‍CFTC Pushes to Greenlight Leveraged Spot Crypto Trading in US The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is actively working towards authorizing leveraged spot crypto trading in the United States. CFTC acting chair Caroline Pham confirmed ongoing discussions with regulated American crypto exchanges, aiming for a potential launch as early as next month. This initiative follows an earlier CFTC effort in August to enable trading of "spot crypto asset contracts" on registered exchanges. Key to the Commodity Exchange Act, leveraged retail commodity transactions fall under CFTC jurisdiction. Leveraged crypto spot positions would be permissible only if their duration is strictly limited to 28 days or less. Despite the recent US government shutdown, regulatory progress in crypto continues, indicating a sustained commitment to establishing a clear framework for digital assets.
‍MEXC Introduces Limit Convert for Enhanced Crypto Swaps MEXC has launched its new Limit Convert feature, enabling users to execute cryptocurrency conversions at pre-defined prices. This innovation provides enhanced price control and capital efficiency by automating swaps only when optimal market conditions are met. The feature allows traders to set target prices, ensuring conversions occur at desired rates, thereby improving strategic portfolio management and reducing the need for constant market monitoring. MEXC continues its user-centric approach with this development, serving over 40 million users globally.
‍Crypto Market Experiences $1.17 Billion Outflow, Altcoins Defy Trend Digital asset investment products saw net outflows totaling approximately $1.17 billion last week, primarily affecting Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). Bitcoin products experienced $932 million in outflows, while Ethereum saw $438 million exit. The United States was the main driver of these outflows. In contrast, altcoins demonstrated significant strength. Solana (SOL) attracted $118 million in inflows, marking its ninth consecutive week of positive capital, with cumulative inflows reaching $2.1 billion. Hedera (HBAR) also saw substantial inflows of $26.8 million. This divergence suggests a potential shift in investor focus towards specific altcoin projects with strong fundamentals and ecosystems, despite broader market caution.
‍Ethereum Whales Signal Institutional Re-entry as Bullish Prospects Emerge Recent analysis from CryptoQuant indicates a potential resurgence of institutional investors in the Ethereum (ETH) market. A notable surge in whale activity, marked by significantly larger average transaction sizes, has been observed following a price dip to approximately $3200. This pattern historically signals local market bottoms and early accumulation phases by large players. Analyst ShayanMarkets highlighted that this increased whale activity suggests strategic accumulation by major market participants during lower price points. If the critical $3000-$3400 support range holds, Ethereum may enter a consolidation phase, potentially preceding a bullish run with a projected target of $4500-$4800.
