Odaily News: Avalanche stated on October 13 that the Korea Securities Depository (KSD) is building Avalanche-based infrastructure connectivity for South Korea's security token market. KSD's technical guidance lists Avalanche alongside Hyperledger Besu and Hyperledger Fabric as one of multiple ledger technologies planned for support, rather than the sole choice. The project has moved from the testbed stage to the production platform construction phase, with Samsung SDS winning the contract to build it. It is scheduled for completion in February 2027, at which point it will support real transactions and on-chain settlement.
Odaily News: Bitget has officially launched its rToken US stock transfer feature, currently supporting 3,000+ US stocks and ETFs. Users can transfer eligible stock assets from traditional brokerage accounts to Bitget, and upon arrival, the stocks will be automatically converted into spot US stock rTokens based on the corresponding share quantity. Bitget charges no fees throughout the entire transfer process.After transfer, the rTokens can be directly integrated into Bitget's Universal Exchange (UEX) ecosystem, where they can be used for wealth management, lending, margin, and other yield-generating products, enhancing the capital efficiency and use cases of stock assets. To coincide with the feature launch, Bitget has simultaneously introduced a reward campaign featuring a total of $1 million in SpaceX stock tokens (rSPCX). Users can earn corresponding SpaceX stock rewards based on their transfer amounts, with rewards distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Users can select the stocks and quantities they wish to transfer on the US stock transfer page and use the in-page reward calculator to view the estimated transfer amount and corresponding campaign rewards.Bitget CEO Gracy Chen stated: "This feature is designed to help investors consolidate stock assets scattered across different brokerages into a unified ecosystem without selling their existing holdings, enabling flexible allocation across asset classes."

Odaily News: On October 8, Metis announced the launch of the Metis Rise monthly developer incentive program, rewarding teams that deploy new AI Agents on the Metis Andromeda mainnet, acquire real users, and generate real on-chain economic activity.Metis stated that while many teams can currently build Agents capable of answering questions, Agents that can get paid, prove their identity, and earn sustained transaction trust remain scarce. Metis Rise aims to support developers in exploring this direction, help developers innovate, and drive the growth of AI Agent applications within the Metis ecosystem.Metis also stated that it is building an execution and data layer for AI Agents, and that Andromeda's decentralized sequencer (DSeq) can eliminate the single point of failure that trustless transactions between Agents depend on.The program focuses on the "economic usability" of AI Agents, covering four categories of needs: payments (x402), identity (ERC-8004), stablecoin escrow (Escrow), and independently verifiable on-chain signature receipts.In terms of participation thresholds, developers need to meet the following conditions each month:- At least 15 valid monthly active users;- Each counted user must complete at least 3 qualifying transactions on Metis Andromeda, or settle an amount of no less than $2 (m.USDC, m.USDT, or METIS);- Primary user transactions, settlement volume, and Gas consumption must occur on the Metis Andromeda mainnet.The program is open to all developers, but is limited to projects newly deployed on the Andromeda mainnet. It supports any AI Agent framework and hosting method, including ClawUp, GOAT AgentKit, or self-built backends, and supports a dual-chain architecture based on GOAT Network. Metis Rise is hosted by Metis, with ClawUp, GOAT Network, and LazAI as ecosystem partners.
Odaily reports: Blockchain project Tempo has released a report stating that the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is proposing to adjust stablecoin accounting rules, allowing qualifying tokens to be classified as cash equivalents on corporate balance sheets, potentially reducing accounting barriers to corporate stablecoin adoption.Under current accounting practices, stablecoins—even when fully backed by U.S. dollars—may not qualify for inclusion in a company's reported cash reserves, thereby affecting liquidity ratios and loan covenants. The proposed rules would allow companies to use stablecoins for payments and settlements, but would require them to have direct redemption rights against the issuer.Purchasing USDC through an exchange may not necessarily qualify for cash equivalent recognition. In its 2025 annual report, Coinbase classified USDC and other payment-type stablecoins as cash equivalents, based on its redemption arrangement with Circle.The public comment period for the FASB's proposed rules will run until November 19, after which the board will review feedback and determine the final accounting changes and effective date. The proposal comes as the market size of USD stablecoins has surpassed $300 billion. (Cointelegraph)
PPP Prediction Market Tool monitoring shows that Polymarket odds for "Next Fable model to be released by October 24" have risen to 65%, up 13% in 24 hours.If Anthropic releases a Fable 5.2 or higher version model to the public between market creation and the specified deadline (Eastern Time), it resolves as "Yes"; otherwise, it resolves as "No."The model name or identifier must contain "Fable" and the version must be no lower than 5.2, including next-generation versions such as Fable 6. Public beta or open-registration waitlists qualify; closed beta and private access do not count. If a version name appears only on the official website but the model is not actually made available, it also does not qualify.Resolution is primarily based on Anthropic's official announcements and official website information, with reference to consistent reporting from credible media outlets.Join the PPP Signal Push Community to stay one step ahead and seize the initiative.
Odaily News: The Finance Committee of the French National Assembly has passed amendment No. I-CF821, which would require holders of self-custodied crypto assets valued at or above €100,000 (approximately $112,000) to declare their holdings.The declared value is based on December 31 of each year, and those who fail to declare as required may face fines of up to €10,000. The proposal was put forward by Charles de Courson, Jean-Pierre Bataille, and Michel Castellani, aiming to combat tax evasion.The amendment still needs to be resubmitted and approved when the National Assembly reviews the revenue portion of the budget before it can be incorporated into French law. After the Finance Committee passed the relevant amendment, it rejected the revenue portion of the 2027 budget by a vote of 31 to 3, and lawmakers are expected to begin debate on Tuesday starting from the government's original draft.

