On July 9, Phantom and the Hyperliquid Policy Center urged the CFTC to remove rules they say “unduly impede” fintech firms from working with registered derivatives markets.Phantom presents itself as the software in the middle, rather than the custodian.

Leon said institutional clients are split between dollar-cost averaging into the dip and waiting for firmer regulatory frameworks before committing new capital. Bitcoin’s (BTC) roughly 50% slide from its 2025 peak ranks as the mildest structural bear market in the…

It leaves the merits open, but it rejects Kalshi’s bid for immediate relief on the argument that the Commodity Exchange Act preempts New York’s gambling laws as applied to those contracts.The access…
