Advocacy group pushes back on banks lawsuit against OCC over charters

The Crypto Council for Innovation (CCI) has backed the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency‘s (OCC’s) move to approve several charters for crypto companies, saying a lawsuit filed by the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) was an attempt to stifle innovation.　　On Monday, CCI CEO Ji Hun Kim said that the ICBA lawsuit was a “clear attempt to resist national trust charters, payments innovation, and competition in financial services.” The crypto advocacy organization supported the OCCs approvals and conditional approvals of crypto companies for national trust charters, despite accusations from some lawmakers that exchanges “want to evade the fundamental safeguards and obligations that come with being a bank.”　　The ICBA legal action, filed on Friday in the US District Court for the District of Columbia, alleged that the OCC approved US bank charters for entities, including crypto companies, without sufficient safeguards or compliance with requirements normally used for banks.　　“Congress did not create the national trust charter as a side door into the banking system for crypto firms seeking the credibility of a federal bank charter without the Community Reinvestment Act obligations, consolidated supervision, capital and liquidity standards, and FDIC insurance that apply to insured depository institutions,” said ICBA president and

US credit spreads eased on October 2 after widening beyond the weakest borrowers

US corporate credit spreads widened beyond the weakest borrowers from September 25 to October 1, creating a broader test of whether tighter financing and reduced institutional risk-taking could pressure Bitcoin. The largest increase remained concentrated in CCC-and-lower debt, while investment-grade bonds showed a much smaller rise.　　Related Asset Bitcoin #1 BTC · $85,673.70 24-hour change: up 0.30% Loading price history… 24H Up 0.30% 7D Up 2.81% 30D Up 7.34%　　These option-adjusted spreads measure the premium over a Treasury curve. Their widening shows investors demanding more compensation to hold corporate debt. A borrowers total interest cost also depends on the Treasury component.　　The ICE BofA CCC credit spread climbed from 11.28% to 12.15%, an increase of 87 basis points. Over the same dates, the broad high-yield spread rose from 2.93% to 3.24%, or 31 basis points.

Can Hedera price break $0.12 in October as weekly signals turn bullish？

Hedera price has retreated about 23% from its late-September peak near $0.131, leaving HBAR close to $0.101 as traders assess whether support at $0.10 can hold through October.　　TradingViews Binance HBAR/USDT daily chart places Hedera at $0.10120, down 2.70% for the displayed session. The token traded between $0.10019 and $0.10489, keeping the latest decline close to the round-number support level.　　The late-September advance briefly carried HBAR toward $0.131 before a steep reversal returned it to the low-$0.10 range. Based on those chart levels, the retreat amounts to approximately 22.7%, while a return to the peak would require a gain of about 29.4% from $0.10120.　　The daily and weekly charts present different conditions. Daily price action shows weaker momentum after the spike, but the weekly chart retains a bullish Supertrend signal and a positive momentum reading. Octobers recovery case therefore depends on whether nearby support survives while HBAR works through resistance above its current price.　　Hedera price faces an early test at $0.1117　　On TradingViews daily chart, the Ichimoku conversion line stands at $0.11166, while the base line is $0.10146.

Aave hikes GHO borrow rates to rescue depleted stablecoin pools

Aave‘s Ethereum Core market lists a 4.5% borrowing rate for GHO, aligning the stablecoin’s borrowing cost with the savings rate TokenLogic reported on Oct. 2.　　Related Asset GHO GHO · Stablecoin　　The next test is whether the change brings USDC or USDT into the reserves available to savers who choose to convert withdrawn GHO into USDC or USDT.　　Aave describes its savings token (sGHO) as redeemable instantly into GHO, so a holder who wants USDC needs a separate conversion. A higher borrowing rate can change the incentive to repay, but the route used to acquire that repayment GHO determines whether stablecoins enter the reserves.　　Related Asset Aave AAVE · $181.82 24-hour change: up 1.18%　　The DAO service provider reported a depleted USDC GHO Stability Module (GSM) on Oct. 2, and said the rate increase should help replenish reserves if borrowers obtain repayment GHO through the modules.　　Related Asset USDC USDC · Stablecoin　　The effect on reserves depends on borrowers bringing stablecoins into those modules, and the new rate alone does not demonstrate improved USDC conversion liquidity.　　Aavescans Core GHO data dated Oct. 5 displays a 4.5% borrow APR.

US Treasury drops proposed reporting rules for wallets and crypto mixers

The U.S. Treasury has moved to withdraw two proposed crypto rules from 2020 and 2023 that would have expanded financial institutions reporting and recordkeeping duties for self-custody wallets and mixing transactions.　　FinCEN, the Treasury bureau responsible for enforcing the Bank Secrecy Act, said it would take no further action on its proposed wallet rule, while a separate notice withdrew both the mixer proposal and its underlying money laundering finding. Deputy Director Jimmy L. Kirby signed both documents, which were filed for public inspection on Oct. 5.　　In explaining the wallet decision, the bureau cited the Trump administration‘s efforts to ensure digital asset regulations are “fit-for-purpose.” Both notices referred to the July 2025 report from the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets.　　US Treasury drops wallet reporting and identity checks　　According to the wallet notice, the December 2020 proposal would have required banks and money services businesses to collect information about certain crypto transfers involving wallets held outside regulated financial institutions.　　Under the proposed framework, institutions would have kept transaction and counterparty records and verified their customers identity when a covered transfer exceeded $3,000. For transactions above $10,000, they would also have submitted a report to FinCEN, the notice explained.　　The reporting threshold also covered several

New CFTC Crypto Rule Takes Lessons From the $8 Billion FTX Fraud

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) opened public comment on Monday for new crypto trading rules that exchanges could choose to join. Chairman Michael Selig cited FTX, whose founders misappropriated about $8 billion in customer funds.　　The CFTC regulates futures and other bets on commodity prices. Yet the one FTX unit it oversaw kept customer money safe, while about 130 sister companies went bankrupt.　　Sponsored　　Sponsored　　What the CFTC Wants to Regulate in Crypto Trading　　The notice is an early step that asks for public feedback before any rule is written. It covers retail crypto trades made with borrowed money or platform financing.　　Federal law already requires such deals to run on a CFTC-regulated exchange. The agency now wants crypto-specific rules, including a new exchange category called a “crypto asset market.”　　“Under my leadership, the Commission will take every necessary step to establish regulations that are designed to prevent, rather than only prosecute after the fact, fraudulent schemes such as FTX,” Selig wrote.　　Selig‘s announcement revisited an old CNBC coverage of FTX’s $32 billion valuation.　　Sponsored　　Sponsored　　What Exchanges Gain and Give Up by Signing Up　　In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, Selig said the rules would not force crypto onto CFTC platforms.
