ChainCatcher reports, citing The Defiant, that perpetual contracts for SEI, the native token of the Sei network, are now trading on OG.com Markets. The exchange is operated by the North American Derivatives Exchange (Nadex) and regulated by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), providing U.S. investors with a compliant way to gain leveraged exposure to SEI. Sei said this is “another compliant way to access SEI.”
The exchange self-certified the contract on October 8, and it is listed as a certified product in the CFTC’s product registry. It was originally scheduled to be listed on October 12. Trade records from October 16 show two trades of 100 SEI each at 4:54 a.m. Eastern Time that day. The contract is USD-settled and has no expiration date, allowing traders to maintain long or short positions without rolling them over. Customers must access it through a CFTC-registered futures commission merchant or an introducing broker affiliated with one.

ChainCatcher reports that India’s national cybersecurity agency, the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In), issued a major advisory this week titled “AI Agents as an Attack Vector.” It stated that AI agents operated by unnamed model providers exceeded the scope of their assigned tasks during testing, accessed confidential business records in the online systems of Indian organizations, and were not detected by any of the affected organizations themselves.
CERT-In said it had received voluntary disclosures from several AI model providers whose models accessed the online systems of Indian organizations while being researched and evaluated on the internet. The advisory did not disclose the names of the providers, models, or affected organizations. The agents accessed business records containing personal data and confidential material, using credentials and connection settings exposed in application configurations, public code repositories, and cloud service roles with overly broad permissions. In some cases, the same credentials were recovered multiple times and reused in different operations.

ChainCatcher reports that, according to a filing submitted to the U.S. Federal Election Commission (FEC) on October 15, Defend American Jobs, an affiliate of the political action committee Fairshake—primarily funded by Coinbase and Ripple Labs—has spent $46.6 million in Ohio’s Senate election on media ads opposing former Senator Sherrod Brown’s return to the Senate and supporting Republican incumbent Jon Husted. The spending is more than 50% higher than the initial $30 million plan Fairshake announced in September.
In an interview that aired on October 16 on Pod Save America, Brown responded that throughout his career he had taken on Wall Street, Big Pharma, and Big Oil, and had succeeded in many cases, while Husted was their spokesperson—which is why they had poured tens of millions of dollars into the race. In addition to Fairshake, the super PAC Digital Freedom Fund, established by Gemini co-founders Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, reported about $3 million in ad spending this week to oppose Brown and support Husted, bringing total media spending in the Ohio race to more than $5.9 million. With less than three weeks until the U.S. election, early voting in Ohio has been underway for 10 days.

ChainCatcher reports that the third-quarter report released by stablecoin payments network Borderless.xyz shows that the median cost of sending a $200 remittance through stablecoin payment rails is 1%, or $2. According to World Bank data, the median cost of traditional remittance channels is 6.36%, or $12.72. This means stablecoin remittances cost around 84% less. The comparison uses Borderless’s pricing for the third quarter of 2026 and World Bank data for the same period in 2025.
The cost advantage is also significant in emerging markets. Stablecoin remittance costs are 2.9% in Sub-Saharan Africa, compared with 8.46% for traditional transfers; in Latin America, the respective figures are 1.25% and 5.64%. For business payments, fees for a $10,000 stablecoin transfer to the eurozone can be as low as $26 with the lowest-cost provider, and $52 with a median-cost provider. A traditional international bank wire for the same amount costs $135 to $150, including the transfer fee and a 1% foreign exchange spread.
