Odaily News — As U.S. stocks are about to enter the final quarter of the year, Scott Rubner, Head of Equity and Derivatives Strategy at Castle Securities, is "increasingly constructive" on the upcoming trend. Investors may experience a bumpy ride in the short term, but if market weakness persists through the end of the month, this opportunity should be used to rebuild positions in core market sectors. Market sentiment toward artificial intelligence has sharply turned negative, and related positioning has also decreased. These trends should begin to reverse starting in October, first in tech stocks and then spreading to the broader market.
Scott Rubner wrote in a note to clients: "This does not mean we believe the weak September trend is over. Approaching the end of the month, the supply-demand landscape remains unfavorable, the technical backdrop continues to pose resistance to stocks, and we still believe stocks could decline further over the next two weeks. But the market landscape has already begun to change."

Odaily News: U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul S. Atkins stated that the SEC today adopted an "innovation exemption" to provide temporary, conditional regulatory relief for certain tokenized NMS stocks to conduct onchain trading. Qualifying tokenized securities trading venues (TSVs) may be exempt from the "exchange" definition under the Securities Exchange Act, and qualifying liquidity providers may be exempt from the "dealer" definition. Atkins stated that the exemptions are subject to four key conditions:
First, the TSV must be a U.S. entity and comply with the economic and trade sanctions regulations of the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC);
Second, a permissioned access system must be implemented, allowing only qualifying participants to trade tokenized NMS stocks;
Third, trading of synthetic tokenized stocks is prohibited; the relevant tokenized stocks must be tokenized by the underlying stock issuer or an unaffiliated third party, and holders must enjoy the same rights as traditional securities, including dividends and voting rights;
Fourth, issuers have the right to object to and prevent their securities from being traded on the TSV, and the anti-fraud and anti-manipulation provisions of federal securities laws continue to fully apply to the relevant securities activities.

Odaily reports: U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Commissioner Hester M. Peirce stated that the "innovation exemption" has been implemented, and the SEC today issued an order granting a time-limited exemption to allow on-chain trading of stocks listed on major U.S. exchanges. The exemption establishes a new category called "Tokenized Securities Trading Venue" (TSV), allowing it to conduct trading through automated market maker (AMM) liquidity pools, while also providing an exemption from the "dealer" definition for certain participants who provide liquidity to TSVs. Peirce stated that the measure is intended to allow market participants to experiment in order to observe how tokenized NMS stocks trade in different on-chain scenarios and how they interact with traditional markets, thereby accumulating data for the formulation of long-term regulatory rules.
Hester M. Peirce also emphasized that the exemption is not aimed at decentralized finance (DeFi), and the SEC will not preemptively determine that TSVs or their liquidity providers (LPs) qualify as "exchanges" or "dealers."
