SoFi rolls out US dollar stablecoin issued by bank subsidiary

SoFi Technologies has launched SoFiUSD, a fully reserved stablecoin issued by its banking subsidiary, SoFi Bank. The stablecoin is backed one-to-one by cash and is redeemable on demand. Initially issued on Ethereum, it is designed for low-cost settlement across payments, card networks, remittances, and enterprise platforms. SoFi's stock rose 5% following the announcement. This move aligns with a broader trend of major U.S. banks, including JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup, exploring stablecoins following the passage of the GENIUS Act, which clarified the regulatory framework for such digital tokens in the United States.

Bloomberg’s Seyffart sees crypto ETF shakeout: ‘Throwing a lot at the wall’

Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart predicts a significant shakeout in the crypto ETF market, with many single-asset altcoin ETFs facing potential liquidation by late 2026 or 2027. While issuers have over 126 filings, indicating a crowded field, Seyffart warns that low market-cap altcoins are particularly vulnerable in a bear market. He instead sees crypto index ETFs, which track a basket of assets, as a more effective and promising category. Despite strong institutional inflows into products like XRP and SOL ETFs, price performance remains heavily influenced by market sentiment, with some assets like ADA falling significantly. The analysis concludes that while institutional adoption is crucial, it doesn't guarantee price stability.

What Forward’s tokenized FWDI shares mean for Solana, DeFi, and Real-World Assets

Forward Industries (NASDAQ: FWDI) has become the first public company to place SEC-registered equity directly on a blockchain—Solana—enabling its tokenized shares to be used as collateral in DeFi. Through Superstate’s infrastructure, ex-US shareholders can deposit FWDI tokens on Kamino, Solana’s lending protocol, and borrow stablecoins while maintaining equity exposure. Unlike synthetic or offshore tokenized products, this represents real common stock, recorded in real-time by an SEC-registered transfer agent. The move highlights Solana’s growing role in regulated financial integrations, especially given FWDI’s significant SOL holdings. It sets a precedent for compliant onchain equity, opening doors for public companies to access programmable finance, new collateral types, and real-time settlement—bridging traditional markets with DeFi.

MEV trading returns to court in Pump.fun class-action lawsuit

A US court has allowed new evidence to be incorporated into a class-action lawsuit against memecoin platform Pump.fun, MEV infrastructure firm Jito Labs, and the Solana Foundation. The amended complaint includes over 5,000 internal chat logs provided by a confidential informant, allegedly revealing coordinated discussions about an MEV scheme. The lawsuit, originally filed in July, accuses Pump.fun of misleading retail investors by marketing “fair” memecoin launches while allegedly colluding with validators to use maximal extractable value (MEV) techniques to front-run retail traders. Plaintiffs claim insiders received preferential access to tokens at low prices before dumping them on retail users. The case could set a significant US legal precedent regarding MEV, a complex and ethically debated practice in crypto. This development follows a recent mistrial in a separate MEV bot case, underscoring the legal system's challenges in adjudicating such technically intricate matters.

Introducing: Taker-Flow-Based Gamma Exposure

This article introduces a Taker-Flow-Based Gamma Exposure (GEX) model specifically designed for crypto options markets. Unlike traditional equity markets, crypto options have different participant behaviors and data availability, making classic GEX heuristics inaccurate. The new methodology leverages the unique transparency of crypto exchanges, where the taker of each trade is identifiable, to reconstruct actual dealer positioning by mirroring cumulative taker flows. This flow-based approach provides a realistic, net view of dealer gamma exposure across strikes and maturities. The resulting GEX metric helps identify price zones where dealer hedging flows are likely to stabilize (positive gamma) or destabilize (negative gamma) the market, offering traders a map to anticipate volatility regimes and potential pinning effects. The model is available for major cryptocurrencies on Deribit.

Introducing: Taker-Flow-Based Gamma Exposure

Introducing a flow-based approach to Gamma Exposure (GEX) tailored for crypto options markets. Unlike traditional equity markets, crypto options exhibit distinct participant behavior and trade motivations, making conventional GEX heuristics unreliable. By leveraging taker-level trade data from venues like Deribit, this methodology reconstructs dealer positioning by mirroring cumulative taker flows—strike by strike and maturity by maturity—rather than relying on static assumptions. The resulting GEX metric identifies zones where dealer hedging flows may either stabilize prices (positive gamma, causing "pinning") or amplify volatility (negative gamma, creating "slippery" zones). This framework provides a dynamic, realistic view of market structure, helping traders anticipate volatility regimes and key price levels in assets like BTC, ETH, and SOL.

ETH nears $3K after cool CPI print but $553M Ether ETF outflow raises alarm

Ether (ETH) declined to $2,800, triggering $165 million in liquidations, with a 13% weekly drop amid broader risk-off sentiment. U.S.-listed Ether ETFs saw $553 million in outflows, reversing previous inflows and signaling fading institutional interest. ETH futures open interest and premiums declined, reflecting reduced leverage demand and cautious positioning. Cooling U.S. CPI data at 2.7% provided some relief, allowing ETH to rebound toward $2,950, but concerns over slowing Ethereum network activity persisted. DApp fees fell to $68 million, and staking levels dipped, indicating weaker on-chain demand and holding sentiment. Traders remain wary amid economic uncertainty and broader market risk aversion.
