📡 On-the-hour Briefing | 02:00-03:00
1. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has approved the listing of Volatility Shares’ 3x Bitcoin futures ETF. The product is part of a series of six funds. The same batch also includes a 3x Ethereum ETF and leveraged products linked to gold, silver, crude oil, and natural gas.
2. The U.S. SEC has released a schedule for Treasury settlement. Eligible cash Treasury transactions must be submitted for central clearing by December 31, 2026, and repurchase agreements must be completed by June 30, 2027. This could affect the channels through which stablecoin issuers access short-term liquidity.
3. On September 15, the U.S. Senate voted on a procedural motion to begin full deliberation of the “Clarity Act.” The motion failed to advance, with 49 votes in favor and 50 against. The bill concerns the regulatory framework for the digital-asset market and the division of responsibilities among regulators.
4. Lina Khan, former chair of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, said existing laws are sufficient to apply to AI companies, and called for investigations into what companies know and have regarding information on AI agents. She warned that AI firms should not be allowed to self-regulate.
5. U.S. spot Ethereum funds saw an estimated net outflow of about $55.37 million in a single day. In the prior three trading days combined, net redemptions totaled about $118 million. Meanwhile, an index shows that among 50 tracked altcoins in a 90-day period, 33 have outperformed Bitcoin.
6. On-chain monitoring shows that 4,500 bitcoins were transferred from an unknown wallet to another newly created unknown wallet. Based on the transfer price, the value is approximately $384 million. Neither the sender nor the recipient address has been labeled for attribution.
7. Apple and Google are pushing through lobbying teams for U.S. state lawmakers to adopt children’s online safety legislation. Their proposed measures require users to complete age verification via self-reporting and exclude private right of action clauses. Meta supports a different type of bill that places the responsibility for age verification on app stores.
8. The Yemeni government announced it has launched a military offensive aimed at retaking areas under Houthi control. The specific scope of the operations, troop levels, and timing arrangements have not been detailed in the information currently available.
