Odaily report: The California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) has submitted a comment letter to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) opposing its "Regulation Crypto Assets" proposal, stating that the plan could weaken investor protection and limit state government review of issuance projects. DFPI Commissioner KC Mohseni said California opposes federal regulators undermining state-level regulatory authority and protective measures.The proposal would allow eligible issuers to raise up to $5 million over four years through a startup exemption; another crypto fundraising exemption would allow issuers to raise up to $75 million within 12 months. Relevant issuances would need to disclose project details, risks, and other information necessary for investor assessment, and some fundraisings would also require submission of financial statements and ongoing reporting.Federal securities laws still preserve states' authority to investigate securities fraud, deceptive practices, and illegal broker or dealer activities. Blockchain payments company Ripple, crypto exchange Coinbase, and exchange operator Nasdaq all support adjusting the proposal; the DFPI said its scam tracker list added nearly 200 crypto-related scams, an increase of 30% from the previous year.

Odaily reports: Bitcoin News posted on X platform that Lightning Labs has opened Wavelength to all users, allowing AI agents to autonomously send and receive payments on the Bitcoin mainnet via the Lightning Network and L402, without requiring manual approval for each transaction. AI agents can use it to pay API call fees, purchase data, and transact with other agents, with individual fees as low as under 1 cent; developers can integrate payment functionality into applications without running a Lightning Network node, managing channels, or sourcing liquidity. The self-custodial toolkit supports independent on-chain exits, with each wallet initially capped at 300,000 sats, and Lightning Network payments incur a 0.25% service fee. Wavelength is currently still in Alpha and plans to support stablecoins.
Bitcoin News posted on X that researchers claim Tailscale has a critical vulnerability: users with approved access permissions can exploit its built-in SSH to gain root access on devices, and the attack may also spread to other devices on the network.

Galaxy Research has published an analysis stating that over the past three weeks, approximately 40 inscriptions composed of random letters have appeared on the Bitcoin network each day, with content that appears to be encrypted text but is not actually cryptographic information. The relevant addresses had previously inscribed the U.S. Constitution onto the Bitcoin network in May. The study found that after analyzing 562 texts, the frequency distribution of the 26 English letters was nearly uniform, clearly differing from normal English and substitution cipher characteristics; metrics such as word length distribution and repeated word frequency also indicated that these texts were likely generated by a random letter generator.Galaxy Research refers to the operator as "Babel Scribe," believing that the activity is more likely testing a data publishing tool on the Bitcoin mainnet rather than attempting to convey hidden messages. The on-chain transaction structure, the continuous use of change addresses, and the regular timing of publications all display characteristics of automated scripts. Related activities also include test texts, random words in different languages, binary data, and the subsequent inscription of the U.S. Declaration of Independence. It is estimated that the project has transferred in approximately 3.33 million satoshis in total, of which about 24% was used to pay miner fees, with the remaining funds still held in the relevant addresses. The researchers suggest that there is no need to interpret these garbled texts as hidden messages.
Odaily reports: The U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has finalized implementation rules for the GENIUS Act, applicable to permitted payment stablecoin issuers, foreign issuers under OCC jurisdiction, and certain custodial activities of regulated entities, covering reserve backing, redemption, and risk management. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called the legislation a "watershed moment for American finance," likening it to the National Currency Act of 1863. The final rules did not incorporate Bank Secrecy Act, anti-money laundering, or OFAC sanctions provisions; these matters will be addressed through subsequent rules coordinated with the Treasury Department. The GENIUS Act was signed into law in July 2025, and regulators failed to finalize rules before the July 18, 2026 deadline; the Federal Reserve proposed two related rules in September 2026. Both the GENIUS Act and the OCC's final rules are set to take effect on January 18, 2027, and the OCC has not yet announced a timeline for accepting issuer applications and exemption requests.
Solana co-founder Toly has put forward an early concept for a validator stake-weighted oracle, in which Solana validators would vote weighted by their proportion of staked SOL to price tokenized collateral in support of network transactions, with taxes levied on related profits to increase network revenue. However, this concept comes immediately after the Alpenglow upgrade proposal on October 21, and is currently not a formal governance proposal, nor is there any voting arrangement or implementation timeline.
Stellar updated its Bell upgrade guide on October 23 in preparation for Protocol 30. Wallet, exchange, and infrastructure operators need to upgrade their software before the November network vote to support new contract addresses beginning with W; JavaScript SDK v17.3.0 was released on October 21, providing encoding/decoding and validation tools. Bell supports contract addresses carrying customer identifiers, and indexers and explorers also need to adapt to changes in the ledger header format; this upgrade also adds ML-DSA post-quantum signature verification and millisecond-level ledger timestamps, while ordinary transactions still use Ed25519 and the current block interval remains unchanged. Testnet validator voting is scheduled for November 3 at 17:00 UTC, and mainnet voting is scheduled for November 23 at 17:00 UTC, taking effect after approval, and the dates may change.
Odaily Report: The XRPL maintenance amendment fixCleanup3_4_0 restarted its activation clock after losing validator majority in the first countdown, regaining majority support on October 21. The earliest activation window has been moved to November 4, but support must be maintained. A snapshot at 07:09 UTC on October 24 shows that 32 of 35 trusted validators support the amendment, a support rate of 91.43%, with the new majority support timestamp at 14:46:22 UTC on October 21. The amendment was first initiated on October 9, lost majority on October 21, and the clock was reset because it failed to meet the requirement of two consecutive weeks of support. According to the rules, more than 80% of trusted validators must support it for two consecutive weeks before activation; if support falls below that threshold, the clock resets. November 4 is only a conditional earliest activation window. This technical fix package involves features including vaults, lending, AMM, permissioned trading, trust lines, and NFTs.
