The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has released the final draft of the crypto asset framework. This new regulation is set to bring most crypto activities under the regulation of the Financial Services and Markets Act by October 25, 2027.According to the proposal, any institution that holds customer crypto assets for more than 24 hours or has the ability to revoke customer permissions will be considered a regulated custodian and must hold a full safeguarding license. Validators and node operators that provide value-added features such as yield or reward reinvestment will lose their technical exemptions. In addition, stablecoin issuers within the UK must control the entire lifecycle from issuance to redemption. Relevant institutions must submit authorization applications between September 30, 2026, and February 28, 2027.

Gate Research Institute released a report titled "TradFi Asset Perpetualization: The Systematic Overlay Advantages of Gate Macro Perpetual Contracts," which points out that against the backdrop of intensified macro volatility and enhanced cross-market linkage in 2026, the demand from crypto traders for macro risk tools that are priced in stablecoins, composable, and executable 24/7 has significantly increased. Therefore, Gate has split macro trading into two complementary paths: on one hand, providing a professional trading entry closer to traditional market rules through Gate TradFi (MT5+CFD); on the other hand, launching macro perpetual contracts settled in USDT, allowing macro assets such as stocks, metals, indices, foreign exchange, and commodities to be directly included in a unified margin and risk control system of the contract account.The report shows that Gate has covered hundreds of macro perpetual assets across five categories: stocks, metals, indices, foreign exchange, and commodities. At the mechanism level, the platform handles pricing continuity during market closures through the Price-Hold mechanism and supports parallel long and short positions in the same market under a split account model, as well as mixed positions of full and isolated margin and independent leverage configuration for isolated long and short positions, thereby enhancing the executability of hedging, event-driven rebalancing, and strategy reuse.

During an interview, President Trump stated that if necessary, the U.S. military intends to sustain attacks on Iran for "four to five weeks," and insisted that Israel and the U.S. "will not have difficulty" maintaining combat intensity, while also warning that there may be more casualties among U.S. troops.When asked about the power transition plan, Mr. Trump expressed his hope that Iran's elite forces (including senior officers of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps who have significant influence and profit from the current regime) could hand over weapons to the Iranian people. In a call lasting about six minutes, Trump also mentioned that he has three "very good" candidates to lead Iran, but he refused to disclose the specific names.He repeatedly referred to his experiences in Venezuela, which may suggest he believes that effective methods used in Venezuela could also apply to Iran. He also stated that he would be willing to lift sanctions on Iran if the new leadership shows a pragmatic and cooperative attitude. However, he simultaneously declined to clarify how (or whether) his administration would defend the Iranian people, whom he claims should overthrow the current government.

According to Jinshi reports, U.S. President Trump stated that he believes the attack on Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei by the U.S. and Israel was effective and may create opportunities for diplomatic avenues.

Trump expressed confidence in the results achieved so far.

The CEO of Japan's Bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet, Simon Gerovich, posted on the X platform in response to an anonymous account inciting public opinion without accountability and accusing the company of "dishonest information disclosure." He stated that the related claims are inconsistent with the facts, and both he and the company are willing to take public responsibility for all actions and statements. The company's long-term systematic strategy of increasing Bitcoin holdings remains unchanged.Simon Gerovich stated that over the past six months, against the backdrop of rising volatility, the company has increased its allocation to income-generating businesses by selling put options and employing spread strategies to obtain premiums, while allocating part of the funds for long-term Bitcoin holdings. All Bitcoin purchases are disclosed immediately after decisions are made, and all Bitcoin addresses of the company are public, allowing shareholders to view the holdings in real-time dashboards. In response to the accusation of "buying at high levels in September without disclosure," he mentioned that there were four purchases made in September, all of which were announced in a timely manner. The company's strategy is not about timing the market but rather about long-term, systematic accumulation of Bitcoin.Additionally, selling put options is not merely a bet on price increases, but rather a way to acquire Bitcoin at an effective cost below the spot price. Regular losses mainly stem from the unrealized fair value fluctuations of Bitcoin that are held long-term and not sold, and interpreting this as a strategic failure is a misunderstanding.

According to crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett, this morning's third meeting on the "Cryptocurrency Market Structure Bill" (the CLARITY Act) regarding stablecoin yields was smaller than last week's, with representatives from Coinbase, Ripple, a16z, and the Crypto Industry Association in attendance, but no bank representatives present individually; the banking industry's voice was conveyed through the industry association.The situation at this meeting was notably different: the White House led the discussion, rather than allowing cryptocurrency companies and banks to dominate the conversation as in previous meetings. Patrick Witt, the Executive Director of the White House Cryptocurrency Committee, brought a draft text that became the focal point of the discussion.The text acknowledged the concerns raised by banks last week in the "Prohibition of Yields and Interest Principles" document, while clearly stating that a key goal of stablecoin-related legislation is to prohibit earning yields on idle stablecoin balances. The debate has narrowed down to whether crypto companies can offer stablecoin rewards tied to specific activities, with banks' concerns seeming to stem more from competitive pressure than the initially perceived worry about deposit outflows.Sources from the banking sector indicated that they are still working to include a study on deposit outflows in the draft—this study would examine the growth of payment stablecoins and their potential impact on bank deposits. Additionally, the banking industry is encouraged by the proposed anti-tax avoidance provisions, which would empower the SEC, the Treasury, and the CFTC to enforce the ban on paying yields on idle balances, imposing a civil penalty of $500,000 per day for each violation.Sources stated that discussions could be finalized by the end of the month, with negotiations continuing in the coming days.

According to Jinshi reports, Federal Reserve Governor Barr stated that the neutral interest rate level has risen slightly, but there has not been a dramatic change.
