Ondo Finance filed three comment letters urging the SEC and CFTC to allow perpetual futures on individual US-listed stocks in the United States under existing rules, making the case public on Sept. 2. Ondo argues a perpetual contract on a stock already qualifies as a “security futures product”, since “nothing in the statutory definition of a security futures product requires a fixed expiration date”, so no new rules are needed. Its Panama affiliate, Ondo Global Panama Inc., already runs the product offshore through Ondo Perps, which logged US$8 billion (AU$11.2 billion) in cumulative volume by Aug. 14, weeks after a…

Bitcoin is testing a roughly $68 billion breakeven wall that has repeatedly stalled its push back above $80,000.About 880,000 BTC carry a cost basis between roughly $77,500 and $80,300, leaving a large group of holders close to where they originally bought, Bitfinex Alpha data shows.Data from CryptoSlate shows Bitcoin trading near $77,890 as of press time after spending much of the past week trapped below $80,000.The concentration means even modest price moves can shift tens of billions of dollars in Bitcoin between profit and loss, potentially releasing supply from investors who endured months underwater.So far, that selling has been absorbed,…

Strategy sold around 7,000 BTC during its two-month buying pause, mostly between US$60,000 and US$65,000. CEO Phong Le said the sales were driven by capital costs and corporate obligations rather than Bitcoin’s price. Strategy resumed buying with 4,603 BTC at an average price of US$80,318, taking its holdings to 845,050 BTC. Le said Strategy could keep buying Bitcoin at US$90,000, US$100,000 or even US$130,000 if the capital economics remain attractive. After Michael Saylor’s Strategy recently resumed buying Bitcoin, it now faces some questions about the timing of its sales and purchases. Bloomberg Crypto co-host Scarlet Fu asked Phong Le, CEO…

Ontology said its mainnet resumed normal operation on Sept. 2 after an emergency security pause and told every sync-node operator to upgrade to version 3.1.5. Sync nodes are infrastructure that keep their copy of the blockchain synchronized with the network.The restoration notice says the new software is required to maintain compatibility with the restored chain and ensure stable synchronization. Ontology told operators to upgrade as soon as possible, confirm that their nodes are fully synchronized, and verify normal operation afterward.Older software therefore carries a compatibility and synchronization risk, although the notice does not say that every unupgraded node has already…

SEC Chairman Paul Atkins said on Sept. 2 that the Senate will hold a Sept. 15 cloture vote on the CLARITY Act, and that he hopes the crypto market structure bill passes and reaches President Donald Trump’s desk.

Circle president Heath Tarbert told Congress on Sept. 2 that placing digital-dollar infrastructure under US rules could reinforce the network effects that support the currency’s global role. The testimony framed stablecoin and digital asset legislation as a tool of dollar statecraft.US rules can strengthen private dollar-token rails, while official reserve share remains a separate contest. Regulated stablecoins can spread private use of dollar-denominated tokens, change how issuers hold reserves, and add demand for short-term Treasuries.Central banks remain responsible for deciding which currencies they hold. Tarbert acknowledged the boundary, arguing that payment technology cannot substitute for sound economic policy and that…

Once the service has been terminated, assets that have not been withdrawn cannot be recovered.”The closure unwinds a network that had sought…
