    Cboe, S&P Dow Jones may explore tokenized options contracts under extended licensing deal

    Cboe Global Markets and S&P Dow Jones Indices extended their exclusive S&P 500 options licensing agreement through 2051, and the companies indicated they may collaborate on new products beyond traditional derivatives, including tokenized options contracts, although no specific details or timeline were announced. The potential move toward tokenization is part of a broader trend in the financial industry, where major market operators are exploring blockchain-based assets and derivatives, aiming to improve trading speed, automation, and efficiency. Tokenization involves putting traditional assets on blockchain systems, which could enable faster settlement and more automated functions like collateral management and contract settlement through smart contracts. The agreement signifies a possible expansion of innovation efforts into derivatives, as other institutions like Nasdaq, the NYSE, and DTCC are also working on blockchain and tokenization initiatives.

    Bitcoin gives back gains as long-term holder supply keeps $85K out of reach

    Bitcoin's recent gains were reversed after reaching around $84,450, as it dropped below $83,000 amidst a surge in US bond yields that hit multi-decade highs, with the 30-year yield surpassing 5.60% and the 10-year reaching 5.26%. The market showed resistance around the $85,000 level due to heavy long-term holder supply, which is clustered around that price point and increases the likelihood of profit-taking if Bitcoin surpasses it. Gold prices also experienced a significant decline of 3.6% earlier in the week amid rising yields, but rebounded slightly. US equities remained relatively stable despite geopolitical and economic uncertainties, while analysts noted that oversold conditions could support further upside in stock markets.

    Democrats killed the Clarity Act

    According to a CoinDesk article, last week, no Senate Democrat voted to advance the Clarity Act, which aims to establish clear regulations for digital assets to reduce transaction costs and enhance security. Despite bipartisan negotiations, Democrats reportedly refused to support the bill, even after over 120 changes were made to address their concerns. The legislation was designed to protect consumers, support entrepreneurs, and prevent abuse by criminals and foreign adversaries. The author suggests that political considerations, rather than public policy, influenced Democrats' decision to block the bill ahead of the upcoming election.

    Bitcoin surging to $100,000 may be in play, after outperforming gold

    According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin has recently surged more than 40% this quarter and is currently trading around $84,000, outperforming gold, which fell nearly 4% as yields increased. The price action suggests a potential rally toward $100,000, with a technical pattern called a "double bottom" signaling a bullish trend if resistance at $80,000 is broken, as noted by Jurrien Timmer of Fidelity Investments. Options traders are also betting heavily on Bitcoin reaching higher prices, with significant open interest in calls at $90,000, $95,000, and $100,000. Despite rising U.S. Treasury yields, analysts suggest that Bitcoin may continue its upward momentum, indicating an end to its previous downtrend.

    Bitcoin is on track to shatter a major decade-long streak as September gains surge

    Bitcoin has increased approximately 7% in September after a 25% gain in August, and if it closes positively this month, it would be the first such occurrence since 2013 when both months were positive consecutively. A positive September close would also mark three consecutive monthly gains from July through September and the first positive quarter since Q3 2025, with the third quarter rising over 40%. Despite these gains, the macro environment remains volatile, with rising bond yields, high oil prices, and a declining gold price contributing to inflation concerns. Factors such as a potential Anthropic IPO and the U.S. midterm elections could introduce additional volatility in Q4, according to the source.

    Near Intents blocks $50 million in Bitget hacker swaps, here's what happened

    NEAR Intents stopped approximately $503,000 linked to Bitget’s $388 million hack during cryptocurrency swaps, with about $166,000 passing through the service, according to its general manager, Alex Shevchenko. The protocol’s SHIELD system automatically detected deviations in flows and froze the funds, contrasting with THORChain’s refusal to block attacker addresses. NEAR Intents described itself as permissionless but took action to restrict the hacked funds, prompting debate over its open and uncensorable claims. The restricted funds are currently held pending legal and recovery proceedings, with no details provided on how they might be released or disputed.
