CFTC to bring spot crypto trading into the “white field”

1. The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is preparing to launch spot trading of BTC and ETH with leverage on DCM-licensed exchanges, which previously could only trade futures.

2. Now, transactions with real crypto assets will be able to take place under federal supervision, just like trading in oil or gold. The crypto market, which previously existed in the “gray area” of private crypto exchanges, has a chance to become an official part of the US financial system.

3. This format will create a transparent and regulated environment for institutional investors, where cryptocurrency transactions will be protected by familiar regulatory standards.

4. Participants in the initiative include Coinbase, Bitnomial, Kalshi, Polymarket, and other DCM-licensed exchanges ready to support the transition to a new level of regulation.

5. At the same time, Commissioner Caroline Pham is carrying out a structural reform of the CFTC, promoting the idea of tokenized collateral in stablecoins, which is scheduled to be approved in early 2026.If the initiative is implemented, the CFTC will establish jurisdiction over the “commodity” part of the crypto market, while the SEC will continue to regulate tokens recognized as securities.

6. Caroline Fam has already confirmed the launch of the initiative on her X profile.

China's “crypto queen” sentenced in London

Chinese entrepreneur Zhiming Qian was sentenced in London to 11 years and 8 months in prison for large-scale laundering of $6.4 billion through Bitcoin. According to investigators, she used cryptocurrency to conceal funds obtained from thousands of elderly investors who invested in her fictitious “technology” company.Back in 2018, British police confiscated 61,000 BTC from Qian — the largest amount of cryptocurrency ever seized in the UK.

After fleeing China, the businesswoman settled in an upscale neighborhood of London, where she exchanged bitcoins for cash through trusted individuals and invested in real estate.

The court hearing on the distribution of seized assets is scheduled for 2026. During this time, the value of Bitcoin has grown more than 20 times, which complicates the process of compensating victims. Experts note that it will be extremely difficult to establish a direct link between investors' funds and Qian's crypto accounts due to the complex chain of intermediaries and conversions.

Robert Kiyosaki said he owes the bank $1.2 billion

The author of the bestseller Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki, admitted on The Iced Coffee Hour podcast that his current debt is about $1.2 billion.

During the conversation, hosts Graham Stephan and Jack Selby asked if he was concerned about such an impressive amount of debt. To which Kiyosaki replied with his usual sarcasm:«If you owe the bank 20 million, that's your problem, but if you owe the bank a billion and can't pay it back, that's the bank's problem.»

Kiyosaki emphasized that his debts are not related to wasteful spending, but rather to investments in real estate, manufacturing, and income-generating assets. According to him, the ability to use “good debt” is one of the key skills of a financially literate person, which distinguishes an investor from an ordinary consumer.Rich Dad, Poor Dad is a famous book on financial self-development written by Robert Kiyosaki.

Michael Saylor's (MicroStrategy) structure has moved approximately $6 billion worth of bitcoins to new addresses over the past few hours.

Some suggest that this may be preparation for OTC transactions, while others believe that the company is preparing a loan transfer to purchase additional BTC.

However, the most realistic explanation is that this is a routine restructuring of asset storage. All indications point to this being a technical transfer of coins rather than a sale.

Analysts note that BTC is preparing to form a death cross—the intersection of the 50-day moving average with the 200-day moving average from top to bottom.

In the past, such signals sometimes led to rebounds even in a bull market, but at the end of 4-year cycles, the picture was different: 2014, 2017, and 2021 were accompanied by noticeable corrections after the appearance of the “death cross.” Now BTC is approaching this level again.

If, after the crossover, Bitcoin manages to update its ATH, it will be a signal that the classic four-year cycle may be broken for the first time in history.

Wintermute released a report

Where they note: the correlation between BTC and the Nasdaq-100 index remains very strong — approximately 0.8. But despite all this “friendship” Bitcoin does not benefit from the stock market; it moves in sync with it mainly when things are going badly.

Analysts also emphasized that such negative asymmetry — when an asset reacts negatively but does not rush to rejoice along with the market — historically appears more often not at the peaks but closer to the bottom.

The Bitcoin system proves to be socially useful and valuable, so node operators will feel that they are making a useful contribution to the world through their efforts (similar to various projects where people voluntarily provide their computing resources for good causes).

In this case, I think simple altruism may be enough to make the network work properly.

This is very attractive from a libertarian point of view, if we can explain it correctly. Although I am better at code than words.
