What Are Mention Markets and Why Is the CFTC Targeting Them？

Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) staff told exchanges on September 22 that mention markets may be presumptively open to manipulation. Exchanges are expected to address four factors to list them, but no ban followed.　　Mention markets are yes-or-no contracts on whether a person says a word during a speech, earnings call, or social post. Consequently, the outcome can rest in the speakers hands.　　Sponsored　　Sponsored　　Why Does the CFTC Presume Mention Markets Can Be Manipulated？　　The agencys Division of Market Oversight (DMO) addressed the advisory to designated contract markets (DCMs), which are CFTC-registered exchanges.　　Core Principle 3 of the Commodity Exchange Act bars exchanges from listing contracts readily susceptible to manipulation.　　A CFTC release on Mention Markets: Image Source: CFTC　　Most prediction market event contracts settle on outcomes no single person controls, such as election results or economic data releases.　　A mention contract, by contrast, settles on one persons conduct. That person, or someone close to them, may sway the result or learn it early.　　The CFTCs label also covers contracts on event attendance and interactions such as handshakes.　　Sponsored　　Sponsored　　For example, the advisory cites a livestreamed podcast host and a catchphrase. A trader could tilt the outcome by paying for a shout-out.　　In practice, the risk has materialized once already. On August

Stablecoins can drain from banks and nations at lightning speed

Anyone whos ever sent a bank transfer overseas is familiar with the painful process of waiting for things like working hours, correspondent banks and settlement times.　　In many cases, it would be faster, cheaper and just more efficient to strap the physical cash to a homing pigeon, or slap it in an envelope and send it via DHL.　　Stablecoins can move money across borders around the clock, without waiting for the legacy system to fire up its steam engines.　　They can settle transactions 24/7, cut out layers of intermediaries and give people access to digital dollars without even needing a traditional bank account.　　So do we even need banks any more？ And what are the ramifications of stablecoins offering a faster, cheaper and easier way to move money？　　The two clocks　　Anthony Vassallo, director of crypto at Silicon Valley Bank, which failed in March 2023 and now operates as a division of First Citizens Bank, tells Magazine competition from stablecoins will show up across two time frames:　　“Two clocks matter. One is slow: currency substitution, deposit erosion, and weakening policy transmission building over months or years. One is fast: a depeg, issuer shock, or banking event that can move capital at software speed within hours.”　　The European Central

Ethereums zkAPI brings privacy-preserving API payments to mainnet

The Ethereum Foundation announced on Thursday that zkAPI, a system built with the Open Anonymity Project to let users pay for AI and other API services without revealing their billing identities, has gone live on Ethereum mainnet.　　Users deposit funds into an Ethereum vault, then use zero-knowledge proofs to prove they have enough credit to pay for API requests without revealing which deposits are theirs, according to a post from Vittorio Rivabella, AI coordinator at the Ethereum Foundations dAI team.　　One of the immediate use cases of the system is paying for the use of AI without linking the payment to a user. zkAPI issues short-lived API keys with predefined spending limits. Prompts are sent directly to the AI provider, while usage is settled separately through the payment layer. The project has also released a local client and software development kit, along with a browser-based AI chat implementation.　　The launch follows a February proposal by Ethereum Foundation researcher Davide Crapis and Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin for ZK-based API usage credits. The new release turns that design into a working mainnet implementation.　　The concept was presented as a way to give users private, prepaid access to AI and other metered APIs. However, zkAPI does not

Tokenized assets dont always mirror traditional markets, Dune finds

Tokenized markets show different trading and investment patterns from traditional markets, according to a new Dune report comparing onchain and off-chain activity across equities, credit, commodities and cash-equivalent products.　　Dune found the difference pronounced in equities, where single stocks accounted for 81% of tokenized equity spot supply while exchange-traded funds (ETFs) made up 19%.　　Armand Khatri, head of ecosystem at Ondo Finance, said tokenization gives investors more control over asset selection by reducing their dependence on local intermediaries offerings.　　“The investor decides which they want,” he said, referring to the choice between single-company and index exposure.　　Dune put the value of tokenized real-world assets at $34.5 billion as of Aug. 31, up more than 140% from a year earlier, with cash equivalents still dominating supply while equities were the most actively traded segment.　　Related: Base completes Cobalt upgrade, adds new tools for tokenized assets　　Tokenized equities remain a fraction of global markets　　Separate Binance Research data cited by Binance co-CEO Richard Teng put the tokenized equity market at $4.43 billion as of Sept. 15, up 390% in 2026 but equivalent to just 0.0029% of the $151.9 trillion global listed-equity market.　　Binance Research projected tokenized equities could reach about $349 billion by 2030 under its base-case scenario.

SEC moves to clear custody hurdle for advisers offering crypto

The US securities regulator has proposed easing rules governing how investment advisers and funds hold crypto, potentially clearing a regulatory hurdle that has held some businesses back from offering clients digital asset investments.　　The proposal, published on Thursday, would let investment advisers hold clients crypto assets themselves when no eligible crypto custodian is available, with conditions. It would also allow state trust companies to serve as crypto custodians.　　“The crypto asset market has grown from a niche curiosity into a multi-trillion-dollar asset class to which investors actively seek exposure. Unfortunately, our rules and regulations have not kept pace,” US Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Paul Atkins said in a statement.　　The proposal targets a practical barrier to crypto investment: investment advisers can struggle to find a qualified custodian for a particular token, limiting the investments they can offer clients.　　The Digital Chamber has previously raised concerns about the lack of qualified crypto custodians. In a May 2025 submission to the SEC, the Digital Chamber said some advisers had declined token allocations or asked portfolio companies to retain them until custody became available.　　In a statement on Thursday, SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce likened the uncertainty to a regulatory “roller coaster,” saying advisers have been “gritting their
