Headlines
Caroline D. Pham, acting chair of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), announced the launch of a digital asset collateral pilot program, allowing digital assets such as BTC, ETH, and USDC to be used as compliant margin in the U.S. regulated derivatives market. The CFTC also released regulatory guidelines regarding tokenized collateral and repealed old regulations that became ineffective due to the introduction of the GENIUS Act.
The CFTC stated that this initiative is an important milestone in promoting the application of tokenized assets in regulated markets, providing a clear regulatory framework for the futures and swaps markets, including: the scope of tokenized assets, legal enforceability, custody and segregation requirements, valuation and risk management, operational risks, etc. In the initial three months, the acceptable digital asset collateral for FCMs (Futures Commission Merchants) is limited to BTC, ETH, and USDC, and they must report their positions to the CFTC weekly on a segregated account basis.
At the same time, the CFTC provides "no-action" protection for FCMs accepting digital assets as margin, offering regulatory clarity to institutions and requiring them to maintain robust risk controls. The CFTC also rescinded Staff Notices 20-34, as the content became inapplicable due to the GENIUS Act and rapid developments in recent years.
Several industry companies welcomed this move. The Chief Legal Officer of Coinbase stated that the CFTC's decision proves that stablecoins and digital assets can enhance payment efficiency. The President of Circle stated that this will reduce settlement friction and strengthen the dollar's dominance. The CEO of Crypto.com called it "an important moment in U.S. crypto history." A Ripple executive pointed out that clearly including stablecoins as qualified margin will bring higher capital efficiency.
The CFTC stated that the relevant actions incorporated feedback from market participants, public comments, feedback from the Crypto CEO roundtable, and recommendations from its Global Markets Advisory Committee.
Binance announced that its internal audit department received a report on December 7, 2025, alleging that an employee used insider information to post content related to a newly issued token on official social media and profited from it. Binance's preliminary investigation confirmed that the employee participated in the on-chain issuance of the token at 05:29 UTC and tweeted related material on the @BinanceFutures account less than a minute later, constituting abuse of position and violation of company professional standards.
Binance has taken immediate suspension measures against the employee and has proactively contacted the regulatory authority in their jurisdiction, pledging to cooperate with the investigation and hold them accountable. The official emphasized its commitment to user supremacy and principles of transparency, fairness, and integrity, and will continue to strengthen internal controls to prevent similar incidents from occurring again.
In response to this incident, Binance has completed the verification and deduplication of whistleblower leads and has issued a total of $100,000 in rewards to the earliest and most effective whistleblower, with relevant individuals receiving formal notification via email. Binance reminds that rewards are only applicable to valid reports submitted through the official channel audit@binance.com and calls on the community to continue providing leads through formal channels in the future. The Binance team stated that it will continue to work with the community to maintain a transparent and healthy ecosystem, providing users with a safer trading environment.
CZ responded to the previously reported incident of a Binance employee profiting from their position, stating, "I heard that someone has reported the case to the police. Binance will closely cooperate with law enforcement agencies in various countries, and there is basically nowhere to hide." He emphasized that although he is no longer responsible for Binance's operations, he will still assist in forwarding reports of employee violations to the appropriate channels if the community provides feedback through private messages or comments.
CZ also mentioned that the last user who reported to him did not provide any evidence but later requested him to list a certain token. He reminded the community "not to be that kind of person" and called on everyone to report in the correct manner.
Industry News
Phong Le, CEO of Strategy, stated that the company plans to hold Bitcoin at least until 2065 and will continue to implement a long-term accumulation strategy. He mentioned that although the rise of spot Bitcoin ETFs provides more allocation channels for the market, MicroStrategy stock remains an important proxy for investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin.
Currently, MicroStrategy has accumulated over 660,000 BTC, making it one of the largest Bitcoin treasury companies in the world.
CoinShares: Last Week's Inflows into Digital Asset Investment Products Reached $716 Million
CoinShares' latest report shows that digital asset ETPs recorded inflows for the second consecutive week, totaling $716 million this week, with market sentiment continuing to improve. Inflows were widely distributed globally, with the U.S., Germany, and Canada contributing $483 million, $96.9 million, and $80.7 million, respectively. Bitcoin attracted $352 million in inflows, while XRP and Chainlink performed well, recording inflows of $245 million and $52.8 million (a record), respectively. Short Bitcoin products saw an outflow of $18.7 million, the largest since March 2025, suggesting that negative sentiment may have bottomed out. Although total assets under management have rebounded to $180 billion, they remain far below the historical peak of $264 billion.
Project News
Ripple completed approximately $500 million in secondary market share sales, valuing the company at approximately $40 billion. The terms include a sell-back right for investors at a higher price, locking in profits for participants including Citadel.
MetaMask has launched perpetual contract (Perps) trading on its mobile platform, allowing trading of over 150 tokens as well as some U.S. stocks and other equity assets, with technology provided by Hyperliquid. Users can open long or short positions directly on mobile, with up to 40x leverage, without needing to connect to centralized exchanges or additional dApps.
