Headlines
Trump Supports CFTC's Exclusive Jurisdiction Over Prediction Markets
US President Donald Trump stated on Truth Social that it is crucial for the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to retain "exclusive jurisdiction" over prediction markets, echoing the stance of CFTC Chairman Michael Selig.
Trump also stated that the US is in the process of formulating relevant rules, referencing his campaign promise to make America a center for cryptocurrency and Bitcoin-related fields. Under the leadership of sole Commissioner Selig, the CFTC has filed lawsuits and amicus briefs against several states to maintain its jurisdiction over prediction markets. The core dispute revolves around whether prediction market contracts related to sports and entertainment qualify as predictive products, and whether contracts offered by regulated designated contract markets (DCMs) should fall under CFTC jurisdiction.
OKX Launches Exchange OS: An Open Trading Infrastructure Based on X Layer
According to official news, OKX has officially released the Exchange OS whitepaper. This is an open protocol built on X Layer that embeds capabilities like order matching, margin, clearing, settlement, and unified accounts into the protocol layer. Anyone can autonomously deploy spot, perpetual, and prediction markets on Exchange OS without platform approval. User funds are custodied by the protocol's smart contracts, meaning no single entity can unilaterally access them; OKX's own market and external markets adhere to the same protocol rules.
Additionally, Exchange OS supports cross-market unified accounts, allowing users to use the same funds to participate in multiple market types simultaneously.

Industry News
Kenya Proposes 10% Consumption Tax on Crypto Trading Platforms
Kenya's 2026 Finance Bill proposes a 10% consumption tax on virtual asset service providers. The bill also requires crypto companies to pay a one-time licensing fee of 150 million Kenyan shillings and an annual renewal fee of 2 million Kenyan shillings before operating locally, and to submit annual reports to the Kenya Revenue Authority containing user and transaction details.
Analysts believe this could drive some crypto platforms and users to relocate to more crypto-friendly countries, potentially weakening Kenya's position in the African crypto market.
WSJ: Stablecoins Are Essentially "Private Money," Posing Potential Risks to the Financial System
Although the GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act are pushing for stablecoin compliance, stablecoins remain essentially "private money" and may pose structural risks to the financial system.
The article points out that while stablecoins aim to combine the stability of the US dollar with the efficiency of blockchain payments, they operate on fragmented, private infrastructure and lack the unified nature of the traditional dollar system. Although USDT and USDC are pegged to the dollar, their prices can still deviate from $1.
Project News
Bitget has announced the launch of Reality, a licensed financial protocol focused on the tokenization of Real World Assets (RWAs). Its issued tokenized stocks (rTokens) are strictly pegged 1:1 to underlying US stocks. Assets are custodied with a FINRA-registered, SIPC-protected US securities broker, with real-time reserve proofs provided through third-party independent audits. By directly accessing liquidity pools from the Nasdaq, NYSE, and other US stock exchanges, Reality's stock tokens offer liquidity comparable to traditional brokerages. Simultaneously, stock dividends will be distributed 1:1 in token form to user accounts, cash dividends will be automatically converted and distributed as USDT, and stock splits and reverse splits will be instantly mirrored to on-chain tokens, providing an experience highly consistent with holding US stocks.
