenized magazines and AI stocks positions it as a leader in blockchain advancements. This trend could attract further investment and interest in Solana’s capabilities, enhancing its overall market standing and community engagement. Solana’s blockchain serves as a foundation for a variety of digital solutions, including decentralized finance and collectibles. Its jurisdiction in this rapidly evolving market allows it to adapt to and lead the digital asset landscape, particularly through innovative projects that leverage its technology. The…

Bitcoin hodlers are “selling less” in September, Glassnode says In the latest edition of Glassnode’s The Week Onchain newsletter, the crypto analytics platform said Bitcoin’s sell-side risk ratio (SSRR) had reset lower. Sell-side risk sums total onchain realized profits and losses and divides that figure by Bitcoin’s realized market cap. The result is a snapshot of the US dollar value realized over a given period relative to realized cap. Glassnode describes lower values as signals of “macro market bottoms, accumulation phases and relatively low sell-side risk environments.” SSRR reached 16 as Bitcoin’s price hit multimonth highs above $80,000 in late…

Source: DefiLlama Will the new supply trigger selling? Following the issuance of these tokens, there has been an unprecedented spike in the circulating market cap across the network. In fact, in the last 24 hours alone, Canton’s total circulating market cap spiked by more than $100 million. Source: Santiment The influx in supply may create some short-term pressure, especially if reward receivers decide to sell off some of their shares. However, it is worth noting that a big unlocking event does not necessarily mean selling. Especially when the tokens are unlocked to various network stakeholders and not straight out to…

Chebeskov separately estimated that around 20 million Russians already use crypto, holding about 3.7 trillion rubles ($44 billion) in crypto and related products. That number covers both direct crypto holdings and some financial products linked to digital assets. Russia’s New Crypto Regulations The possible 10 million new users come at a big moment for Russia’s crypto market. A new law on digital currencies and digital rights took effect on September 1, setting rules for licensed crypto exchanges and digital asset depositories. The Bank of Russia stated that existing market participants have until July 1, 2027, to transition. The new setup…

Over on the Bitcoin [$BTC] side, one whale’s been buying. The dip hasn’t scared them off one bit. According to Lookonchain, the wallet bc1qdp bought 536.93 $BTC worth about $45.28 million. That comes down to $84,300 per coin. Over the past 20 days, the same whale has stacked 2,460 $BTC, worth around $194.3 million. Those were bought at an average price of $78,966. Source: Arkham The latest buy came in well above that average. That implies that the whale isn’t looking for a bargain, and is perfectly alright with wobbly price movements. Says a lot about how Bitcoin’s next move…

The appointment comes as financial institutions expand their use of blockchain networks for settlement and capital markets activity. Finance Magnates previously reported that Lloyds completed a tokenised deposit transaction on Canton, where it operates a validator node. Societe Generale has also used Canton for a US dollar-denominated digital bond. Separately, LSEG has used blockchain infrastructure for fundraising through the London Stock Exchange.

Marc van der Chijs, an entrepreneur who co-founded then bitcoin miner Hut 8 (HUT), has become increasingly concerned about the technology to which the company has pivoted: artificial intelligence. “I’ve become more of a doomer over the past week, to be honest,” he told CoinDesk in an interview. The concern marks a shift for an investor who compares AI’s potential today with bitcoin when he entered the market in 2013. He still expects the technology to transform the economy, but increasingly questions whether humans can retain control over its development. “We have lost control, actually,” he said. “And until we…