MetaMask stated that users can recharge their perpetual contract accounts with any EVM chain token, which will be automatically converted to USDC for quick order completion. Supported tokens include ETH, BTC, LINEA, XPL, BONK, etc., and supported U.S. stocks include Nvidia (NVDA), Tesla (TSLA), Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT), Palantir, Robinhood, Circle, etc.
MetaMask claims that its trading experience has been specially restructured to aim for trades to be "completed within seconds," better adapting to the high volatility characteristics of the perpetual market. Currently, this feature is not available to users in the U.S., U.K., Belgium, Ontario, Canada, and countries under U.S. sanctions.
Investment and Financing
Tether participated in a €70 million (approximately $80 million) financing round for Italy's Generative Bionics. The company, spun off from the Italian Institute of Technology, focuses on developing "physical AI" humanoid robots capable of operating in high-risk or high-load industrial environments, aiming to perform handling, dragging, and repetitive tasks that traditional robotic arms struggle with.
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that this investment is an important step for the company towards "digital and physical infrastructure," aiming to reduce reliance on centralized systems from large tech companies and support technological innovations that can enhance societal resilience. In recent years, Tether has invested in several internal and external AI projects and has made multiple investments in the Bitcoin mining sector.
AllScale Completes $5 Million Seed Round Financing, Led by Yzi Labs and Others
Self-custody stablecoin digital bank AllScale announced the completion of a $5 million seed round financing, led by Yzi Labs (through EASY Residency Season 2), Informed Ventures, and GenVentureCap, with participation from Aptos Deep Mind, INP Capital, Astera Ventures, Summer Sun Capital, Carry Investment, V3V Ventures, and others.
Airwallex founder and CEO Jack Zhang revealed in a post that back in 2018, Stripe offered to acquire Airwallex for $1.2 billion when the company's annual revenue was only about $2 million, corresponding to a valuation of approximately 600 times its revenue. Based on that offer, Zhang's potential personal gain could exceed $2 billion, but the team ultimately chose to decline.
He stated that the company's annual recurring revenue (ARR) has now reached $1 billion, and the latest funding round raised a total of $330 million, increasing its valuation to $8 billion. According to previous statements, this round of financing was led by Addition, with participation from Activant, Lingotto, and TIAA Ventures, and its valuation has risen by about 30% compared to the last round of financing six months ago.
Regulatory Policies
Negotiations in the U.S. Congress regarding the crypto market structure bill have not progressed smoothly, with Senator Bernie Moreno stating that discussions over the past few weeks have been "quite frustrating," emphasizing a reluctance to push a flawed bill just to meet deadlines. He plans to meet with Democratic lawmakers this Tuesday to understand their positions.
Although the U.S. has passed a stablecoin regulatory bill this year, a more comprehensive "crypto market structure bill" remains stalled. Such legislation aims to clarify the regulatory boundaries between the SEC and CFTC and establish a unified investor protection framework. The House passed its version of the "Digital Asset Market Clarity Act" in July, while the Senate version is still being drafted. Although the overall direction is not conflicting, the legislative process is more complex in the Senate.
Moreno, involved in drafting the Senate Banking Committee's bill, proposed a new classification for "ancillary assets" to clarify which crypto assets do not fall under securities and delineate the regulatory responsibilities of the SEC and CFTC. At the same time, the Banking Committee needs to collaborate with the Senate Agriculture Committee, which recently proposed a bill to expand the CFTC's authority.
Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott revealed at the "Crypto Christmas" event that the committee may hold a bill review meeting on December 17 or 18, but several lawmakers indicated that progress may be affected by the holiday season. Senator Mark Warner pointed out that the committee is still waiting for the White House to provide feedback on quorum and ethical provisions.
Additionally, there are still disagreements in the draft regarding bank stablecoin yield arrangements and DeFi regulatory approaches. Some Democratic lawmakers are also concerned about potential conflicts of interest involving current President Trump in his own crypto projects. Bloomberg previously estimated that the Trump family earned approximately $620 million through DeFi project World Liberty Financial, stablecoin operations, and their 20% stake in mining company American Bitcoin, with related memecoins (TRUMP, MELANIA) also drawing legislative attention.
Central Bank of Argentina Considers Allowing Traditional Banks to Trade Cryptocurrencies
The Central Bank of Argentina (Banco Central de la República Argentina, BCRA) is considering allowing traditional financial institutions to once again offer cryptocurrency services, which could mark a significant shift from the ban imposed in 2022.
The ban was issued by the BCRA in May 2022, just days after Argentina's two largest banks announced plans to open services to digital assets, as the BCRA deemed such moves risky for users and the "entire financial system." Reports cite sources close to the BCRA stating that new cryptocurrency regulations are being drafted. A representative from a local exchange believes that the measure could be approved as early as April 2026. This potential regulatory shift aligns with the recent direction of the Argentine government, as the country's securities regulator finalized rules for Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASP) in mid-March 2024, requiring crypto service providers to register starting in April 2024.
