SECs Atkins Pushes for U.S. Stocks to Move On-Chain With

SEC Chairman Paul Atkins said Tuesday that he wants U.S. stock trading to move onto blockchain networks, signaling a broader push to bring on-chain markets into traditional finance.  “I want the stock market to move on-chain,” Atkins said on Sept. 29. He said blockchain technology could change how stocks are traded and how ownership records are maintained.  The comments follow the SECs Sept. 17 approval of a temporary framework allowing certain venues to trade tokenized U.S. stocks through permissioned automated market makers and liquidity pools.  SEC Opens Path for Tokenized Stocks  The SECs Innovation Exemption gives Tokenized Securities Venues temporary relief to trade tokenized National Market System stocks on-chain. The five-year exemption comes with conditions designed to protect investors and market integrity.

Issuers can also object when an unaffiliated party seeks to tokenize their stock.  Project Crypto Supports On-Chain Markets  The move follows Atkins Project Crypto initiative, which seeks to modernize securities rules for blockchain-based markets. The temporary framework allows the SEC to observe on-chain trading while considering longer-term rules.  Atkins said the agency is “not cementing todays technology as the standard

Political memecoins blur public power and private profit: GSN CEO

California‘s Sep. 27 signing of AB 2409 has put political memecoin conflicts under scrutiny, with Global Settlement Network CEO Ryan Kirkley calling for rules focused on officials’ financial interests rather than restrictions across digital assets.  SummaryKirkley says politically linked memecoins can connect public authority with personal financial benefit.Californias listing restrictions cover certain official-linked memecoins issued from Jan. 1, 2027.The GSN CEO favors rules addressing ownership, promotion, control, disclosure and financial benefit.Regulators should distinguish speculative tokens from payment and settlement assets by their economic function, he says.  Ryan Kirkley, CEO and co-founder of Global Settlement Network, told crypto.news that politically linked memecoins present a distinct problem because an official associated with a token may also possess the authority, access and public visibility to influence its trading environment.  In his assessment, speculation alone does not explain the conflict. When a tokens appeal depends heavily on its association with someone holding public office, he said, the official could benefit financially from attention attached to powers entrusted to them by voters.  “The concern is not simply that the asset is speculative; it is that someone entrusted with public power could potentially benefit from the market value attached to that power.”  Discover more  News  financial  Currencies & Foreign Exchange  Political memecoins connect official influence

ICP crypto extends 60% recovery—can it break $3.50 as sentiment cools?

Internet Computer [ICP] gained about 6%on September 29, climbing from the $3.15price level to about $3.33.  The daily rise is only part of the story, as ICP has now recovered roughly 60%from its August low near the $2.05price level. Although weakening social sentiment suggests traders are not fully convinced the rally will continue.  ICP recovery reaches a crucial point  ICP spent much of June and July moving lower before reaching its recent bottom in early August.  The recovery started slow but buying picked up during September. It reclaimed the $2.60price level, crossed $3,and continued toward its latest high near the $3.48area.  Looking at its current position above the main price averages shows that the recovery has developed for a while. What this means is that buyers have been able to maintain control for longer than a single trading session.  Trading activity has also increased as it approaches the $3.50price area. This shows how positive the advance is, but the latest candle shows some resistance near that level. The price reached $3.48before it went back toward $3.33.  Source: TradingView  That makes the $3.40–$3.50price area the next area to watch. If it moves beyond it convincingly, the recovery continues. However, if it fails, traders who bought earlier might want to

AAPL Price Prediction: $341 Ceiling Is the Line in the Sand — Bulls Need a Q4 Earnings Catalyst to Break Higher

Tony Kim  Sep 29, 2026 12:05 UTC  AAPL is stalling at $337.21, trapped between an immediate resistance at $341.18 and support at $335.12, with the MACD flatlining and top traders tilting short — a clean earnings beat on October 29 …  A Record Quarter Behind It, But the Price Action Is Choking Near the Top  Apple closed the books on an extraordinary Q3 FY2026. Revenue came in at $109.4 billion, up 16% year-over-year. Diluted EPS of $2.02 crushed analyst estimates of $1.89, extending the companys consecutive earnings beat streak to nine straight quarters. iPhone revenue surged 22% to $54.3 billion. Services hit a record $30.7 billion with 1.5 billion paid subscriptions. By any fundamental measure, that was a dominant quarter.  Yet here we are, with AAPL sitting at $337.21 on the tokenized Binance market — down roughly 1% on the session, having kissed a 24-hour high of $343.06 before sellers stepped in with conviction. The stock is approximately 2% below its 52-week high of $345.34, and that ceiling is holding. Traders following this name on Blockchain.news will recognize the pattern: a monster fundamental quarter, a guidance that underwhelmed (Q4 guidance implies just 9–11% revenue growth versus Q3‘s 16%), and a $250 million Siri class-action settlement

Bitcoin drops to $82,000 on US data, and inflation fear is blamed

US job openings cooled modestly in August, but September households grew more worried about inflation and interest rates. That split left Bitcoin investors with only part of the case for easier financial conditions after Sept. 29 releases.  Related Asset Bitcoin #1 BTC · $83,403.15 24-hour change: down 0.05% Loading price history… 24H Down 0.05% 7D Down 3.26% 30D Up 6.10%  Bitcoin registered an intraday low of $82,775.94 on Tuesday, and a reclaim of the $84,000 support level depends more on the path of yields and new demand than on a single vacancies report.  The labor and consumer surveys describe different pressures, and neither establishes the cause of Bitcoins price.  Job openings ease as rate worries rise  According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, August job openings were little changed at 7.1 million, down from a revised 7.3 million in July. The July figure was revised upward by 64,000, making the comparison less dramatic.  Hires changed little at 5.2 million, quits were unchanged at 3.1 million, and layoffs and discharges were essentially unchanged at 1.6 million. The report points to somewhat softer demand for workers, and a slower labor market may ease pressure on interest rates, while a sharp deterioration could also hurt risk appetite.
