CFTC Chairman Michael Selig Reveals Crypto Exchanges Already Seeking to Join New Regulatory Framework

CFTC Chairman Michael Selig confirmed that cryptocurrency exchanges are actively seeking to participate in the agency's new digital asset regulatory framework proposed in October. The voluntary opt-in model allows CFTC-registered exchanges to offer margin, leverage, and financing-based crypto trading services under federal oversight. Selig noted that some new market entrants are pursuing federal registration specifically to avoid the burden of applying for licenses state-by-state. With legislative progress on comprehensive crypto regulation stalling, Selig emphasized that the CFTC will continue advancing its regulatory agenda through rulemaking rather than waiting for congressional action.

Metaplanet Slashes FY2026 Revenue Forecast by 59%, Cites Sub-1.0x mNAV Blocking Share Issuance

Metaplanet's board of directors has cut its consolidated earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, with revenue projections slashed by 59.4% from ¥16 billion to ¥6.5 billion and operating profit forecasts reduced by 73.7% from ¥11.4 billion to ¥3 billion. The company attributed the downward revision to its mNAV remaining below 1.0x, which prevented it from issuing new shares at the originally planned scale. As a result, Bitcoin purchases and its Bitcoin Income business fell short of expectations. Proceeds from ¥52 billion in convertible bonds issued in October will be prioritized for share buybacks rather than additional BTC accumulation. The company also cited increased expenses from management fees and goodwill amortization tied to consolidating Metaplanet Securities. Despite the revised outlook, Metaplanet reaffirmed that its Bitcoin-centric financial strategy remains unchanged.

Treasury Secretary Bessent: Fed Should Not Over-Hike Rates as Energy Supply Shock Fades

US Treasury Secretary Bessent urged the Federal Reserve to focus on future economic conditions rather than overreacting to a temporary energy supply shock, warning that excessive rate hikes would be inappropriate as the disruption is about to fade. He emphasized that markets remain resilient, with four of the strongest bond auctions in 20 years held recently and vigorous dollar buying observed. Bessent expressed confidence in the US economy, stating it is in very good shape with no alarm signals. He noted that falling gasoline prices could lead to moderate data readings next week and argued the Fed should not pivot its policy stance solely because of the energy supply shock, advocating for an open-minded approach to monetary policy decisions.

South Korean Lawmaker Pushes to Pass Digital Asset Basic Act by Early January to Match U.S. Stablecoin Rules

Democratic Party lawmaker Min Byung-duk called for completing South Korea's Digital Asset Basic Act before January 9, 2027, to align with the U.S. stablecoin regulatory regime taking effect on January 18. Speaking at a discussion session on November 13, Min argued against restricting won-denominated stablecoin issuance to bank-majority consortia, advocating instead that any entity meeting requirements such as 100% reserves and instant redemption should be permitted to participate. Min also proposed establishing a presidential digital asset committee, extending the crypto tax implementation date to 2029, and allowing three-year loss carryforwards for digital asset investors. The push reflects growing urgency in Seoul to finalize its comprehensive crypto framework amid accelerating global regulatory developments.

MANTRA Suspends All Unbonding Transactions for 7 Days After Keplr Private Key Breach

MANTRA has urgently suspended all unbonding transactions for 7 days following a private key vulnerability involving Web3Auth and Keplr wallets. Hackers exploited the breach to steal liquid assets from user wallets and then unstaked users' staked MANTRA tokens without consent. Unstaking processes already in progress remain unaffected, but users must redelegate before the end of the 8-day unbonding period to prevent their assets from being claimed by attackers. MANTRA previously froze multiple hacker wallets through Governance Proposal No. 41. The team will reassess the situation when the suspension period expires.

US Congress Demands Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Testify on China Chip Export Controls

US Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott has demanded that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick testify before Congress in early December over chip export controls to China. Scott's letter, sent November 13, requests Huang appear on December 3 and Lutnick on December 10, warning that a subpoena could be issued if Huang fails to comply. Lutnick has agreed to appear. Separately, chairmen of three House committees have requested that Huang and Nvidia General Counsel Tim Teter submit to closed-door questioning on December 1 and 2. The investigations center on US chip export restrictions targeting China and Nvidia's Singapore-based customer Megaspeed, which US officials identified as having a former executive linked to intelligence operations. The Justice Department says it has not reached a conclusion on the matter. Nvidia maintains it complies with all US export laws.
