On November 3, Veda, an on-chain treasury infrastructure provider, announced that Veda, Aave Labs, and Kamino Foundation released a public summary of a legal framework discussing how U.S. federal securities laws apply to decentralized lending protocols and non-custodial treasuries. Veda stated that the framework addresses how securities laws should apply when financial activities traditionally performed by intermediaries are executed by smart contracts, and ownership, control, and decision-making are decentralized among different participants. The three parties submitted a more detailed version to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on October 26 and requested to communicate with the commission's staff. Aave Labs clarified that the detailed version was submitted to the SEC's crypto working group and corporate finance department, and requested a meeting with the staff, with the complete submitted documents remaining confidential.Veda stated: Securities regulation should follow the rights, obligations, and powers that are actually formed by arrangements, including who owns the assets, who bears the obligations, who exercises the authority, and whose economic outcomes are affected. Common infrastructure, receipt tokens, or discretionary service providers cannot unilaterally decide the above issues. The document analyzes against the Howey investment contract standard, Reves note standard, the Investment Company Act of 1940, and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and concludes that the analyzed agreements and treasury arrangements do not constitute investment contracts or notes, and the described treasury does not constitute an investment company, nor does the discretionary investment compensation necessarily constitute custody of client assets.Veda also stated that these conclusions depend on the specific structure, contractual arrangements, and distribution of rights and powers described in the document; if the ownership structure, repayment commitments, discretionary powers, or redemption restrictions differ, the legal analysis may also change. This submission did not request the SEC to establish exemptions, safe harbors, or specialized regulatory regimes for decentralized finance, but rather to apply existing securities laws and ask the commission to confirm that the law has distinguished between activities such as issuance, investment management, and custody. The blog post noted that the content is for informational reference only and does not constitute legal advice, and the SEC has not endorsed the conclusions of the document. According to publicly available information from RootData and Veda, Veda was established in 2024 and completed an $18 million financing round led by CoinFund in June 2025.

According to a report from DeepMind Institute, Google DeepMind researchers Alex Imas, Andrew Koh, and co-founder Shane Legg stated that the enhancement of individual AI capabilities will only gradually affect wages and prices. It is only when the collaborative abilities of multiple agents surpass the "super-collaboration" threshold that market concentration, employment, and wages will experience a sudden change.The article divides the development of AI into four stages: minimal AGI, super-competent AI, super-collaborative AI, and ASI. The article points out that current AI has strong individual capabilities but weak collaborative abilities, and changes in wages and job positions will occur before changes in corporate structures. The authors call for the establishment of benchmarks to measure the organizational capabilities of multiple agents.

The report points out that the application of tokenized stocks is extending from traditional stock trading to more scenarios such as collateralized lending, asset management, and systematic investment strategies.The research is based on Reality's rToken, combined with stock perpetual contract hedging and on-chain lending mechanisms, to explore stock basis yield strategies. Historical simulation data shows that from December 15, 2025, to October 19, 2026, the annualized net return of the strategy index is approximately 7% and 4% for in-sample and out-of-sample, respectively, with a gross funding cost rate premium of about 11% to 14%. The report also notes that financing costs, transaction execution fees, market liquidity, and risk management are key factors affecting the actual returns of the strategy.It is reported that Bitget and Keyring plan to jointly develop a stock basis index and build an on-chain lending market based on Reality's rToken. Among them, Reality provides exposure to tokenized stock assets, while Keyring is responsible for developing the index methodology and constructing the related lending market. The index aims to capture funding rate and basis yield opportunities by combining rToken holdings with corresponding stock perpetual contract hedging positions, providing new strategic pathways for the application of tokenized stocks in on-chain financial scenarios.
