According to ChainCatcher, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is retracting outdated and overly complex guidelines related to digital asset delivery. Acting Chair Caroline Pham announced that the agency will withdraw the 2020 guidance under the Dodd-Frank Act, a federal law enacted in 2010 to address the 2008 financial crisis. The guidance focused on the 'actual delivery' of digital assets.
Pham stated that this move is part of recommendations from the President's Working Group on Financial Markets report on digital assets. This summer, the White House released an extensive report on cryptocurrency, addressing issues such as illicit finance and taxation, and suggested granting the CFTC authority to regulate digital assets. 'Today's announcement demonstrates that decisive action can make tangible progress in facilitating Americans' access to safe U.S. markets, thereby protecting their interests,' Pham said on Thursday.#CFTC #digitalassets #cryptocurrency #DoddFrankAct #financialregulation #CarolinePham #PresidentWorkingGroup #illicitfinance #taxation #USmarkets #regulation

According to PANews, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has granted permission to the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) to host and recognize tokenized stocks and other real-world assets (RWA) on a blockchain. This approval allows DTCC to offer tokenization services on a pre-approved blockchain for a three-year period. SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce stated that although the project is still in its pilot phase and subject to various operational constraints, it represents a significant step towards market migration onto the blockchain.
Michael Winnike, DTCC's Global Head of Strategy and Market Solutions for Clearing and Securities Services, mentioned in an interview that following the approval, DTCC plans to extend its record-keeping operations to the blockchain.
DTCC plays a crucial role in the U.S. financial system as a central clearing and settlement hub for stocks and fixed income products. Many liquid assets in the U.S. market are stored in DTCC's custody division, the Depository Trust Co. The company anticipates launching its new tokenization services in the latter half of next year.#SEC #DTCC #Blockchain #Tokenization #TokenizedStocks #RealWorldAssets #FinancialSystem #BlockchainApproval #HesterPeirce #MarketMigration #ClearingServices #SecuritiesServices #RecordKeeping #PilotPhase

According to PANews, the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) has decided not to include cryptocurrencies in its annual list of risks to the U.S. financial system. This change reflects a broader shift in focus away from the vulnerabilities of the financial system. The 2025 FSOC report has entirely removed the term 'vulnerability,' which was previously common in such analyses. In the opening letter of the report, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent acknowledged that past analyses concentrated on identifying potential threats to the financial system.
The 2025 report does not offer recommendations regarding digital assets nor express explicit concerns about the industry. It details how U.S. financial regulators with authority over cryptocurrency have altered their previous policy positions. While the report generally praises the advantages of digital assets, it notes in the 'illegal finance' subsection that stablecoins could be misused to facilitate illicit financial transactions. However, it also predicts that the continued use of dollar-denominated stablecoins over the next decade is expected to further solidify the dollar's position in the international financial system.#FSOC #cryptocurrency #financialstability #digitalassets #stablecoins #USfinancialsystem #illegalfinance #ScottBessent #financialregulators #2025report

According to PANews, the U.S. Senate is approaching the final stages of confirming key appointments for the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), both of which are expected to play significant roles in regulating the U.S. cryptocurrency industry. The nominees, appointed by U.S. President Donald Trump, are undergoing the Senate confirmation process, which is nearing completion. However, the final vote may still take several days.
On Thursday, the Senate passed a resolution with a 52-47 vote, bringing Mike Selig closer to taking over the CFTC, while the decision on Travis Hill's potential appointment as FDIC chairman is also imminent. A spokesperson for Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso posted on the X platform, indicating that the final vote could occur "early next week."
Senate Republicans are considering an unusual approach by confirming dozens of Trump's nominees in a single session. Among the 97 confirmation items awaiting a vote, Selig and Hill are just two of the candidates.#USSenate #CFTC #FDIC #Cryptocurrency #Regulation #TrumpNominees #SenateVote #FinancialRegulation

