On September 22, following a remarkable rebound in Bitcoin, the market value of digital assets returned to over $3 trillion for the first time since January. However, traders have flocked to leverage trading in perpetual futures, increasing the risk of rapid price fluctuations. According to CoinGecko data, the cryptocurrency market value has increased by over $740 billion since the U.S. Treasury announced last month that it would increase the repurchase of long-term bonds. Leverage bets have also surged. Coinglass data shows that the open interest in various token perpetual futures has risen to nearly $160 billion, the highest level since late October of last year.

First Tokenized Stock Trading Venues May Emerge Next Quarter
On September 22, Taylor Lindman, Chief Legal Counsel of the SEC's Crypto Special Working Group, stated in an interview that under the SEC's five-year "Innovation Exemption" framework, the first compliant tokenized stock trading venues could gradually take shape as early as next quarter. This exemption has officially come into effect, allowing qualified platforms to conduct tokenized trading of U.S. stocks on public blockchains through licensed automated market makers (AMMs) and liquidity pools. Institutions planning to enter this space are required to issue operational notices and report to the SEC within one business day after publication. These public notices will also serve as important signals for the market to assess which companies are entering this sector. Lindman anticipates that there will be some delay in companies submitting relevant notices, likely falling within the next quarter. SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce and Lindman both emphasized that this model "leans more towards on-chain finance rather than true DeFi," as each trading platform has a clear operating entity responsible for compliance, rather than being completely decentralized peer-to-peer finance. -

Fed's Musalem: Further Rate Hikes May Be Needed to Curb Inflation
On September 22, Fed's Musalem stated on Monday that due to strong demand and commodity price shocks extending beyond the oil sector, the Federal Reserve may need to further raise interest rates to reduce inflation. He emphasized that the Fed should act sooner rather than wait. Musalem remarked, "Persistent demand and recurring supply pressures are still exacerbating inflation risks. I believe that without further policy measures to curb inflation, in 18 months, inflation is likely to be significantly above our 2% target rather than reaching it. I think policies must impose meaningful constraints on inflation so that the Fed can achieve its inflation target in about a year and a half, allowing time for the tightening policies to impact the economy." He also stated, "Compared to later, larger, and potentially more abrupt policy measures, earlier and gradual policy tightening is more appropriate and causes less shock to the economy." Musalem pointed out that inflation "is not a risk; it already exists," and even excluding the effects of oil and other supply-related factors, the underlying inflation rate could still be several percentage points above the Fed's target and is "heading in the wrong direction." -
