Odaily News - Hyperliquid Policy Center announced that it has recently submitted a joint comment letter with Douro Labs to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), supporting the SEC's proposal to rescind Rule 611 of Regulation NMS (the "Trade-Through Rule") and calling on regulators to establish a clearer Best Execution regulatory framework for on-chain markets.The Hyperliquid Policy Center believes that the current Trade-Through Rule is built on traditional securities market structures and is clearly incompatible with blockchain-native trading models. HPC and Douro Labs put forward three recommendations in their joint comment letter:First, they support the SEC in rescinding the Trade-Through Rule. The two companies argue that this rule relies on a traditional quote system that cannot accurately reflect the on-chain trading environment, and its continued application could hinder the development of on-chain financial markets.Second, the SEC should establish clear best execution guidance for on-chain trading. On-chain markets feature new factors that do not exist in traditional markets, such as quote-less trading, 24/7 operation, blockchain network fees, and MEV (Maximal Extractable Value). Brokers need clearer regulatory standards to ensure they can execute trades on behalf of clients.Third, the regulatory framework should be principles-based and recognize independent price reference mechanisms. HPC and Douro Labs suggest that when the traditional NBBO cannot cover on-chain markets, the SEC should recognize independent price reference data formed through transparent, manipulation-resistant mechanisms. For example, the Pyth Network, which Douro Labs helped build, provides price oracle services for on-chain markets by aggregating real-time data supplied by exchanges and market participants.
Nasdaq has announced the selection of the Pyth Network as its market data distribution channel, bringing its core product, Nasdaq TotalView, which includes depth market data and order imbalance information, onto the blockchain and institutional-grade data networks.According to the announcement, Nasdaq will join the Pyth Data Marketplace as a data publisher. This integration will enable its market data to be distributed through a single interface to on-chain protocols, institutional systems, and various software-driven financial applications. This marks the first time Pyth has carried native market data distribution from a major exchange.Nasdaq TotalView is its standard depth-of-market data product, covering the complete order book. It displays the order depth at each price level and market participant behavior, while also providing order imbalance data during the opening and closing auction periods.
Odaily Odaily Reports: Blockchain oracle and market data provider Pyth Network has announced the launch of continuous price indices for U.S. stocks and commodities, aiming to support around-the-clock trading products in the crypto market. The initial coverage includes U.S. stocks such as Nvidia, Tesla, Apple, Circle, and Strategy, as well as commodities like gold, silver, WTI crude oil, and Brent crude oil.It is reported that Coinbase, Kraken, dYdX, and Nado have been the first to integrate these indices to build new trading markets. This pricing system can provide continuous reference prices for perpetual contracts, tokenized assets, prediction markets, derivatives settlement, and ETF benchmarks, even updating data during traditional exchange closures.Additionally, Pyth is collaborating with MarketVector (a VanEck-owned index provider) to develop sector index futures covering themes such as artificial intelligence, defense, and technology.

Odaily Pyth Network has announced a major strategic transformation: a comprehensive infrastructure upgrade and a shift in its economic model from token incentives to revenue-driven. According to two core proposals (OP-PIP-100, OP-PIP-103), Pythnet will be gradually shut down by 2026, with focus shifting to the next-generation underlying network Lazer. The OIS staking reward mechanism will be terminated (parameter Y set to 0), while the security slashing mechanism will be retained.Meanwhile, the PYTH Reserve has repurchased approximately 12 million PYTH using protocol revenue. Commercial products (Pyth Pro, Data Markets) have become the core growth drivers, with leading prediction markets such as Polymarket and Kalshi already integrated. Institutional adoption continues to rise.
