Odaily Report: Bitget, in collaboration with Reality and Keyring, has published a research report exploring the synergies between tokenized stocks, perpetual contracts, and decentralized lending, while assessing the potential returns and risks of related strategies through simulated calculations. The report notes that the application of tokenized stocks is expanding from traditional stock trading to collateralized lending, asset management, and systematic investment strategies.The research is based on Reality's rToken, combined with stock perpetual contract hedging and onchain lending mechanisms, to explore stock basis yield strategies. Historical simulation data shows that from December 15, 2025, to October 19, 2026, the strategy index achieved annualized net returns of approximately 7% and 4% in-sample and out-of-sample, respectively, with a gross funding rate premium of approximately 11%–14%. The report also notes that financing costs, trade execution fees, market liquidity, and risk management are key factors affecting the strategy's actual returns.It is understood that Bitget and Keyring plan to jointly develop a stock basis index and build an onchain lending market based on Reality's rToken. Reality will provide exposure to tokenized stock assets, while Keyring will be responsible for developing the index methodology and building the related lending market. The index aims to capture funding rate and basis yield opportunities by combining rToken holdings with hedged positions in corresponding stock perpetual contracts, providing a new strategic pathway for the application of tokenized stocks in onchain financial scenarios.
Odaily reports: Bonk Guy posted stating that the view that onchain trading and the Meme coin market have fallen into the worst period in history reflects a misperception within the crypto community (CT) regarding the current state of the market. Over the past 4 months, about 6 new tokens reached market caps of $100 million to $300 million or more, among which PONS started from zero and its fully diluted valuation (FDV) once reached $960 million, while the FDVs of tokens such as ANSEM, CASHCAT, AI, and STONK also all broke through $300 million at one point. In addition, dozens of new tokens surpassed $10 million in market cap, and despite the deterioration in market structure, tokens with sharp gains still occasionally emerge onchain.Bonk Guy compared the current market with previous downturn periods, noting that before the emergence of Robinhood Chain, the market went through a long stretch with almost no notable rallies; and after the launch of the TRUMP token last year and before the initial rise of BonkFun, there was also a period of about half a year during which almost no token could break through a market cap of $2 million to $5 million.He believes that although the current market is no longer in the broad rally phase seen a few months ago, this does not mean trading opportunities have disappeared. He expects the market may recover soon, even faster than most people anticipate, and suggests paying attention to tokens that have already demonstrated the ability to deliver outsized performance in the previous cycle, seeking opportunities during market pullbacks. The market is currently filled with pessimism and negative narratives, and investors should not be swayed by the noise. Historical experience shows that some previously strong tokens may not only return to their prior highs but even break through further once the next market cycle begins. The biggest opportunities often appear before market sentiment reverses and while mainstream investors have yet to change their views.
Odaily reports: U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Paul Atkins stated that although the CLARITY Act was not passed by Congress, the SEC will still clarify onchain fundraising rules within its statutory authority.The U.S. Senate failed to advance the CLARITY Act on September 15 with a 49-50 vote, falling short of the required 60-vote threshold. Atkins has not yet disclosed what form the relevant guidance will take—whether exemptions, a registration pathway, or staff guidance.The SEC previously paved the way for tokenized stocks on September 17, and on September 25 published nine FAQs explaining the impact of token issuers' commitments on securities determinations. Commissioner Hester Peirce will depart on October 2, leaving the SEC with only two sitting commissioners, Atkins and Mark Uyeda. (Bitcoin.com News)
Dragonfly managing partner Haseeb Qureshi stated that price movements in onchain Pre-IPO derivatives reflect interesting market expectations for AI lab valuations. He noted that Jacob Coxon's earlier pessimistic remarks about AI risk actually pushed related lab valuations higher, arguing that "scaring everyone seems to be good for business."Haseeb said that after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei proposed "slowing the frontier race," related valuations were not significantly affected, which is not surprising, since reducing the model race means training spending declines, thereby lowering major capital expenditures. However, after David Sacks publicly criticized Dario, Anthropic's valuation was largely unaffected, while OpenAI's valuation declined, and he raised questions about the reason for this.
