Odaily News: The Cardano Foundation has introduced the CIP-0113 token standard, allowing issuers of regulated assets to restrict recipients based on predefined rules and to freeze, seize, or transfer token holdings. The standard enables issuers to implement such controls without requiring a hard fork of the Cardano network.CIP-0113 requires compliance checks to be executed on every transfer, including identity verification and sanctions list screening. Issuers can choose or customize rules and update them as regulatory requirements change; under the authorization mechanism, relevant parties can transfer tokens without the holder's consent.

former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti pointed out that the SEC's crypto asset FAQ, published on September 25 and updated on September 28, is merely non-binding staff guidance that can serve as a reference but is not a "protective charm." The FAQ, issued by the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance, addresses topics including staking receipt tokens, decentralized network buyback programs, and how marketing communications fit into the Howey test, but it does not name any specific assets or protocols and only provides principle-based statements. Mariotti stated that the FAQ only reflects the views of SEC staff, has not been formally approved by the Commission, and carries no legal force; since the rule proposed on August 18 has not yet been finalized and the Clarity Act is stalled in Congress, industry participants still need to rely on staff commentary to make their own judgments regarding disclosure and token design.

Odaily reports: Stablecoin payment infrastructure provider Rain has submitted an application to the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to establish Rain National Trust Bank in New York. Once approved, the bank will be able to provide institutional clients with digital asset and USD fiduciary custody, as well as stablecoin reserve management services.Rain stated that Rain National Trust Bank may also issue and redeem USD-backed stablecoins in accordance with the GENIUS Act. Former Square Financial Services Chief Financial Officer Brandon Soto will serve as President and CEO of the proposed bank, subject to OCC review.The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) sued the OCC on Friday, alleging that it allowed non-depository trust banks to conduct a wide range of non-fiduciary activities, exceeding its regulatory authority. The ICBA is asking the court to overturn the OCC's chartering rule introduced in March 2026 and Interpretive Letter 1176 from 2021, and to block the approval of more licenses based on those documents.The Crypto Council for Innovation said the lawsuit is intended to restrict innovation. The ICBA complaint states that the OCC has approved or conditionally approved at least 21 trust banks, of which at least 13 are cryptocurrency companies. (Cointelegraph)

Odaily News: On October 1, the Ethereum Foundation and Open Anonymity Project launched zkAPI on the Ethereum mainnet. The system allows users to pre-deposit ETH, USDC, and other balances, separating billing identity from requests when paying for AI and other usage-based services.After depositing funds, users can authorize payments via zero-knowledge proofs and one-time API keys. Once the server verifies the payment proof, it generates a short-term key with a preset spending cap. AI service providers can receive prompts but will not learn the corresponding payment identity.zkAPI does not hide prompt content, and AI service providers can still read prompts and responses; stable IP addresses, timing patterns, and repetitive behavior may also link user identities. The project's code repository labels zkAPI as an experimental project. (Bitcoin.com News)
Odaily reports: Greenfield Capital, an early investor in Safe, has published an open letter stating that it has filed a regulatory complaint with the Swiss Federal Foundation Supervisory Authority (ESA) regarding the Safe Ecosystem Foundation. Greenfield Capital stated that it has never sold any SAFE tokens since investing in Safe in 2022, but the total assets held in Safe accounts have declined from approximately $6.6 billion at the beginning of 2024 to about $3 billion. Over the same period, total DeFi TVL grew by roughly 40% and stablecoin supply increased by 135%, while stablecoins within Safe grew by only 11%. The firm believes that Safe's share of the self-custody market is declining.Greenfield Capital stated that about a year ago, it was unable to form a reliable judgment based solely on information provided by the Safe team, so it conducted an independent review together with former employees, major users, ecosystem developers, and other investors, and concluded that the issues identified all ultimately related to governance. The firm had previously requested refreshing the foundation's board of directors with experienced and independent members, restructuring management and bringing in operators with experience scaling infrastructure businesses, and having the board lead a review of strategy, product, organizational structure, and tokenomics while setting quantifiable key performance indicators. Greenfield Capital said that since late 2025, it has made these requests to the foundation both directly and through legal counsel, but the foundation only established a strategy committee without decision-making authority and appointed people from existing circles to fill board vacancies, which ultimately led to the filing of the regulatory complaint with ESA. The firm emphasized that this action is not a lawsuit against individuals and that it does not intend to take over Safe; its concerns are limited solely to foundation governance and board composition. It remains positive about the work of the Safe Labs operating team and will continue to cooperate as an ecosystem participant and Safenet validator.

PPP prediction market tool monitoring shows that in the Polymarket "GPT Astra 6.1+ release date" prediction market, the probability that GPT Astra 6.1+ will be released before October 31 has risen to 46%, up 21% in 24 hours.According to the resolution rules, if OpenAI makes available to the public a GPT model with a version number of 6.1 or higher and with "Astra" included in its name or model identifier before the specified date, the corresponding market will resolve to "Yes." The model must actually be made available for public use; closed beta testing or placeholder names appearing only on the official website will not count, and resolution will primarily be based on official information from OpenAI.Join the PPP signal push community to stay one step ahead and seize the initiative.

Odaily News: When a token project fails to deliver tokens as agreed, investors need to review the signed agreements, attachments, amendments, and cover letters to confirm the legal entity bearing the obligation, the number of tokens or calculation method, delivery trigger events, vesting arrangements, and transfer restrictions.The projected launch date published by the project does not equate to a binding delivery deadline. When tokens have already been distributed to other participants, it is necessary to assess whether the delivery obligation has been triggered based on the agreement's definition of the token generation event, whether the investor has completed the prerequisites, and the project team's actual conduct.When a project requests an extension of the lock-up period, a reduction in allocation, a token swap, or a change in the responsible entity, investors should verify whether the contract authorization and amendment documents contain waiver of rights clauses. Investors may retain payment records, transaction hashes, wallet addresses, communication records, and project announcements, and review the notification, remediation, negotiation, arbitration, or litigation procedures.

According to research, Goldman Sachs' September 28, 2026 research report indicates that Goldman Sachs hosted an investor meeting with Palantir CFO Dave Glazer, maintaining a Neutral rating with a 12-month price target of $204, reflecting 7.6% upside. Approximately 97% of clients utilize AIP Evolve, with contracts typically spanning around three years, and clients often expand engagements roughly 18 months post-deployment. One major potential competitor withdrew from direct competition after evaluating this growth strategy. Goldman Sachs believes that Palantir's frontline deployment engineer (FDE) moat offers greater stickiness than standard FDE deployment. Competitive pressure mainly stems from internal enterprise IT, while model vendors and data platforms provide complementary positioning. The three vertical focus areas are: Financial Services, which will add a former AIG CEO; Semiconductors, partnering with NVIDIA; and Next-Gen Cloud, collaborating with Nebius. The $204 price target is based on a 60x multiple applied to free cash flow estimates for Q5 through Q8.
