CFTC moves ahead with crypto market rules after Clarity Act failure

Chair Michael Selig said Regulation CTX and Regulation CAM would create a federal framework for registered crypto exchanges while stopping short of requiring spot platforms to register.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is moving ahead with its first dedicated rules for crypto markets after Congress failed to advance comprehensive market structure legislation.
CFTC Chair Michael Selig said the agency is proposing two rulemakings, Regulation Crypto Asset Transactions, or Regulation CTX, and Regulation Crypto Asset Markets, or Regulation CAM, following the Senate’s failure to advance the Clarity Act.
The proposals would establish requirements for CFTC-registered exchanges that offer crypto assets such as Bitcoin and Ether for trading.
Unlike the Clarity Act, however, the rules would not require crypto assets to trade on CFTC-registered platforms.
Selig said the agency does not have the authority to impose such a requirement without congressional action. Instead, the proposals are intended to create a purpose-built federal option for crypto exchanges that voluntarily choose to operate under CFTC oversight.

Those platforms could offer retail customers margined, leveraged or financed crypto trading, distinguishing them from ordinary spot exchanges and bringing them more clearly within the CFTC’s existing jurisdiction.
The move follows a joint interpretation from the CFTC and Securities and Exchange Commission earlier this year that Selig said clarified that a broad group of crypto assets, including Bitcoin and Ether, are non-securities subject to the CFTC’s authority.

Selig framed the new approach as a break from the enforcement-heavy strategy used by regulators under the previous administration.
He argued that requiring crypto firms to fit into rules designed for traditional financial infrastructure created uncertainty and pushed some businesses offshore rather than establishing clear standards before problems emerged.
Selig pointed to the collapse of FTX as an example of the risks created by fragmented oversight. While most of FTX’s offshore and state-regulated entities entered bankruptcy, he said customer property held through its CFTC-registered subsidiary remained segregated and secure.
In his view, the episode demonstrated the value of federal market rules covering areas such as customer asset protection, conflicts of interest, manipulation and orderly trading.
State money-transmitter regimes have allowed crypto businesses to operate in the US for years, but Selig argued those frameworks were designed primarily for payments rather than financial markets and vary significantly across states.
Regulation CTX and CAM are intended to give crypto exchanges an alternative: a single federal market-regulatory framework specifically designed around the structure of crypto markets.
The CFTC’s authority remains limited without legislation. The agency cannot force spot crypto platforms into the framework or fully replace the broader market structure regime envisioned by Congress.
Selig acknowledged that agency action cannot indefinitely substitute for legislation but said the CFTC intends to move ahead with the authority it already has.
“Today’s action is just the beginning,” Selig said, adding that the agency will continue addressing gaps in crypto market structure and developing what he described as clearer rules for market participants.

