Matt: SEC的财政年度在9月结束,所以接下来会有很多活动。 Nic: 许多稳定币结算量的数据非常高,因为其中很多是机器活动,需要排除。稳定币的实际结算量远低于名义数字,因为可以通过多种技巧来找到交易的核心内容。稳定币的年度结算量可能接近6万亿美元,而不是人们通常认为的20万亿美元。 Matt: SEC指控并与Galois Capital Management达成和解,原因是未能遵守SEC的监管规定以及误导投资者。 Nic: 注册投资顾问必须将资金存放在合格的托管人处,而将资产存放在FTX或标准的Fireblocks设置中并不符合规定。SEC对Galois的处罚可能是一个警告,因为它对注册投资顾问(RIA)持有某些资产造成了实际上的禁止。SEC的规定可能会导致投资顾问在参与治理投票与遵守监管义务之间难以权衡。 Matt: CFTC对Uniswap处以罚款,原因是其使用了未经许可的杠杆或保证金零售商品交易。CFTC委员Summer Mersinger对Uniswap案的异议认为,监管机构应该通过规则制定而不是执法来应对新兴技术。Robinhood因未能允许客户在2020年至2022年期间从平台提取加密货币而被加州司法部处以罚款。美联储向联合德克萨斯银行发出警告,原因是其在加密货币客户相关的风险管理方面存在重大缺陷,这可能与银行服务金融科技行业有关。 Nic: Ripple公司将推出一种新的美元支持的稳定币,名为RLUSD。Ripple推出美元支持的稳定币可能意味着他们承认XRP作为跨境支付桥梁货币的失败。World Liberty Financial项目是一个糟糕的项目,任何将加密货币作为核心议题的人都不应该支持它。World Liberty Financial项目看起来像是一个利用特朗普名字的拙劣骗局,而不是一个创新的DeFi项目。如果特朗普竞选失败,那么现在发行World Liberty Financial代币可能会是一个机会窗口。 Matt: John Deaton赢得了马萨诸塞州的参议员初选。Polymarket的赔率与民调结果以及Silvers模型的结果不一致。Polymarket的赔率可能反映了加密货币用户的愿望而非实际可能性,他们可能过度看好特朗普。
