The CFTC has published the crypto market framework in the Federal Register. This is not a notice of proposed rulemaking—it is a draft rule. Published on October 13, it is based on Section 2(c)(2)(D) of the Commodity Exchange Act, aiming to resolve the core question: whether retail leveraged crypto trading constitutes a “future” and falls under federal commodities law [reference:6]. Comments are due by December 14—a full 60-day window. What does this mean? Retail leveraged products on U.S.-compliant exchanges may need to be redesigned under commodities law, and DeFi protocols offering financing functions are also within scope. TD Cowen’s assessment is more conservative: the final rule may not be settled until early 2028—but the direction is now set. For the next two months, the industry still has time to respond.

Jeonbuk Bank's first corporate loan in won against Bitcoin, reported October 12, needed no new law and no regulatory sandbox. It rests on Supreme Court rules that took effect October 1 and let a court sell pledged crypto, so the bank never holds a coin. Why it matters: Jeonbuk Bank's corporate customers can now borrow against their Bitcoin for working capital instead of selling it, and other Korean banks now have a model that fits within current law.

It's official—a major leadership shift has just happened in our tech sector! 🚨🇵🇭 President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has appointed former Social Security System (SSS) CEO and President Robert Joseph Montes de Claro as the new Secretary of the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT). 🏛️💼 He steps into this massive role at one of the most critical times for the Philippine digital landscape. Right now, the agency is juggling monumental tasks: defending against rampant cyberattacks, regulating social media giants, pushing for government blockchain transparency (like the new COMPASS portal), and trying to foster a globally competitive local startup ecosystem. 🌐🛡️ With so many pressing issues on the table, the new Secretary is going to need a solid game plan. So, we want to pass the mic to you—the actual users, builders, and investors in the Philippine tech space. ⚙️ If you had a direct line to Sec. de Claro today, what is the very first regulation, policy, or project you would urge him to implement? Should he focus on stricter penalties for scammers? Better support for local fintechs? Or maybe just ensuring faster and cheaper internet nationwide? 📡🔐 Drop your ultimate day-one priority for the new DICT Chief in the comments below! Let's get the community's voice heard! 🗣️👇