dcex - DEX & CEX trading library
English | 繁體中文
dcex is a Rust-backed exchange library with synchronous and asynchronous Python clients and a standalone Rust crate. It covers market data, account queries, order APIs, and public and private WebSocket streams.
Broker codes: dcex does not set or attach a broker code or broker tag by default. You can specify one explicitly when the exchange API supports it.
Forked from krex, a simplified version of the ccxt Python library.
Installation
Python:
pip install dcex # or, in a uv-managed project: uv add dcex
Rust:
cargo add dcex
Key features
Synchronous and asynchronous Python HTTP clients, plus public and private WebSocket clients.
HTTP, WebSocket, and signing APIs for direct use from Rust.
A Product Table Manager (PTM) that normalizes exchange symbols and trading specifications.
Support for multiple CEX and DEX platforms; available endpoints vary by exchange.
Documented withdrawal, market-maker and partner endpoints are in scope; current coverage and specification gaps are recorded in the endpoint ledger. API withdrawals have no second confirmation; they execute on submit. Trading API keys should not have withdrawal permission. PTM includes listed options from Binance, Bybit, and OKX; option trading remains exchange-specific.
Supported exchanges
Exchange HTTP Sync HTTP Async WS Public WS Private Binance Yes Yes Yes Yes Bybit Yes Yes Yes Yes OKX Yes Yes Yes Yes Bitget Yes Yes Yes Yes Kraken Yes Yes Yes Yes MEXC Yes Yes Yes Yes BingX Yes Yes Yes Yes KuCoin Yes Yes Yes Yes Hyperliquid Yes Yes Yes Yes Lighter (Mainnet + Robinhood) Yes Yes Yes Yes Backpack Yes Yes Yes Yes Aster Yes Yes Yes Yes Extended Yes Yes Yes Yes Ondo Yes Yes Yes Yes Arcus Yes Yes Yes Yes
Bitget began migrating accounts to UTA on 2026-09-15. Classic-account private endpoints that Bitget rejects for UTA accounts (error 40085) have been removed; public market-data, tax and institutional-loan endpoints that still work remain. Use a UTA account for trading. See the official UTA upgrade guide and account settings.
Private WebSocket support includes authenticated or address-scoped user-data streams. Trading WebSocket APIs are available for Binance, Bybit, Bitget, OKX, KuCoin and Kraken Spot; Hyperliquid and Lighter accept signed actions, and Arcus provides signed request construction. Lighter Mainnet and Robinhood use separate credential profiles; select the network per client (Mainnet is the default); see .env.example and the Lighter examples. Ondo spot currently supports only public market data (depth, trades, symbol_info, history and WS spot channels); Ondo has not published its spot trading API, so private operations such as placing or cancelling orders with a -SPOT symbol fail locally without sending a request.
Endpoint coverage, limitations and verification.
Python quick start
Synchronous HTTP:
import dcex client = dcex . binance () print ( client . get_klines ( product_symbol = "BTC-USDT-SWAP" , interval = "1m" ))
Asynchronous HTTP:
import asyncio import dcex.async_support as dcex async def main (): client = await dcex . binance () try : print ( await client . get_klines ( product_symbol = "BTC-USDT-SWAP" , interval = "1m" )) finally : await client . close () asyncio . run ( main ())
Additional profiles cover Binance Alpha, Aster Prediction, KuCoin Classic/Pro and Kraken Spot V1. Bitget SBE returns raw binary frames for caller-side decoding.
Public WebSocket:
import asyncio from dcex.ws import binance async def main (): async with binance . public () as ws : await ws . subscribe_agg_trades ( "BTC-USDT-SPOT" ) print ( await ws . recv ()) asyncio . run ( main ())
Product Table Manager
PTM maps normalized product_symbol values, such as BTC-USDT-SWAP , to exchange-native exchange_symbol values and exposes trading metadata. Clients use this mapping where applicable.
Fields Meaning exchange , product_symbol , exchange_symbol Exchange and normalized/native symbols product_type , exchange_type Normalized and exchange-specific market types base_currency , quote_currency Product currencies price_precision , size_precision Price and size increments min_size , min_notional Minimum size and notional size_per_contract Contract multiplier
from dcex.product_table.manager import ProductTableManager table = ProductTableManager . get_instance ( "binance" ) print ( table . get_exchange_symbol ( "binance" , "BTC-USDT-SWAP" )) print ( table . get_product_symbol ( "binance" , "BTCUSDT" , product_type = "swap" )) print ( table . rows ()[ 0 ])
More examples and development
Runnable examples are in Python sync, Python async and WebSocket, and Rust. They focus on public data or read-only account queries. Private HTTP examples require credentials; private stream examples require credentials or a user address.
uv run python examples/sync/binance_public.py uv run python examples/async/binance_ws_public.py cargo run -p dcex --example binance_ws_public
For direct Rust usage, see the crate README. The default test suite runs offline with uv run pytest ; live suites are opt-in. See the contributing guide for development and testing details.

Bitcoin’s highest weekly close in eight months formed low-timeframe resistance at the start of Monday’s US trading session.
Bitcoin (BTC) fluctuated around $86,000 after Monday’s Wall Street open as US bond yields continued to rise.

US bond yields, already under scrutiny, headed higher on the day. The 30-year yield passed 5.67% once again, just two basis points below 24-year highs seen last week. The 10-year yield returned to 5.31%, with last week’s high at 5.34%.

Commenting, trading company QCP Capital reiterated that even recent cooler US employment data had not been enough to calm bond markets as broader geopolitical uncertainty persisted.
“Despite the dovish employment print, elevated oil prices and elevated long-dated yields continue to limit upside momentum for risk assets broadly,” it wrote in its latest analysis.
US stocks opened moderately higher on Monday, with the S&P 500 and tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index up 0.5% and 0.7%, respectively, as traders saw the Federal Reserve pausing interest-rate hikes at the next Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting on Oct. 28.

In a note quoted by CNBC, Deutsche Bank analysts suggested that the minutes from the September FOMC meeting, to be released on Wednesday, would carry more weight than usual due to the bond sell-off.
“The highly unsettled bond market makes the incoming US data and Fed communication particularly relevant. So the minutes will be worth watching for how the broader Committee is framing the current tightening cycle and for its discussion of the neutral rate, where estimates shifted higher in the September SEP,” they wrote, referring to the Fed’s most recent summary of economic projections.

