Odaily reports: Bitcoin News posted on X platform that Australia's Westpac Bank will impose a monthly cap of AUD 10,000 on customer payments to cryptocurrency exchanges starting December 1. Once the limit is reached, Westpac may decline payments it identifies as being made to crypto exchanges; the cap applies in aggregate across all Westpac accounts through online banking, the Westpac app, and credit and debit card payments, with no exemptions or higher limits. Westpac does not support customers making payments to crypto exchanges at branches, and transfers from exchanges into Westpac accounts are unaffected.Westpac said the move is aimed at combating scams, citing data from Australia's National Anti-Scam Centre that 46% of reported scam losses last year involved cryptocurrency. Customers purchasing more than AUD 10,000 of Bitcoin per month will need to fund the excess through other banks.
Odaily reports: Ondo has announced that 15 tokenized stocks and ETFs are now live on Robinhood Chain, with 11 of them open for trading in StablePair liquidity pools on Uniswap v4. The pools allow traders to swap directly between Ondo Stocks and Robinhood Stock Tokens that track the same underlying assets, while liquidity providers can earn fees by providing liquidity.Ondo stated that its tokenized stocks support round-the-clock minting and redemption, providing traders with an additional source of liquidity, exit channels, and arbitrage opportunities during periods when Robinhood Stock Tokens suspend minting and redemption on weekends, helping to narrow the price deviation between on-chain prices and the underlying asset prices. The 15 assets launched this time also include 4 assets that do not yet have corresponding Robinhood Stock Tokens, such as Robinhood (HOODon), iShares China Large-Cap ETF (FXIon), BitMine (BMNRon), and the United States Copper Index Fund (CPERon).Ondo Stocks can be bridged between Robinhood Chain and BNB Chain or Ethereum via Ondo Bridge, and can be minted and redeemed on the latter two.

ARK Invest has released an update to its open-source Tesla valuation model, projecting that Tesla will be worth approximately $4,400 per share by 2031. A Monte Carlo simulation based on 32 independent variables shows a bear case of around $3,300 per share and a bull case of around $5,000 per share, corresponding to annualized share price gains of 53% and 66%, respectively, with the base case implying an annualized return of approximately 62%.Under the base case, ARK Invest expects Tesla's total revenue to reach approximately $1.45 trillion by 2031, with EBITDA of about $902 billion and a market capitalization of approximately $17.5 trillion.To support the development of its AI and robotics businesses, the model also assumes that Tesla's cumulative AI infrastructure spending will increase from approximately $7 billion at the end of 2025 to approximately $225 billion by the end of 2031. Robotaxi is expected to become Tesla's primary source of value, contributing approximately 80% of enterprise value by 2031. The humanoid robot Optimus will also become an important growth engine, with Tesla's cumulative external sales of Optimus robots reaching approximately 1 million units by 2031, and revenue from robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) and related businesses amounting to approximately $212 billion.However, ARK Invest cautions that these valuations depend on multiple assumptions, including the pace of autonomous driving commercialization, the maturity of robotics technology, profit margins, and capital efficiency. Actual results may differ significantly from these projections. The model is for reference only and does not constitute investment advice.

According to CryptoSlate, on September 18, the Central Bank of Russia released a draft proposing a 1% capital limit on banks' crypto asset exposures and introducing two regulatory ratios: N31 (applicable to standalone banks) and N32 (applicable to consolidated banking groups). The draft stipulates that direct positions, derivatives, loans, bonds, repurchase agreements, and other instruments linked to crypto prices are included in the calculation. Bank proprietary positions and customer custodial positions where the bank bears payment liabilities are subject to a 1,250% risk weighting, whereas customer custodial positions without such liabilities are subject to a 50% risk weighting and excluded from the 1% limit calculation. The rule is scheduled for official publication in the fourth quarter of 2026, will be enforced 10 days after it takes effect, and banks are required to start reporting relevant data in January 2027.

Odaily News: Crypto trader Bonk Guy posted on X platform responding to recent controversy surrounding his purchase of EMBER and explaining his position-building logic. Bonk Guy stated that he first noticed the project when EMBER's market cap was around $3 million but did not buy in. After observing for a day, he revisited his research due to the platform's rapid data growth and bought in from around a $7 million market cap all the way up to a $20 million market cap.Bonk Guy said that EMBER is a major Launchpad built on Meteora, supporting SOL, USDC, and over 150 tokenized stocks as pairing assets for token issuance. It utilizes Meteora Dynamic Bonding Curve technology and offers features such as token fee distribution, Daily Jackpots, and DAO governance.According to his disclosure, Ember has recorded approximately $51.7 million in trading volume, $561,000 in fees, and has cumulatively issued 2,041 tokens within 3 days of launch, with over 41,800 unique holder addresses and 149,000 Solana transactions. BonkGuy compared his Ember purchase to his previous PONS trade, noting that he first saw PONS when its market cap was below $1 million, similarly ignored it for a full day, and then started buying at around a $4 million market cap. Rather than whether a trending token has already emerged, what matters more is observing the real usage data underlying the Launchpad.Additionally, Bonk Guy stated that both Robinhood Chain and BNB Chain have multiple successful Launchpads, while Solana's Meme trading ecosystem has been developing for a longer time, so there is no reason to believe that Solana can ultimately only accommodate one successful Launchpad. He also stated that his trades are not based on market consensus. Some of his most successful trades in the past often came from discovering opportunities before the market formed a consensus; by the time everyone agrees, the asymmetric upside potential has usually already been significantly reduced.Regarding the recent controversy, Bonk Guy said that the claim of "EMBER having over 50% Bubblemaps address clusters" has been clarified by Bubblemaps; his earlier statement that Ember was "launched by Meteora" was also inaccurate—a more precise description is that Ember is built on Meteora-related infrastructure and has now been listed on Meteora's ecosystem page. Bonk Guy emphasized that he has no relationship with the Ember team, and EMBER is a personal trade for him.

Odaily News: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has proposed rules related to crypto assets, aiming to establish a clear framework for eligible investment contracts and provide a targeted securities offering regime for token issuances, enabling related entities to raise funds while retaining investor protection measures. The proposed rules would allow crypto companies to issue up to $5 million in tokens over four years, or up to $75 million in tokens within 12 months, and provide a safe harbor to prevent cryptocurrencies from being deemed "investment contracts." Issuers would be required to disclose financial statements and provide ongoing reporting. The SEC did not include the previously anticipated "innovation exemption" for crypto stocks. The proposal comes just days after the U.S. Senate failed to advance the Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act; the public will have 60 days to submit comments after the proposal is published in the Federal Register. SEC Chair Paul Atkins stated that congressional legislation remains essential for establishing rules that can be applied over the long term, and the SEC will continue to support Congress in advancing the CLARITY Act to President Trump. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) plans to discuss cryptocurrency, AI, and prediction market regulation on Thursday. (Cointelegraph)
