4E News: SEC "Innovation Exemption" Accelerates, Macroeconomic and Crypto Markets Resonating Upward

ChainCatcher News: Paul Atkins, chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), stated in Manhattan that the SEC plans to initiate the "Innovation Exemption" rulemaking process by the end of 2025 or the first quarter of 2026, aimed at helping businesses based on digital assets to innovate in compliance with a clearer regulatory framework. Atkins emphasized that despite the government shutdown affecting the progress of the rules, this policy remains one of the SEC's top priorities. He also praised Congress for its efforts in passing the "GENIUS Act," stating that "the SEC will embrace innovation in a more open manner."

Negotiations in the U.S. Senate remain stalled. Republican leader John Thune announced that the Senate will vote for the sixth time on the short-term funding bill on October 8 to end the government shutdown. The previous five attempts have been unsuccessful.

On the market side, S&P has launched the "Digital Markets 50 Index" to support diversified crypto investment strategies; Grayscale's Ethereum spot ETF has reached a latest staking volume of 304,000 ETH, valued at over $1.3 billion; CoinShares has launched the DIME ETF to provide investors with exposure to mainstream altcoins.

On the macro front, Wall Street investor Paul Tudor Jones stated that U.S. stocks are on the "verge of a bull market explosion," planning to hold gold, cryptocurrencies, and Nasdaq tech stocks before the end of the year. He believes this phase may be more explosive than before the 1999 dot-com bubble.
