🥴 Optimism Moves $49M in OP

Optimism (OP) redirected $49 million in OP from user airdrops to the Optimism Foundation’s Strategic Ecosystem Fund for partnerships, incentives and corporate deals.

A 8.486 million OP vote from Test in Prod, the Optimism Collective’s core development team, swung the result in the final 16 minutes 52 seconds. It approved transferring 546.9 million OP, or 12.7% of total supply. The vote ended 17.974 million to 10.931 million. Without it, approval would have been 46.47%, the quorum would have failed, and users would have kept the tokens.

L2BEAT criticized the fund’s broad mandate and the lack of audits of past partnership spending. Community members also cited signs of coordinated voting through addresses linked to the Optimism Team.

Historically, Bitcoin’s bear phase lasted 11–13 months. The current decline is in its tenth month, making September–November a potential window for a shift to accumulation.

✊ SEC Proposes Crypto Framework

The SEC has formally proposed “Regulation Crypto Assets”, its first major step toward a separate framework for investment contracts linked to cryptoassets.

The proposal would let smaller projects raise up to $5 million over four years without full SEC registration or extensive financial reporting. A separate exemption would allow fundraising of up to $75 million every 12 months]], with financial statements, project disclosures, and ongoing reporting required.

The proposed safe harbor could end a token’s status as part of an investment contract once the team completes or permanently stops all promised material managerial efforts and meets the other conditions. The token itself is not necessarily a security. The investment contract under which it was sold may be.

This is only a proposal. The market will have 60 days to submit comments after publication, followed by possible revisions and a final vote.

🔽 BTC Capitulation Signs Emerge

The share of BTC supply in profit fell to 51.4%, its lowest level in over three years. About 48.6% of coins are now at an unrealized loss.

CryptoQuant said levels below 55% have historically marked capitulation and reaccumulation. Similar readings last appeared in early 2023, when BTC traded at $16,000-$20,000. Analysts warned that trying to catch the absolute bottom is misguided, as accumulation may last longer than expected.

👊 World Liberty Gets Conditional Bank License Approval

The OCC conditionally approved World Liberty Trust Co.'s national trust bank license. 38% is owned by an entity linked to Trump and his family.

This license lets World Liberty issue stablecoins independently, no longer relying on BitGo. Capital still needs to be raised to complete the process.

Senator Elizabeth Warren, who opposed the application, called the approval "the most brazen act of self-dealing" in US finance and announced a bill to limit bank ownership by presidents and officials.