Compared to mid-September, when BTC/USD returned to $87,000 for the first time in eight months, onchain analytics platform Glassnode flagged a drop in buyer dominance.
“This behavior reflects a moderation in aggressive upward momentum without signalling an immediate trend reversal or structural exhaustion,” it wrote in its latest Weekly Market Pulse on Monday.
Glassnode added that Bitcoin has held its September upside even as profit-taking continues to “run hot.” Previously, Cointelegraph reported on BTC owned by long-term holders (LTHs) being of particular interest in the area beyond $85,000.

Bloomberg Terminal has integrated live streaming quotes for Hyperliquid perpetual futures, spanning various asset classes including cryptocurrencies, equities, commodities, foreign exchange, and indexes. This development marks a significant milestone in Hyperliquid’s visibility within professional environments, as it becomes part of a platform widely used by financial institutions for market analysis. Although the Bloomberg Terminal will not facilitate execution for Hyperliquid’s products, the availability of real-time data is expected to enhance market participants’ ability to track and analyze these assets. Hyperliquid operates on its own Layer-1 blockchain, offering decentralized perpetual futures that have gained enough prominence to be included alongside traditional financial benchmarks.
Key Takeaways
The integration of Hyperliquid quotes on Bloomberg Terminal suggests increased visibility for the decentralized exchange in professional circles.
Market participants appear to view this development as supportive of a YES outcome for Hyperliquid reaching $100 by the end of 2026, with the market currently pricing this scenario at 76% YES.
The availability of live quotes may indicate heightened interest and potential activity in Hyperliquid’s perpetual futures.
What to Watch
Observers will focus on whether the increased exposure from Bloomberg Terminal leads to higher volumes and broader adoption of Hyperliquid’s offerings. The trajectory of Hyperliquid’s price and market cap will be key indicators to watch, especially if it enters the top 10 cryptocurrencies. Additionally, any major partnerships or institutional endorsements could further influence market expectations regarding Hyperliquid’s price targets.

Trading in Story's IP token is disabled from October 5 to 7, 2026, while holdings convert automatically to DATA at a 1:1 ratio
Trading support for Story (IP) is temporarily disabled from October 5 to October 7, 2026. For three days, the token sits in a kind of witness protection program while it gets a new name and a new job.
The pause covers the window in which IP converts into DATA, the token of the newly rebranded DATA Foundation and Data Network. Holders don’t need to do anything. Their balances are set to convert automatically at a 1:1 ratio.
How the migration works
The trading halt applies across several exchanges, including Coinbase. During the October 5 to 7 window, IP balances convert to DATA or DATAIP, one for one.
No claim forms, no bridges, no wallet gymnastics. The swap happens on the exchanges’ end while trading is frozen.
Trading in the new DATA token is set to resume once the conversion wraps up. The supply structure carries over unchanged from IP to DATA.
IP had a capped supply of 1 billion tokens. Because the conversion is 1:1 and the supply structure stays the same, a holder’s slice of the total pie is meant to look identical on both sides of the migration.

From IP licensing to AI data
The migration is the final mechanical step in a rebrand announced on June 25, 2026. That announcement moved the project from Story Protocol to the DATA Foundation and Data Network, with a new focus on AI training data infrastructure.
Story launched its mainnet and IP token in February 2025 as a Layer 1 blockchain built for intellectual property. The idea was to tokenize IP and handle licensing on-chain, so creators could register work and get paid when others used it.

Story Protocol raised approximately $134 million from investors including Andreessen Horowitz.
The shift toward data started with Trace, an on-chain data registry. Think of it as a ledger that records where a piece of data came from and who has rights to it.
The project then added an integration with Kled, which aims to document 1.5 billion user-contributed records through Trace.
The price history behind the pivot
IP reached a peak of around $14.78 and has since fallen nearly 98% from that high.
What this means for holders and the project
For current IP holders, the immediate takeaway is simple. If your tokens sit on a participating exchange like Coinbase, the conversion should happen automatically. Your job is mostly to not panic when the IP ticker disappears and DATA shows up in its place.
The DATA Foundation carries over the Story infrastructure, the Trace registry and the Kled integration, rather than launching an entirely new chain or token supply.
On the business side, the pivot puts the project into a crowded but growing field. AI developers increasingly need training data that is rights-cleared, meaning it comes with clear permission to use. A registry that can prove provenance and track rights could fill a real gap, especially as scrutiny of how models are trained keeps building.
Documenting 1.5 billion records through Kled is an ambitious target, and the value of the network will depend on whether AI companies actually use Trace to source and license data.
For now, the next concrete milestone is October 7, 2026, when the conversion window closes. After that, DATA trades on its own merits, without the IP name to lean on or blame.

