According to CoinDesk, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has submitted two proposed rules to the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB): one would formally classify event contracts traded on platforms such as Kalshi, Polymarket, Crypto.com, and Robinhood under the regulatory definition of "swaps"; the other would explicitly exclude casino-style gambling products from the swaps category. This move aims to respond to recent federal court rulings—the Sixth and Eighth Circuits both ruled that Kalshi's sports-related contracts do not qualify as swaps and should be subject to state gambling regulations, while the Third Circuit upheld the CFTC's jurisdiction over prediction markets. With conflicting rulings across the circuits, the matter may ultimately need to be resolved by the U.S. Supreme Court. Currently, the CFTC comprises only one commissioner, Chair Mike Selig, with all related decisions made solely by him.

Odaily — Ostium has released an update on the July 15 exploit and a recovery plan for OLP holders. Ostium stated that the attack resulted in approximately $23.75 million being withdrawn from the Ostium Liquidity Pool (OLP), and available evidence suggests the attack may have been carried out by a nation-state actor. As of now, 649,967 USDC has been recovered, and the remaining vault assets currently held by affected users are worth approximately 30% of their pre-incident OLP positions.Ostium launched its recovery portal today and took a snapshot of OLP balances at the time of the incident, identifying a total of 3,666 affected wallets. Of these, 3,321 wallets — or 90.59% — are eligible for full compensation of verified losses through the Phase 1 plan. Users with losses of 1,000 USDC or less can directly claim an equivalent amount in USDC; users with losses exceeding 1,000 USDC may choose to claim 1,000 USDC and forfeit the remaining recovery allocation, or participate in the Phase 2 proportional recovery plan.Phase 2 funding will primarily come from subsequent recovery of attacker funds and a share of Ostium protocol revenue, with the specific revenue share ratio and related arrangements to be announced by October 30.As previously reported, Ostium's off-chain infrastructure was hacked on July 15, resulting in approximately 23.75 million USDC being withdrawn from the OLP vault.
