Kalshi is ending a trader-volume incentive program nearly a year early as scrutiny of activity in its crypto markets intensifies.The prediction-market operator told the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) that its Volume Incentive Program will terminate no earlier than Oct. 13, according to a Sept. 28 filing. The program had previously been scheduled to run until Oct. 1, 2027, making the change a significant acceleration of its planned end date.The decision comes as Kalshi faces questions over trading patterns in its perpetual futures markets. The CFTC has reportedly examined activity after researchers identified repetitive trades around fixed dollar amounts, including…

Aave’s proposed institutional lending business would put crypto collateral on both sides of the financing chain. Institutions would pledge Bitcoin or Ether for dollar loans, while the organization governing the Aave lending protocol would initially borrow those dollars against a separate pool of its own crypto assets.Aave Labs’ September 30 clarification identifies an Aave Labs entity as the contractual lender and confirms that the DAO-funded route would pay prevailing Aave V3 stablecoin borrowing rates. That makes the borrower’s ability to meet a margin call only one test of the business. The funding position could face its own collateral pressure or…

ApeX offers vaults, staking, and bots for passive yield. Protocol Vaults earn from daily liquidation-fee revenue. Grid bots automate trades across USDT perpetual markets. Most of the attention a perpetual exchange gets goes to the people trading 100x. Most of the capital on one does not belong to them. ApeX Omni has quietly built a second layer for everyone else: a set of products where the return comes from the platform’s own activity, from other traders’ skill, or from a rules-based bot, and where the user’s job is to allocate rather than to trade. Four pieces make up that layer,…

UK crypto firms can now apply for authorization as of Sept. 30, bringing Bitcoin holders closer to a rulebook that will treat coins pledged as qualifying borrowing collateral differently from coins transferred into lending for yield. The distinction could matter when a platform fails: safeguarded assets and a contractual promise to return equivalent coins give customers different starting points for seeking recovery.The Financial Conduct Authority now allows firms to apply for authorization or vary their permissions through its Connect system. But the safeguards in the rules it finalized June 30 are forthcoming, with the new regime expected to begin Oct.…

Stablecoin card spending is accelerating to record levels, but the payment rail remains a fraction of the traditional card market.Paymentscan tracked about $1.17 billion in spending through Sept. 30, already above August’s completed total and the highest monthly figure in its displayed series.Cuy Sheffield, head of Visa’s crypto unit, described stablecoin-linked cards as being in “hyper growth mode,” as issuers increasingly connect dollar-denominated tokens to existing card networks rather than wait for merchants to accept crypto directly.Notably, the growth has continued even without a corresponding increase in payment frequency. Paymentscan recorded 11.0 million transactions in September, down from 11.07 million…

Robinhood Chain, an Ethereum layer-2 network, kept producing blocks throughout its Sept. 4 disruption. A new full-day measurement corrects CryptoSlate’s earlier report that block production stopped for at least 14 minutes. Separate public-data analysis found that successful transactions through busy apps fell sharply for about 40 minutes, leaving users with a real disruption despite the continuing blocks.Glass Hull’s Sept. 29 measurement counted 854,255 blocks across all 1,440 minutes of Sept. 4 UTC. The longest gap between consecutive recorded block timestamps was two seconds. In the minute beginning 12:57 UTC, the reported start of the supposed halt, the chain produced 592…

Free trials let traders practise prop firm rules before paying. HyroTrader’s evaluation has profit and loss limits to manage. A trial can help traders identify costly mistakes before paying. Funded trading rests on a simple promise: prove you can trade by passing a test, and a firm gives you its capital to trade with. The test is called an evaluation or a challenge, and entering one costs money. That creates an obvious question for anyone new to the model. How do you know whether the test suits you before you pay for it? A free trial answers it: a practice…

The US Securities and Exchange Commission tightened its guidance for crypto token buybacks just three days after publishing it.On Sept. 25, SEC staff said a token issuer could announce a buyback without that announcement being treated as a promise to manage the token’s value, as long as the crypto system was already functional. On Sept. 28, the agency changed that answer by adding another condition: the system must also have “no central party.”It represents an important change to the guidance, as many crypto projects use buybacks while still giving people, companies, or committees some control over how those purchases happen.The…

Binance Pay receipts and Convert order settlement also move to Spot, although existing Funding balances are being migrated on a separate timetable.The changes alter where users send assets and find them after a transaction.

The US Department of Energy has opened an exchange for up to 40 million barrels of crude from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Its September 29 solicitation adds a possible source of oil later this year, but no barrels have been awarded under this offer. Proposals are due October 6 at 11 a.m. Central, with deliveries under awarded exchanges scheduled for November and December.The offer falls within the previously announced 172-million-barrel US release commitment. That figure describes the existing program, not another 172 million barrels announced this week. The 40-million-barrel ceiling is the volume offered in this round, rather than oil…