Taiwan Semiconductor shares closed at NT$2,575, pushing its market value to approximately US$2.5 trillion ahead of key earnings dates
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. set a new personal best on October 5, 2026. Its shares touched an intraday high of NT$2,580 before closing at NT$2,575, up 3% on the day and at an all-time record.
The move lifted TSMC’s market capitalization to approximately NT$66.9 trillion, or around US$2.5 trillion.
The numbers behind the record
TSMC had company at the top. The Taiwan Weighted Index, better known as TAIEX, also posted a record close, finishing at 49,712.04 after a 2.55% gain.
Trading volume on the index topped NT$1.15 trillion.

Two forces drove the rally. The first was a rebound in US technology stocks, which gave the wider chip sector a lift. The second was continued demand tied to artificial intelligence. AI developers keep looking to TSMC for its most advanced chips and its contract manufacturing services.
Year to date, TSMC shares have gained more than 55-60%.

Revenue is doing the heavy lifting
TSMC’s August sales jumped 53% compared with the same month a year earlier.
For the full year, TSMC’s 2026 revenue growth is projected at slightly above 40% in US dollar terms.
TSMC is also spending heavily to keep pace. Its capital expenditure guidance sits between US$60 billion and US$64 billion.
The backdrop: AI demand and potential new partners
Potential collaborations are adding to the optimism. Among them are discussions with Elon Musk’s Terafab about a manufacturing facility in Texas. Those talks remain discussions, not a signed deal.
What this means for investors
TSMC is set to release its September sales figures on October 8, followed by third-quarter earnings on October 15.
The capex guidance deserves attention too. Spending between US$60 billion and US$64 billion only pays off if AI demand stays strong.
The Terafab discussions are worth tracking as well. Any formal agreement on a Texas facility would expand TSMC’s footprint.

Bullish exchange lists Sui Dollar stablecoin for trading

The Stripe-backed USDsui, which routes reserve yield into SUI buybacks, is now tradable on Bullish in eligible regions
Sui Dollar, the native stablecoin of the Sui blockchain, is now available to trade on Bullish in eligible regions.
The token trades under the ticker $USDsui. It reached a centralized exchange order book only weeks after its launch, which is quick for a stablecoin built for one specific chain.
What USDsui actually is
$USDsui launched on March 4, 2026, as a fiat-backed, USD-pegged stablecoin native to Sui. Bridge, a company owned by Stripe, issues it on a 1:1 basis through its Open Issuance platform.
Each token is backed by a reserve of dollar assets. That reserve includes US Treasuries, repos, money-market funds and cash, with an emphasis on short-term Treasuries.
The token was built to support payments and decentralized finance (DeFi) inside the Sui ecosystem. DeFi refers to lending, trading and other financial services run by software on a blockchain rather than by a bank.
Advertisement
The circulating supply sits between approximately 78.5 million and 78.85 million tokens. Market capitalization is near $78–79 million, and the token has held its $1.00 peg.
The yield twist
Most fiat-backed stablecoins operate on a simple business model. Users hold tokens that earn nothing, the issuer parks the reserves in Treasuries, and the issuer keeps the interest.

USDsui tweaks that arrangement. Yield generated by its reserves is directed toward buybacks of the SUI token and toward liquidity incentives for DeFi on Sui, rather than flowing only to the issuer.
A buyback means using money to purchase SUI tokens on the open market. Liquidity incentives are rewards paid to users who deposit assets into trading pools, which helps those markets run smoothly.
Where it already lives on-chain
Before landing on Bullish, USDsui had already been integrated into several DeFi applications on Sui. Those include Cetus, Bluefin and Turbos Finance.
In some snapshots of Sui network activity, USDsui ranks as the second-largest stablecoin on the chain. The top spot belongs to USDC.
Stablecoin transfer volumes on the Sui blockchain exceeded $100 billion in early 2026, alongside growing institutional demand for stablecoins.
What this means
For traders, the Bullish listing adds a new venue to access USDsui without first moving funds onto Sui itself.
The Stripe connection is also a meaningful signal. Bridge’s involvement ties USDsui to a major payments company, which may appeal to institutions that care about who sits behind a stablecoin’s reserves.
There are risks worth keeping in view. USDsui is weeks old, its supply is a fraction of USDC’s, and its success depends heavily on continued activity within one blockchain.
The listing is limited to eligible regions, so availability will vary depending on where a user is based.
