1. U.S. Democrats Warn Government Shutdown Could Intensify Crypto Market Risks, Call for Thorough Investigation of Insider Trading

Maxine Waters, the leader of the U.S. House Financial Services Committee, warned on the 21st day of the government shutdown that President Trump and Congressional Republicans have failed to establish an appropriate regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies, which will exacerbate market risks. She pointed out that the crypto market crash on October 10 resulted in billions of dollars in losses for investors and sparked calls for an investigation into insider trading. An analyst discovered that a certain wallet deposited millions of dollars into the Hyperliquid decentralized exchange before the crash and profited approximately $150 million through leveraged short positions. Waters urged the SEC and CFTC to thoroughly investigate the related activities, but due to the government shutdown, regulatory agencies are paralyzed, leaving investors at higher risk, and similar crash events may spread more quickly to traditional financial sectors in the future. -Original

The White House has suggested that the SEC consider a crypto safe harbor and exemptions for securities issuance registration, while the CFTC has been authorized to regulate the spot market for non-security digital assets. Congress is pushing for legislation, and the SEC hopes that the relevant bills can take effect by the end of the year to clarify market rules and coordinate regulatory actions. -Original
