Treasury Wanted a Token Swap or a Fresh Wallet Address Counted as 'Mixing.' It Just Dropped the Rule
FinCEN withdrew two crypto surveillance proposals on October 5: the 2023 mixer rule, whose definition of 'CVC mixing' covered swapping between tokens and using single-use addresses, and the 2020 unhosted wallet rule that would have made banks and MSBs collect ID on self-custody transfers over $3,000. Both formally die when the notices publish in the Federal Register on October 6.

Someone Just Drained $6 Million From a Vault on Base. Nobody Will Say Whose Vault It Was
An attacker pulled about 1,783 wstETH, worth over $6 million, out of a vault on Base on October 4. The vault was controlled by a 3-of-7 Safe multisig with seven unidentified signers. No protocol has claimed it, the root cause is unconfirmed, and around $31.7 million was reportedly still at risk when the incident was disclosed.

Two Weeks After Its Engineers Were Charged Over HYPE Perps, Robinhood Says It Will Sell HYPE Perps to Every American
At its HOOD Summit, Robinhood said US users will get perpetual futures on BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, ADA, LINK and HYPE within months: 10x leverage on BTC and ETH, 3x on the rest, 0.01% per trade through year-end, run through Bitstamp. It also announced 24/7 stock trading via Bruce Markets and AI agents that trade for you. On the same day, House Oversight sent Hyperliquid a letter about insider trading.

Senate Investigators Checked 846 Sanctioned Iran Wallets. 84% of Them Ran on Tether
A 28-page report from Senate Democrats led by Richard Blumenthal says USDT has become Iran's primary crypto payment rail, used by 84% of 846 sanctioned Iran-linked wallets and 87% of 757 wallets tied to terror financing. It says Tether took nine months to freeze 34 wallets Israel had designated, and wants Treasury and the DOJ to investigate. Tether says it froze about $550 million in Iran-linked USDT this year alone.

The SEC Is About to Be Two People. 'Crypto Mom' Hester Peirce Just Quit, and Nobody Has Been Nominated to Replace Her
Hester Peirce posted her resignation letter on X with the caption 'T minus 7.' Her last day is October 2. After that the five-seat SEC will have two commissioners, Paul Atkins and Mark Uyeda, and under the agency's own quorum rule two votes are enough to pass anything. The commissioner who ran the Crypto Task Force is leaving to teach law, the CLARITY Act is dead, and the SEC is now the main place US crypto rules get made. Here's what that means for the industry and the people who work in it.

BitMEX Invented the 100x Perpetual Swap, Beat a Criminal Case With a Presidential Pardon, Then Lost to the Product It Created. Leave Money There Now and It Costs You $50 a Month
BitMEX stopped trading on September 23 at 04:00 UTC, 11 years after launch. It invented the perpetual swap in 2016 and once handled about 57% of all crypto derivatives trading. Perps did $61.7 trillion in volume in 2025, and almost none of it went through BitMEX. The company says it never lost user funds to a hack, but it still owes something: the Celsius estate filed a $490 million lawsuit over 2020 liquidations eleven days before the shutdown. Here's what happened, what users need to do before the fees start, and what it means if you work in derivatives.

Last Week Manhattan Prosecutors Moved to Seize $61M of Iranian Oil Money That Ran Through Binance. This Week They're Investigating Binance
Bloomberg reports the Manhattan US Attorney's office, with DOJ's Criminal Division, is investigating whether Binance knowingly let trading that violated Iran sanctions continue on its platform. It lands seven days after the same office filed to forfeit $61 million in Iranian oil proceeds laundered through Binance accounts, and seven months after the Wall Street Journal reported Binance's own compliance team flagged $1.7 billion flowing from Chinese clients to Iran-linked wallets. Binance already pleaded guilty and paid $4.3 billion for this exact category of failure in 2023. Its founder was pardoned in October. Here is what a second case would mean.

The Senate Needed 60 Votes to Give Crypto a Rulebook and Got 49. The CFTC Needed Zero, and Just Filed One With the White House.
Two days after CLARITY died 49-50, the CFTC quietly submitted 'Regulation of Crypto Asset Transactions and Crypto Asset Markets' to the White House regulatory office. The text is secret, but Chair Mike Selig already told us the plan: let unregistered crypto exchanges become CFTC-designated markets and offer leveraged spot trading to US retail under 'purpose-fit rules.' Selig on X: 'The CFTC is locked in and ready to ship.' The catch: a final rule may not land until late 2027, and the next commission can undo it.

The SEC Just Legalized Trading Apple Stock on Uniswap. The $3 Billion of Tokenized Stocks That Already Exist Don't Qualify.
Two days after the Senate killed the CLARITY Act, the SEC dropped a five-year 'innovation exemption' letting permissioned AMM pools trade real US stocks onchain with no exchange registration. The catch: tokens have to carry actual shareholder rights. Ondo, xStocks and Robinhood's stock tokens don't. An SEC spokesperson's verdict on the synthetics: 'They can remain out in the wilds.'

Two Robinhood Engineers Front-Ran Their Own Company's Token Listings on Hyperliquid. They Made $50K Each. They're Facing 30 Years.
Hefu Chai and Jerry Xiang were 'Coin Aware Individuals' with access to Robinhood's private listings Slack channel. Prosecutors say they bought Hyperliquid perps on POPCAT, HYPE and RENDER minutes before the announcements went out, across at least 21 listings. An anon on X flagged the exact pattern a year ago. Now SDNY is bringing what looks like the first Commodity Exchange Act case over trades on a DEX.

The Democrats Who Helped Write the CLARITY Act Just Voted to Kill It. 49-50. Crypto's Senate Bill Is Dead for 2026.
Seven Democrats spent a year negotiating the crypto market-structure bill. On Tuesday every one of them voted no, three Republicans joined them, and the cloture motion didn't even get a simple majority. Lummis: 'It's over.' Coinbase fell 8.65%, Polymarket odds of passage hit 7%, and the industry's hundreds of millions in lobbying bought a bill that never reached the floor.

Balancer's CEO Just Asked Token Holders to Vote the Protocol Dead. Its $9M Treasury Is Worth More Than Its Own Token.
One of the original DeFi AMMs is proposing to pause every pool, fire itself, and hand the treasury to anyone willing to burn their BAL. Revenue is $30K a month against $150K in costs, ten months after a rounding error drained $128 million. The vote runs September 25 to 29.

Trump Made $1.4 Billion on Crypto Last Year. Republicans Just Sent Democrats a 'Final Offer' That Makes Him Give Up Control of It.
Sunday night, 635 pages, and a GOP aide calling it 'a final offer on the bill.' The new CLARITY Act text says federal officials, judges and their spouses must divest crypto or park it in a blind trust, and lets state attorneys general enforce it. Democrats have until 2:15 p.m. Tuesday to say whether that's enough. Nine of them need to say yes.

FTX Creditors Got Up to 120% of Their Money Back. SBF Just Told the Supreme Court That's Why He's Innocent.
Sam Bankman-Fried's cert petition argues FTX was 'temporarily illiquid,' not fraudulent — and that the jury never got to hear customers would be made whole. He's also calling the $11 billion forfeiture an unconstitutional excessive fine. The Court grants about 1% of petitions.
