CFTC, US soldier accused of illegal Polymarket bet spar over interpretation of prediction markets

A judge stayed the CFTCs civil case against a soldier who allegedly used nonpublic information for a Polymarket bet, but the regulator is trying to weigh in on the criminal case.  Gannon Ken Van Dyke, a soldier who allegedly made more than $400,000 using nonpublic information to trade event contracts on prediction market platform Polymarket, is pushing back against attempts by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to weigh in on his criminal case.  In a Monday filing in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, Van Dyke‘s lawyers opposed the CFTC’s efforts to file an amicus brief relating to claims in his case. The letter referred to the commodities regulator‘s counsel filing a notice requesting permission from the court to provide its views on many of Van Dyke’s defense claims, including that event contracts on platforms like Polymarket were not “swaps” under the purview of the CFTC.  “The CFTC is no sheep ‘friend of the Court’ here,” said defense attorneys. “It is a regulatory wolf, with its own case against Mr. Van Dyke that it refuses to pursue itself. Rather, like a true coursing predator, the CTFC seeks to advance its own interests through the back door

Hyperliquid Urges SEC and CFTC to Clarify Perpetual Rules

Hyperliquid Policy Center is pressing U.S. regulators to establish clearer rules for equity perpetual contracts. The group wants the SEC and CFTC to treat qualifying products as security futures. Its proposal could give U.S. exchanges a clearer path to list these rapidly growing derivatives.  Regulators Face Growing Pressure  Perpetual contracts have expanded rapidly, yet U.S. rules still create uncertainty around their legal classification. However, HPC argues that contract features should determine classification rather than the underlying asset.  Additionally, the CFTC approved the first U.S.-listed perpetual contracts as futures in May. The agencies later sought public feedback on how existing derivatives definitions apply to newer products.  Consequently, HPC believes regulators can provide immediate clarity without formal rulemaking. Interpretive guidance or policy statements could establish a framework while agencies gather practical market experience.  Path Toward Onshore Markets  Moreover, security futures could allow SEC- and CFTC-registered exchanges to compete within the same product category. That approach could encourage stronger liquidity, better execution, and greater market access.  Significantly, more than $480 billion has traded across Hyperliquid perpetual markets during the past ten months. Those markets cover equities, commodities, currencies, and equity indexes.

Users warned to pull funds immediately as EU sanctions force crypto platform into withdrawal-only mode

NoOnes has entered withdrawal-only mode weeks after telling users that an EU sanctions listing named a separate company and did not affect the platform or its operator.  Related Asset Bitcoin #1 BTC · $79,001.66 24-hour change: up 1.62% 24H Up 1.62% 7D Up 22.77% 30D Up 23.02%  The crypto platform strongly recommended that customers remove their full balances no later than Sunday, Aug. 23. That date was, however, not a stated platform shutdown cutoff. NoOnes said users will continue to be able to sign in, view balances, withdraw funds and contact support while it helps them remove their money.  Aug. 23 also has separate legal significance. The EU regulation adds “NoOnecrypto INC.” to Annex XLV Part A from that date under a framework prohibiting direct or indirect transactions with listed non-EU financial, crypto-asset and payment-service entities. The text does not name the NoOnes brand or identify its current operator.  NoOnes says its remaining withdrawal routes are regular Bitcoin over the Bitcoin network and USDT over Tron through TRC-20. It warned that a receiving exchange or service may delay, reject or restrict a transfer and advised customers to confirm acceptance before sending funds.

US Treasury targets Irans crypto sector in sanctions push

The U.S. Treasury Department has launched Operation Economic Outcast to target Irans international financial links, including cryptocurrency activity that American officials say supports sanctions evasion and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.  Operation Economic Outcast targets Irans financial links  The U.S. Treasury Department said President Donald Trump directed officials to begin Operation Economic Outcast as Washington seeks to cut Iran off from financial networks outside the country.  Under the campaign, Treasury plans to pursue people, companies, and intermediaries that it says help Iran sell oil, move money, avoid existing restrictions, or finance groups designated by the United States. Officials said they had already mapped facilitators, financial channels, and other networks used by Tehran.  “Today, in that same spirit, we are launching an economic onslaught against Irans financial connections around the globe,” Treasury said in its announcement.  The department presented Iran with two possible outcomes: continued isolation or a route back into the international economy. Reintegration, according to Treasury, would require the Iranian government to change conduct that Washington regards as a threat to the United States and its partners.  For foreign companies, Operation Economic Outcast also carries a warning about maintaining commercial ties with Iran. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said businesses and governments that work with the

Solana stakers face yield cuts as a treasury firm fights to protect 99.4% of its revenue

Solanas live monetary-policy vote is forcing the network to confront a basic governance question: what happens when the validator setting a default vote for delegated stake has a disclosed interest in preserving staking yield?  Related Asset Solana #7 SOL · $96.83 24-hour change: up 1.18% 24H Up 1.18% 7D Up 27.58% 30D Up 30.33%  Solana Company provides the clearest test case. The Nasdaq-listed SOL treasury company and validator operator announced on Aug. 21 that it would oppose SGP-0002, a proposal to accelerate disinflation. Its earlier financial results showed that staking on company-held SOL produced $2.512 million of its $2.526 million in second-quarter revenue, or 99.4%.  Under Solana‘s new governance design, delegated stake follows a validator’s position by default. A native staker can override that position for an individual stake account before the validator votes, after it votes or when it abstains from voting. This makes the companys position influential while preserving a direct choice for the owners of its delegated stake.  On Aug. 23, SGP-0002 remained in voting with about 5.27 million SOL For, 547,019 SOL Against and zero Abstain across 24 votes. For represented about 90.6% of decisive stake at that moment. This was a timestamped snapshot, and the totals were already changing.  The

Stand With Crypto backs 32 lawmakers who supported CLARITY Act

Coinbase-backed Stand With Crypto has endorsed 32 House lawmakers seeking reelection in November after each supported the CLARITY Act during its passage through the chamber last year.  Stand With Crypto ties 32 endorsements to CLARITY vote  Reuters reported Monday that Stand With Crypto had selected 32 incumbent members of Congress for its latest endorsement round ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm elections.  All 32 lawmakers voted for the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act when the House passed the proposal in July 2025. The legislation would divide oversight of digital assets between the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission while setting rules for crypto exchanges and other market participants.  By using the House vote as a central test, the group has tied its election activity to a specific legislative record rather than party membership. Its latest list includes Republicans Tom Emmer of Minnesota and Bill Huizenga of Michigan, as well as Democrats Ritchie Torres of New York and Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey.  Stand With Crypto Executive Director Mason Lynaugh told Reuters that the organization wants to return lawmakers who supported the bill to Congress. The group plans to announce its Senate endorsements closer to Election Day.  “In 2024, we were very much
