According to @EleanorTerrett, the U.S. government shutdown is limiting SEC operations and delaying routine approvals and filings, effectively putting crypto ETF approvals on hold, source: @EleanorTerrett. For traders, this means SEC-driven decision timelines and new ETF product launches are delayed until operations normalize, so calendars tied to SEC dockets and statutory decision dates may need adjustment, source: @EleanorTerrett. She also reports that @rstormsf has moved to dismiss his conviction, highlighted among this week’s top developments in her report, source: @EleanorTerrett.

According to @MilkRoadDaily, the Solana staking ETF SSK launched in July with $72M in assets under management and now holds $349M, a roughly 5x increase in under three months (source: @MilkRoadDaily). According to @MilkRoadDaily, the SEC has not yet ruled on nine Solana spot ETF applications (source: @MilkRoadDaily). Based on these figures reported by @MilkRoadDaily, traders can benchmark current SOL exposure demand via SSK’s AUM trajectory ahead of any SEC decisions (source: @MilkRoadDaily).

According to @KobeissiLetter, the SEC is reportedly moving toward allowing stocks to trade on-chain via tokens listed on crypto exchanges, with examples including tokenized shares of Tesla and Nvidia (source: The Kobeissi Letter, Sep 30, 2025). The post does not cite an SEC rule filing, proposal, or public statement, so traders should treat this as unconfirmed and wait for an official SEC release or Federal Register notice before repositioning (source: The Kobeissi Letter; no referenced SEC filing). If later confirmed, the move would follow established precedents like the SEC’s approval of BSTX to record end‑of‑day trade data on a blockchain and institutional tokenization efforts such as BlackRock’s BUIDL on Ethereum, developments that have validated certain on-chain securities models (source: SEC Release No. 34-94062, Jan 28, 2022; BlackRock press release, Mar 2024).

According to the source, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) have pledged closer cooperation and harmonization on crypto and broader market oversight, signaling tighter alignment on supervision and enforcement that traders should track for headline risk and compliance changes (source: the source). According to SEC and CFTC cooperation frameworks, the agencies already maintain information-sharing and coordinated oversight under formal memoranda and joint workstreams, and expanded harmonization would streamline treatment of digital asset spot and derivatives markets, affecting exchange compliance, token classification, and market structure timelines (source: SEC.gov; CFTC.gov). According to prior CFTC congressional testimony and SEC public statements, the CFTC oversees crypto derivatives while the SEC asserts jurisdiction over many token offerings deemed securities, so interagency alignment can materially influence listings, leverage, and liquidity across U.S.-exposed crypto venues (source: CFTC.gov testimony; SEC.gov public statements).

According to the source, a public social media post dated Sep 30, 2025 claims the SEC Crypto Task Force met with NYSE and Intercontinental Exchange to discuss crypto regulation covering crypto derivatives and tokenized equities trading, source: public social media post dated Sep 30, 2025. The post provides no accompanying SEC, NYSE, or ICE announcements or filings, so this remains unverified until confirmed by official communications, source: absence of cited primary documents in the post itself.

According to @MilkRoadDaily, the U.S. SEC has reached out to more than 200 digital asset trading platforms with insider trading concerns, signaling heightened regulatory scrutiny for the sector (source: @MilkRoadDaily, X post dated Sep 28, 2025).

According to @AggrNews, the Wall Street Journal reported that the SEC and FINRA have contacted crypto treasury companies regarding potential information leaks and unusual trading activity before official announcements in the crypto market.

According to the source, the shared post links to a piece on a novel structure combining crypto treasuries and ETFs before the SEC but provides no issuer name, filing number, ticker, or product terms, so no tradeable catalyst can be verified from the post alone, source: X post dated Sep 24, 2025. U.S. exchange-listed crypto ETFs require both a 19b-4 rule change approval and S-1 effectiveness before launch, so traders should confirm any new product by checking the SEC’s EDGAR database for actual 19b-4 and S-1 filings mentioning crypto treasuries or digital assets, source: U.S. SEC. As reference points, spot Bitcoin ETFs began trading in the U.S. after SEC approvals in January 2024 and spot Ether ETFs launched in July 2024, illustrating the required two-step process and timelines, source: U.S. SEC.

According to the source, the U.S. and U.K. are forming a Transatlantic Taskforce for Markets of the Future to coordinate crypto regulation and ease restrictions on cross-border investments, indicating a policy push toward regulatory alignment that matters for market access and compliance costs (source: user-provided report). This move aligns with the Financial Stability Board’s 2023 high-level recommendations urging globally consistent crypto-asset regulation to reduce fragmentation and regulatory arbitrage, a key factor for trading venues and institutional flows (source: Financial Stability Board, High-level recommendations for the regulation, supervision and oversight of crypto-asset activities and markets, July 2023). In the U.S., regulatory clarity has coincided with material capital inflows, exemplified by multi-billion-dollar net inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs following the SEC’s January 10, 2024 approvals, underscoring how policy decisions can shift BTC market liquidity (source: U.S. SEC approval orders for spot Bitcoin ETFs, Jan 2024; issuer flow disclosures from iShares IBIT and Fidelity FBTC, Q1 2024). Near term, traders should monitor official communiqués and timelines from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, SEC, U.K. HM Treasury, and FCA, as implementation details can determine venue access, custody standards, and cross-border marketing rules that affect BTC and ETH liquidity and volatility (source: U.S. Treasury and HM Treasury crypto policy consultations 2023-2024; FCA policy statements on crypto promotions and stablecoins 2023-2024).

According to @rovercrc, SEC Chair Paul Atkins said the SEC will support on-chain capital raising without excessive legal barriers and will open the door for super-app trading platform innovation (source: @rovercrc). The post includes no accompanying SEC press release, rule filing, or speech transcript, so the statement is unverified for trading decisions until an official notice appears on sec.gov (source: @rovercrc; source: U.S. SEC). Under current U.S. securities law, on-chain issuance and app-based trading of securities fall under broker-dealer registration, custody, and Regulation ATS requirements, meaning any such initiative would operate through compliant intermediaries rather than outside the regime (source: U.S. SEC; source: FINRA).