🚀 Exploring Quantum-Resistant Solutions for Bitcoin Blockchain
#QuantumResistance #BitcoinBlockchain #PostQuantum #HashBasedSignatures #QuantumSecurity #Cryptanalysis #NIST #DigitalSignatures #QuantumComputing #BlockchainUpgrade #Cryptography #BitcoinDeveloper #BTC
According to PANews, Blockstream researchers Mikhail Kudinov and Jonas Nick have examined various methods to upgrade the Bitcoin blockchain for quantum resistance in a revised paper published on December 5. They propose hash-based signatures as an attractive post-quantum solution due to their security relying solely on hash function assumptions, similar to Bitcoin's foundational design. Kudinov shared his findings with the Bitcoin developer mailing list, noting that these schemes have undergone extensive cryptanalysis during the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) post-quantum standardization process, boosting confidence in their robustness.
Hash-based signatures depend on hash functions, which are considered quantum-resistant mathematical algorithms. Unlike Bitcoin's public key encryption, quantum algorithms struggle to break hash functions. By simply increasing the output size, hash functions can counteract brute-force searches by quantum computers, ensuring the security of applications like digital signatures. However, the implementation of hash-based signatures remains under discussion. Decisions are needed on issues such as maintaining low verification costs, standardizing various hash-based signature implementations, and whether the entire network's historical record is necessary for transaction verification.#QuantumResistance #BitcoinBlockchain #PostQuantum #HashBasedSignatures #QuantumSecurity #Cryptanalysis #NIST #DigitalSignatures #QuantumComputing #BlockchainUpgrade #Cryptography #BitcoinDeveloper #BTC

🚀 U.S. Senate Advances Major Cryptocurrency Legislation

According to BlockBeats, U.S. Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott announced significant progress in advancing a comprehensive cryptocurrency bill into law following a meeting with top banking CEOs. On Thursday, Scott met with Brian Moynihan of Bank of America, Jane Fraser of Citigroup, and Charlie Scharf of Wells Fargo to discuss this landmark legislation.
The proposed bill aims to establish regulatory guidelines for the digital asset industry and empower agencies like the SEC and CFTC. This week, the three banking CEOs are expected to meet with senators to further discuss the cryptocurrency legislative proposal. The meetings are reportedly held separately with Democrats and Republicans, both described as "cordial."
Insiders revealed that discussions covered topics such as yields, decentralized finance, and anti-money laundering measures. The banking association has identified gaps in the GENIUS Act, which became law this summer. They argue that the law inadequately restricts stablecoin issuers from paying interest to holders, potentially making these assets more attractive as value storage and credit mechanisms rather than just payment tools, thus creating "market-distorting incentives" for the banking sector.
Additionally, banking groups believe that the restrictions imposed by the GENIUS Act can be easily circumvented by exchanges, brokers, and other related parties.#USSENATE #CryptocurrencyLegislation #BankingCommittee #TimScott #DigitalAssets #SEC #CFTC #Stablecoin #GENIUSAct #DecentralizedFinance #AntiMoneyLaundering #BankingCEOs #WellsFargo #BankOfAmerica #Citigroup #RegulatoryGuidelines #LegislativeProgress

According to PANews, Stream Finance, an Ethereum-based yield protocol, reported a loss of $93 million in cryptocurrency due to an 'external fund manager' in early November, accounting for approximately 17% of the assets under management. On Monday, Stream's co-founder filed a lawsuit under the name Stream Trading Corp., accusing Georgia resident Ryan DeMattia of defaulting on a personal loan and misappropriating the funds to cover his personal losses. The lawsuit also accuses Florida resident Caleb McMeans of failing to fulfill the agreement signed in January when he took over the protocol and brand, requesting the court to enforce the agreement due to McMeans allegedly shirking responsibility.
The lawsuit outlines the brief and tumultuous history of the Stream protocol, which operated for only nine months before closing in November 2024 due to slowed growth and 'operational challenges.' McMeans proposed an acquisition, agreeing to take full control as per the agreement, with Stream serving as a service provider. McMeans was responsible for allocating fees, assuming liabilities, and disclosing fund flows. However, after several off-chain agreements, real-time access to Stream's trading strategy became increasingly difficult. In September, the co-founder demanded increased transparency, but McMeans delayed. He later admitted to allowing 'employee' DeMattia to invest over $90 million off-chain and assisting DeMattia in evading inquiries from the co-founder. McMeans eventually conceded, acknowledging no formal relationship with DeMattia and agreeing to retrieve the cryptocurrency entrusted to this 'employee.'#StreamFinance #LegalAction #MisappropriationOfFunds #Ethereum #YieldProtocol #CryptocurrencyLoss #PersonalLoan #RyanDeMattia #CalebMcMeans #OperationalChallenges #Transparency #Blockchain #CryptoLawsuit #OffChainInvestments #CryptocurrencySecurity
