On October 5, Michael S. Selig, Chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), announced that the CFTC has officially proposed its first set of regulations for the cryptocurrency market, aimed at fostering innovation and protecting investors. Previously, due to Congress not passing a bill that clearly defines the federal legal status of crypto assets, the CFTC and SEC turned to their existing statutory powers to lead the development of market structure rules; the new regulations mark a shift in U.S. federal cryptocurrency oversight from 'enforcement over legislation' to 'proactive rule-making'.

Putin States Negotiations with Ukraine Currently Impossible
On October 10, Russian presidential aide Ushakov provided details about the phone call between the leaders of Russia and the United States. Ushakov stated that during the call, Putin elaborated on the measures Russia has taken in response to the terrorist attacks carried out by the Ukrainian armed forces. Putin indicated that Ukraine is attempting to undermine the Russian State Duma elections and is attacking civilians, which has compromised the possibility of immediately resuming negotiations. He also noted that Ukraine's attempts to hinder the advance of Russian troops have no prospects for success, as the Russian military currently holds complete initiative on the battlefield and is continuing to advance. Putin emphasized that due to Ukraine's stance, particularly its efforts to disrupt the Russian Duma elections, it is currently impossible to resume negotiations with Ukraine. Trump has instructed that the message conveyed by Putin during the call be communicated to the Ukrainian delegation. Ushakov mentioned that there has been no specific discussion yet regarding a potential bilateral meeting between Putin and Trump. -

Zcash Development Team Plans to Introduce Quantum-Resistant Signatures in January
The development team of the privacy cryptocurrency Zcash (ZEC) plans to introduce post-quantum signature opcodes to the network in January next year, supporting hash-based signature technology to defend against potential quantum computing attacks. This solution primarily targets the transparent (public) payment pool, where approximately 70% of ZEC is currently stored. Although the developers have set January as the target deadline, the specific network activation time has not yet been finalized. This upgrade aims to prevent attackers from using existing public keys to reverse-engineer private keys and forge payment authorizations. Additionally, the Zcash node validator Zakura has launched a wallet tool based on Private Information Retrieval (PIR), allowing users to query balances across multiple addresses without revealing the correlation between those addresses to the server. Previously, Ethereum researcher Justin Drake warned that artificial intelligence could accelerate the cracking of traditional encryption algorithms and urged cryptocurrency holders to prepare for potential security threats. -
