During an interview with The Block at the Ondo event held in Seoul, South Korea, Ondo Perps CEO David Wells stated that offering perpetual contracts in the United States is a "huge opportunity," and that it is "reasonable" for Ondo to explore such expansion. He mentioned that everyone is paying attention to the U.S. because there are now more opportunities opening up that were previously impossible. However, he also noted that U.S. perpetual contract products will differ from existing products, with structures that vary from non-U.S. markets.Wells' remarks come as U.S. regulators are testing how perpetual contracts can enter the U.S. market with several companies. In August, Trump stated that the CFTC is "bringing Hyperliquid to the U.S. in a fully compliant and legal manner." Kraken's parent company, Payward, has announced plans to launch Hyperliquid's HIP-3 perpetual market for eligible U.S. customers through the CFTC-regulated Bitnomial Exchange and NinjaTrader Clearing. Coinbase has also applied to launch single-stock perpetual contracts in the U.S. Earlier this month, Ondo Finance submitted a letter to the SEC and CFTC arguing that U.S. stock perpetual contracts fall under the securities futures category as defined by the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000.Wells indicated that while the U.S. version of perpetual contracts and its market structure may be similar, settlement and clearing would need to change to comply with U.S. regulations. He did not confirm any plans to enter the U.S. market, stating that the team has not "gone too far" in exploring the U.S. market.

The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield returned to above 5.2% overnight, reaching a high not seen since 2007, putting pressure on global risk assets. Bitcoin has fallen back to around $83,000, with altcoins experiencing even larger declines. In this regard, Cloud, the chief analyst at Huobi HTX, believes that this drop is more akin to a normal pullback after a rebound and does not constitute the starting point of a trend reversal. The high U.S. Treasury yields mainly suppress valuations, with limited impact on the overall liquidity. The funding structure and holding costs of the crypto market itself have also not been disrupted. This round of decline seems more like a clearing of positions before key data is released.It is important to be cautious about the divergence between Bitcoin and altcoins. During a phase of marginal liquidity tightening, funds tend to concentrate on the most certain top assets; altcoins lack incremental funds to support them, and with heavier leverage, their pullbacks are therefore amplified. This divergence is likely to continue before the release of this week's PCE and non-farm data. If the data falls short of expectations, altcoins will have greater elasticity and thus higher risks; if the data exceeds expectations, Bitcoin's relative strength will be more pronounced. Whether Bitcoin can stabilize at key support levels will be the main signal to determine if this round of pullback has ended.Note: The content of this article does not constitute investment advice, nor does it constitute any offer, solicitation, or recommendation of investment products.

The directly traceable extraction amount has reached 18.43 million USD, and the actual amount may be higher.It is reported that the gang's methods are highly systematic: the funds raised from each issuance will flow into the launch wallet of the next issuance within seconds, forming a chain of funds; each issuance is bundled with 70-200 wallets to capture over 70% of the supply, mostly issued through the Pons V2 platform.In addition, the gang also creates "fake issuances" to hype up before the official issuance, harvesting market sentiment in advance, and then publishes the real contract address to maximize extraction profits. The token under investigation, $DEED, even failed to make it into the top ten of the extraction amounts.