Odaily reports: Zcash full-node development team Zakura has stated that the network is expected to introduce a quantum-resistant signature opcode in January, enabling hash-based signatures for transparent payments. Zcash's transparent payments publicly display transaction information, while shielded payments hide the sender, receiver, and amount.The proposal combines address rotation with private information retrieval, allowing wallets to switch to a new address after each transaction and reduce public key exposure risk through WOTS hash-based fallback signatures. The Vizor wallet launched its private query feature this week, allowing users to enable it for testing in the settings.Zakura's proposal currently only covers Zcash transparent payments, and the network has not yet confirmed the activation time for the opcode. Ethereum researcher Justin Drake has warned that AI-driven mathematical breakthroughs could crack the relevant signatures in months rather than years; Vitalik Buterin believes it is possible that cryptographic technology could be broken within the next two years.

According to official website information, the HyperEVM-based synthetic perpetual protocol Papertrade has officially launched. Its pre-deposits have closed, with 11,465 addresses depositing $138 million.
Odaily News: The French National Assembly's Finance Committee this week approved two crypto tax amendments: starting January 1, 2027, converting MiCA-regulated stablecoins will be treated as a taxable sale; and a proposed exit tax on tax households whose total crypto asset value exceeds 800,000 euros and who relocate abroad.On October 9, the committee rejected the budget revenue section by a vote of 31 to 3. The full National Assembly will deliberate based on the government's original text, and the above amendments will not be automatically included. Supporters will need to reintroduce them during debates starting October 13, with the formal vote scheduled for October 20. The related measures have not yet become law.The stablecoin amendment was proposed by left-wing GDR party member Nicolas Sansu and 16 co-signatories, and applies to electronic money tokens as defined by MiCA. The amendment does not set a new tax rate, but instead seeks to include the relevant gains under France's existing 31.4% flat tax regime.The committee also approved an amendment proposed by Daniel Labaronne, allowing investors to carry forward crypto asset losses for 10 years to offset future gains. The proposed exit tax applies to taxpayers who have been French tax residents for at least 6 of the past 10 years and whose total crypto assets, including custody assets, exceed 800,000 euros in value.

NEAR Protocol announced that NEAR accounts now support the post-quantum ML-DSA signature scheme, enabling users to complete key upgrades without any asset migration. Meanwhile, the NEAR One team is advancing the NEP-655 proposal, which derives implicit accounts via an initial state hash, storing assets behind the hash so that no public keys or key hashes are exposed on-chain. It is currently live on the testnet and expected to launch on the mainnet within weeks. Additionally, the team is designing NEAR Intents Wallet Contracts that support custom signature extensions (including ML-DSA and hash-based schemes), and developing a NEAR-based Q-day recovery registry for external chains that have not yet deployed PQ keys, allowing users to submit recovery keys in a rotatable hash format. NEAR noted that its quantum-safe design philosophy was integrated into its architecture planning as early as 2018.
Ostium has released an update on the design of its Phase II Loss Compensation Plan for Liquidity Providers (OLP). Designed for users with losses exceeding 1,000 USDC who did not select the Convenience Allocation, the plan offers two compensation mechanisms: Default Option A (USDC Installment Repayment): Funding sources include funds already recovered and those to be recovered in the future (distributed proportionally after deducting the Phase I portion), specific revenue shares from the Ostium protocol and Gateway income (initially set at 50% of Ostium's opening position fees), and potential partner incentives or revenue sharing. 2. Optional Option B (Ostium Labs Equity Conversion): Eligible users complying with securities regulations may, in the next priced funding round, convert a portion of their outstanding losses into Ostium Labs equity based on that round's valuation. The share class will align with that of the team, and a fully diluted cap is established for the total ownership percentage of participating users.
Odaily News: U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chair Mike Selig stated that the CFTC's proposed crypto asset regulatory framework will establish a federal-level oversight system to protect exchange customers from fraud, market manipulation, and theft of customer funds, preventing a repeat of the FTX collapse. Mike Selig noted that the CFTC is working to introduce market-based regulatory mechanisms for crypto exchanges; he stated that critics who oppose these measures and support maintaining the status quo may objectively be benefiting fraudsters, manipulators, and those who misappropriate customer funds, and warned that the absence of such regulation could leave the door open for the next Sam Bankman-Fried figure.
According to CoinDesk, the privacy cryptocurrency Zcash (ZEC) development team plans to introduce a post-quantum signature opcode on the network in January to support hash-based signatures, thereby defending against potential quantum computing attacks. This proposal primarily targets the transparent (public) payment pool, where approximately 70% of ZEC is currently held. Although developers have set January as the target deadline, the specific timing for network activation has not yet been finalized.
The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has published a consultation paper seeking industry feedback on the legal, liquidity, and operational risks of tokenized collateral, in order to assess whether clearing institutions can obtain and liquidate such assets under market stress, and to determine whether new EU regulatory measures are needed.ESMA Chair Verena Ross stated that legal certainty, infrastructure interoperability, and appropriate regulation are needed to create the conditions for the safe cross-border operation and scaling of tokenized markets. Tokenized collateral is entering European clearing operations, enabling banks and investors to obtain securities more quickly to meet margin requirements.The assessment will also examine whether current EU rules can support clearing institutions in obtaining and liquidating tokenized collateral in the event of a member default. In July 2025, Eurex Clearing launched a collateral service based on distributed ledger technology, and JPMorgan completed its first real-time transaction for Dutch pension investor PGGM.ESMA will also assess tokenized forms of assets held by traditional financial infrastructure, assets natively issued on distributed ledgers, and their relationship with stablecoins, central bank money, and tokenized deposits. The European System of Central Banks launched Pontes in September 2025 to settle tokenized asset transactions in central bank money, and to connect blockchain infrastructure with existing settlement systems.
