former New York Governor and OKX board member Andrew Cuomo stated that tokenization of US financial markets is accelerating, and the regulatory system needs to keep pace with technological and market developments. On September 17, the SEC introduced a five-year interim "innovation exemption" framework, allowing eligible on-chain trading platforms to trade tokenized stocks of certain US-listed companies under specific conditions.The framework requires trading platform participants to obtain licenses. Tokenized stocks grant investors the same rights and benefits as traditional stocks, with smart contracts audited and deployed on public chains; when the underlying stock is suspended from trading, the corresponding tokenized stock must also cease trading. On September 15, the US Senate failed to advance the Digital Asset Market Structure Act, and comprehensive digital asset regulatory legislation remains contentious.
Odaily News: The CFTC's Division of Market Oversight issued a staff advisory on September 22 stating that contracts tied to specific individuals' statements, appearances, or interactions are more susceptible to manipulation risks, requiring exchanges to explain protective measures on a contract-by-contract basis, including whether outcome determiners are bound by independent obligations, whether they may be subject to pressure, whether outcomes can be externally verified, and whether monitoring mechanisms are suited to the relevant risks.The document represents staff views and does not constitute binding rules, nor does it prohibit such markets. The CFTC also disclosed that a White House teleprompter operator once used early access to speech drafts to trade such contracts, earning $107,500; Kalshi subsequently still listed the relevant market and said it had responded to prior discussions with the CFTC.

Bitwise's Institutional Crypto Asset Adoption Report states that it engaged with investment heads from 15 institutions, including endowments, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, family offices, and publicly traded companies, between late March and April 2026. All surveyed institutions holding crypto assets hold Bitcoin, with allocations ranging from 0.5% to 13% of investable assets, mostly between 1% and 2%. During the crypto market's approximately 50% decline from October 2025 to April 2026, no institution reduced its holdings; some even increased them. Nearly all surveyed institutions have either used or plan to use spot crypto ETFs, with governance processes, operational arrangements, and reputational risk serving as the primary obstacles to expanding their allocations. Bitwise expects that most institutional investors will hold crypto assets over the next five years.

According to Decrypt, on September 23, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (CFTC) Market Surveillance Division issued an advisory opinion classifying “mention-type contracts” in prediction markets that involve specific individuals’ statements, appearances, handshakes, photographs, and social media interactions as products presumed susceptible to manipulation. The CFTC noted that the settlement outcomes of such contracts can be actively controlled by the parties involved, and relevant insiders (such as those holding draft speeches or guest lists) may possess material non-public information. Exchanges seeking to rebut this presumption must provide detailed monitoring mechanisms and risk control evidence, including measures such as establishing restricted participant lists, third-party reviews, and position limits. This advisory opinion was issued approximately three weeks after the CFTC fined former White House teleprompter operator Gabriel Perez $172,000 for trading “presidential mention contracts” after learning the contents of the president’s speech in advance. The advisory opinion is not legally binding and represents only the stance of the division's staff.
