the Korea Exchange has drafted amendments to the "Securities Market Business Regulations Implementation Rules," which will raise the minimum trading unit for single-stock leveraged ETFs from the current 1 share to 20 shares, and for ETNs from 1 security to 20 securities. The exchange is currently seeking market feedback.It is understood that South Korean financial regulators originally planned to implement this measure in November, but given the rising speculative trading in single-stock leveraged products and the need to cool it down ahead of schedule, the exchange is pushing for implementation as early as next month. In addition to raising the trading unit, regulators will also strengthen investor protection measures. New retail investors must complete at least 5 trading days of simulated trading—1 hour per day, totaling 5 hours—before participating in single-stock leveraged product trading. (EDaily)

Odaily News: Connecticut Federal District Court Judge Vernon D. Oliver denied Kalshi's motion for a preliminary injunction, ruling that its sports event contracts do not constitute swaps under the Commodity Exchange Act. The CFTC therefore does not hold exclusive jurisdiction. The ruling noted that sports event contracts account for 80% to 90% of Kalshi's listed contracts and revenue, and the CFTC has never reviewed any of these contracts under relevant special rules. Oliver held that event outcomes fall under the category of event results, not separate events. Coinbase Financial Markets suffered a similar defeat on the same grounds, having offered Kalshi contracts through its platform since January as a futures commission merchant rather than a designated contract market, and Connecticut had not previously issued a cease-and-desist order against it. Kalshi was valued at approximately $11 billion at the time of its February hearing, with around 24,000 users in the state. (Bitcoin.com News)
Odaily News: Paradis Labs stated on the X platform that the key takeaways from Lumentum's earnings call are as follows. 1. EML. Lumentum reported strong EML performance this quarter, driven primarily by 100G-per-channel products. Growth for 200G-per-channel products is "accelerating rapidly," now accounting for over 25% of total EML revenue. Lumentum still expects EML shipments in December 2026 to grow by more than 50% compared to December 2025, even as it shifts some production capacity to CW lasers during this period. Lumentum has added sales of CW laser chips for 200G-per-channel applications to "numerous customers," moving beyond internal use only. The company is expanding two indium phosphide wafer fabs in Japan and is validating production processes for 200G and 300G-per-channel CW lasers and EMLs on its latest equipment. Coherent will report earnings tomorrow, with its business also involving 200G-per-channel EMLs and 400-milliwatt CW lasers. The market is watching whether its 6-inch indium phosphide wafers can deliver a cost advantage, and whether Lumentum will need to respond by improving yields. 2. CPO and NPO. Lumentum stated that the leading CPO customer's production plans "remain on track," with customer demand signals stronger than at the time of the last update. The company now expects laser shipments to begin ramping in the second half of next year, earlier than the customer's large-scale deployment scheduled for 2028. Lumentum has received its first order for ELS modules, with delivery scheduled for the second half of 2027. Other customers are primarily prioritizing NPO as an interim solution. The company said NPO will "bring fully incremental business and significantly expand the total addressable optical market," with even its largest CPO customer evaluating NPO for certain new application scenarios. AAOI expects to ramp ELSFP capacity to approximately 400,000 units per month by 2028. Sivers Semiconductors' external indium phosphide light sources are gradually being adopted for CPO and NPO applications. Lumentum, as the largest commercial laser manufacturer, has already procured products related to the ELS architecture, indicating the architecture has gained validation through real orders. 3. Cloud transceivers and 1.6T. Lumentum's 800G business set a record and began volume shipments of 1.6T products as planned. The company said its visibility into future cloud transceiver demand is "clearer than ever before." The 1.6T business will continue to strengthen from the first fiscal quarter through 2027, driven primarily by hyperscalers' custom AI clusters accelerating the transition from 800G to 1.6T. Lumentum stated that in many cases, it achieved product launch earlier than its larger competitors, and it expects this market share advantage to persist throughout the cycle. Transceiver business profitability is improving, driven by better yields, higher capacity utilization, and an increasing mix of 1.6T products. Lumentum

Odaily News: The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced that it has required prediction market operator Kalshi to continue operating in New York. Previously, New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a lawsuit against the company in late July, seeking to shut down the platform. The CFTC stated that after Kalshi sought assistance, the regulator invoked its "emergency powers" to require the company to continue operations. This action has intensified the rift between federal commodity regulators and state regulators over prediction markets. States argue that at least sports-related prediction markets constitute gambling platforms and violate state regulations; CFTC Chairman Mike Selig stated that Congress did not intend for derivatives exchanges to be subject to a regulatory framework composed of state gambling laws.

美国证券交易委员会(SEC)宣布周五举行会议，拟为加密资产投资合约制定定制化规则，以填补《CLARITY 法案》未能通过后的监管空白。
Odaily News: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will hold a public meeting on August 14 to consider proposing a "Regulation Crypto" rule framework that would allow certain crypto projects to raise funds without completing full securities registration. If public comment is initiated, this would mark the SEC's first formal, long-term crypto industry rulemaking. The framework is expected to establish a pathway for exiting SEC oversight: after project developers raise funds, if they no longer actively manage the project and the project achieves decentralization, it may fall outside SEC jurisdiction. SEC Chair Paul Atkins has previously stated that the exemption period could last up to four years, though the announcement did not disclose funding amount thresholds. The U.S. Senate did not advance the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act before entering its August recess. The final rule will still take several months to complete, and the meeting will be held at 10:00 a.m. ET on August 14. (Decrypt)
After the US Senate adjourns, the CLARITY Act has only a 36-day session window remaining to pass legislation, still facing controversies such as ethical provisions.

Odaily News ENS DAO has voted to pass the "Next Era of ENS DAO" proposal and completed on-chain execution, officially establishing the ENS Foundation to usher the ENS ecosystem into a new phase of governance.According to the proposal, the ENS Foundation will become a fully operational organization, equipped with a full-time executive director, a professional team, and a board of directors consisting of 5 members. It will be responsible for ENS's institutional work in legal, policy, standards-setting, and brand protection. ENS stated that over the past nearly decade, it has developed into critical infrastructure within the Ethereum ecosystem, with millions of registered domain names and integration across numerous wallets, applications, and Layer 2 networks. However, the DAO itself lacks a legal entity status, which prevents it from effectively participating in internet naming system governance, signing institutional cooperation agreements, hiring full-time employees, safeguarding trademark rights, or engaging in regulatory discussions. The establishment of the ENS Foundation aims to fill this gap. Going forward, the Foundation will be responsible for:1. Representing ENS in internet standards organizations such as ICANN, IETF, and W3C, to promote the recognition and management of the ".ens" top-level domain (TLD);2. Participating in policy discussions as a legal entity, communicating with regulators and government agencies;3. Holding and protecting ENS trademarks and intellectual property, and combating phishing and impersonation activities;4. Hiring full-time employees to manage ecosystem operations, grant programs, and treasury management;5. Serving as the formal cooperation entity between traditional institutions such as registrars and standards organizations and the ENS ecosystem.
