Retail traders dumped cryptos during the recent drop.
They might have changed their minds about that if they knew what your experts have been telling their subscribers all week.
That is, regulators in Washington and London just made some major moves to clear the path for institutional crypto adoption.
Earlier this week, the SEC dropped its two-year investigation of Ondo Finance (ONDO, “C+”) without charges.
In other words, …
After reviewing Ondo’s data, regulators found nothing that violated any rules.
Now, it’s easy to think this is just good news for ONDO.
But it’s good news for the cryptoverse. And here’s why …
This positive decision goes beyond ONDO.
It validates tokenized securities in general.
And your experts now see a flashing bright “welcome” sign for other RWA projects.
That’s not even the biggest crypto news of the week.
The Commodities Futures Trading Commission here in the U.S. saw that move … and it raised the stakes some more in crypto’s favor.
The CFTC approved crypto trading on U.S. futures exchanges.
And it did so through existing regulations.
This means leveraged crypto trading can move from offshore platforms … to regulated U.S. exchanges like CME Group.
The CME Group is the leading financial derivatives marketplace in the world. That includes options, futures and other products that now include cryptos.
That should bring better liquidity and tighter spreads for cryptos.
Even better?
There’s even more good news coming for cryptos!
The SEC’s Project Crypto Is Poised to Be the Next Price Catalyst.
Project Crypto represents a complete 180-degree change from how the SEC previously approached digital assets.
It focuses on regulatory clarity, rather than vague commentary and sporadic enforcement.
According to your altcoin expert Mark Gough, Project Crypto is ready to enter its next phase in January 2026.
And in his latest update, he’s prepared a timeline for you.
This way, you can keep track of its progress … and have a better handle on when the real liquidity flood will likely begin.
Plus, he gives you one way you can get into position before that happens.
There’s good news for our international readers too, as this week’s big developments weren’t exclusive to the U.S.
Binance secured a regulatory win from Abu Dhabi Global Market. The centralized exchange giant received a comprehensive regulatory license — an end-to-end framework covering exchange operations, clearing and custody.
It plans to move its global headquarters from the Cayman Islands to the UAE.
In other words, Binance is choosing regulatory compliance over offshore operations.
Elsewhere in the cryptoverse …
- The UK's Financial Conduct Authority is simplifying its rules to give high-net-worth clients more flexible access to investment opportunities.
- France's BPCE bank opened crypto trading to 2 million customers.
- Argentina's central bank is considering allowing banks to offer crypto trading and custody.
Crypto’s shift to legitimacy keeps accelerating.
That’s important to keep in mind, especially as the broad market continues to struggle.
Near-term price action may be choppy. But the regulators are getting on board … just as the Smart Money Quietly Doubles Down on Crypto, according to DeFi expert Marija Matić.
In her latest update, Marija explains what sparked the big players’ bullishness. And what retail investors like you should take away from it.
Of course, not every institution is as welcoming. Crypto Is the Canary in the Coal Mine for MSCI’s Latest Proposal.This could reshape both the TradFi and crypto markets.
Tech expert Jurica Dujmovic explains what it all means, how it could impact your investments and what to watch for next.
But that’s not all your crypto experts have for you this week …
Bitcoin’s Forecast Beyond the Fed’s Latest Cut
Legions of traders, investors and speculators sit glued to their screens, trying to decipher how a 25-basis-point cut might shape the future of risk assets. But what they often overlook is that the Fed’s decisions don’t happen in a vacuum.
This week, Juan Villaverde shows you how we forecast the Fed’s next step … and, by extension, Bitcoin’s (BTC, “B+”) longer-term outlook.
Finally, Bob Czeschin let you know that Crypto’s Comeback Signal Flashes from Beijing.
As he explained last week, a growing M2 (broad money supply) normally correlates very well with rising crypto prices. And Bob sees three big reasons why he believes China’s printing presses will shift into high gear soon.
That’s all for this week. Be sure to check your inbox tomorrow afternoon for your next Weiss Crypto Daily update.
