💲 Tether Rejects MiCA License

Tether declined to apply for a MiCA license in the EU over reserve rules.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said the rules require 60% of significant stablecoin issuers’ reserves in commercial bank deposits, making stablecoins less protected. EU deposit insurance covers only €100,000.

“When MiCA becomes safer for consumers and stablecoin issuers, we may reconsider the decision,” Ardoino said.

🇺🇸 CFTC Warns on Tokenization

CFTC Chair Michael Selig told a US Treasury market conference organized by the New York Fed that markets must prepare for mass tokenization, on-chain finance and 24/7 trading.

“The next decade will likely bring more change to financial markets than the previous several decades combined,” Selig said.

In February 2026, CFTC expanded eligible collateral to include stablecoins from national trust banks and sought comments on 24/7 energy derivatives trading. Crypto legislation is “stuck in the Senate,” so CFTC and SEC are advancing the agenda independently.

📈 Binance Research on RWA Use

About 12% of tokenized assets are used in DeFi, says Binance Research. Tokenized stocks and bonds can enter liquidity pools, serve as collateral, or be borrowed against.

The CAR measures about $12 deployed per $100 invested in RWA. Private credit leads at 49.67%. Equities rose from 1.95% to 7.54% at the start of the year.

Since January, RWA grew 85.2% to $34.18 billion, and equities 390.4% to $4.43 billion, or 0.0029% of global public-company market capitalization.

Analysts say token use could become as important as issuance. By 2030, tokenized equities could reach ~$349 billion. Raising CAR from 10% to 20% would double deployed capital to $69.87 billion without new tokens.

‼️ Zcash Echoes Ethereum’s Path

David Hoffman of Bankless compared Zcash in 2026 with Ethereum in 2021. He said ZEC has become a major destination for Bitcoin holders moving part of their capital.

Bitcoin’s market cap is about $1.7 trillion, versus $26 billion for Zcash. Hoffman said even a small capital shift could significantly affect ZEC, citing privacy and investment diversification as reasons for interest.

He also highlighted NEAR as an alternative to major smart-contract platforms that could attract capital from ecosystems including Ethereum and Solana.

🙄 ARK Tokenizes Venture Fund

ARK Invest and Securitize are putting ARK Venture Fund (ARKVX) on the blockchain. The actively managed fund holds stakes in private and public companies, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe and Databricks.

💵 Bitget Reports $351.6M Losses

Bitget CEO Gracy Chen confirmed $351.6 million in losses. Outflows stopped, and cold wallets were unaffected.

Attackers breached the internal wallet-management system and falsified transfer data. Bitget rules out leaked private keys. North Korean hackers are preliminary suspects based on IP and VPN overlaps. Some funds were recovered, but the amount is undisclosed.

Withdrawals remain suspended with no restart date. Deposits and trading work. Bitget’s protection fund, worth over $464 million, is expected to cover losses. In March 2025, Chen warned Hyperliquid could become “FTX 2.0.” That comparison now applies to Bitget.

🚩 Magic Eden NFT Drain

Magic Eden users who listed NFTs on Ethereum should revoke their approvals. On September 25, CirrusNFT spotted one wallet taking 3,832 NFTs from hundreds of wallets through Magic Eden sales at 0 ETH.

Yuga Labs CEO Michael Figge said the vulnerability was found hours earlier. 0xQuit is securing the assets in a white-hat operation. NFTs at 0x71cF...fe33 are reportedly safe and will be returned once the risk is removed.

The suspected cause is old approvals for a contract of the former Ethereum marketplace, closed in spring 2026. The haul was estimated at $1.4 million, but that figure is unconfirmed.

🧠 Gates Warns on AI Regulation

Bill Gates said, “No one thinks self-regulation is enough.” Asked if Washington needs legislation, he replied: “Absolutely yes.”

“Law enforcement and politicians need to join the discussion” on safeguards and monitoring, he said. This would add minimal administrative burden without slowing progress.

Warning that the risk exists now, Gates said: “AI is powerful enough to trigger events with a billion deaths. There has never been a weapon as powerful as people with malicious intent combined with the latest AI tools.”
