    Cardano (@Cardano)

    In case you missed it, the recent Developer Spotlight is with @maxalexweber, creator of @ODATANO_V4. Coming from a background in SAP development, Max became curious about decentralized systems and started asking how Cardano could fit into the enterprise world. His answer is ODATANO, which lets SAP developers work with Cardano through OData, a standard they already know, so much of the blockchain complexity disappears. He also recorded a short message, walking you through his journey from SAP into Cardano and how it led to the creation of ODATANO. See below post for more details, and the link to the Developer Spotlight interview.🧵

    Crypto News - 9 October 2026 The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission proposed a new regulatory framework on October 5 that would allow cryptocurrency exchanges offering leveraged or margined trading to operate under federal oversight. The proposal introduces a category of regulated venues called crypto asset markets, with requirements covering proof of reserves, market manipulation safeguards and customer protections. Exchanges could opt into this framework rather than relying primarily on separate state money-transmitter licenses. The move follows Congress's failure to advance broader crypto market legislation and represents another attempt to establish clearer rules for digital asset trading. However, the proposed framework remains subject to the regulatory process and does not replace comprehensive legislation. Samsung Brings USDC Payments to Galaxy Wallets Samsung announced plans this week to introduce USDC stablecoin transfers directly through Samsung Wallet and Samsung Pay for eligible Galaxy users in the United States. The service, scheduled to begin rolling out in late October, will use blockchain infrastructure including Solana to support cross-border payments without requiring a separate cryptocurrency application. Users will be able to transfer USDC to compatible wallets and send funds to eligible bank accounts in more than 60 countries, with local currency conversion available. The initiative involves infrastructure provider Bastion and Coinbase, which will support custody services. Samsung's announcement highlights the growing integration of stablecoins into everyday financial applications and consumer payment systems. NYSE Parent Backs 24/7 Tokenized Stock Trading OKXICE, a joint venture between cryptocurrency exchange OKX and New York Stock Exchange parent Intercontinental Exchange, disclosed plans on October 5 for a regulated tokenized stock trading platform in the United States. The proposed venue would initially support blockchain-based versions of shares in more than 60 publicly listed companies, allowing round-the-clock trading and potentially faster settlement. Tokenized shares would retain traditional shareholder rights, including dividends and voting, under the proposed structure. The initiative builds on a new SEC innovation exemption designed to support regulated experimentation with blockchain-based securities. The platform has not yet launched and remains subject to regulatory conditions, but the announcement signals growing interest from established financial market operators in tokenization. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs opened Monday with USD 89.8 million in net outflows, as withdrawals from ARK 21Shares' ARKB (USD 85.2 million) and Fidelity's FBTC (USD 74.5 million) outweighed BlackRock's IBIT inflows of USD 69.9 million. Tuesday brought a reversal with USD 118.8 million in net inflows, led by IBIT (USD 122.0 million). Wednesday recorded the week's heaviest selling at USD 484.9 million in net outflows, driven by IBIT (USD 207.7 million), FBTC (USD 105.1 million) and ARKB (USD 101.7 million). Thursday extended the decline with another USD 244.1 million leaving the funds, including USD 197.1 million from FBTC. Overall, Bitcoin ETFs recorded approximately USD 700.0 million in net outflows across Monday through Thursday, signaling renewed institutional selling pressure. Friday's figures remain incomplete and are awaiting final issuer reporting, including IBIT. U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs began Monday with USD 50.8 million in net outflows, led by BlackRock's ETHA (USD 31.9 million) and Fidelity's FETH (USD 18.9 million). Selling accelerated Tuesday as ETHA recorded USD 201.9 million in withdrawals, bringing the day's net outflow to USD 201.9 million. Wednesday remained under pressure with USD 160.9 million in net outflows, driven by ETHA (USD 116.1 million) and Grayscale's ETHE (USD 25.8 million), alongside smaller withdrawals across other funds. Thursday saw another USD 72.5 million leave the market, although Fidelity's FETH attracted USD 5.5 million in inflows. Overall, Ethereum ETFs registered approximately USD 486.1 million in net outflows from Monday through Thursday, reflecting persistent institutional selling throughout the week. Friday's figures remain incomplete and are awaiting final issuer reporting. Cardano (ADA) led this week's tracked assets with a modest 0.8% gain, followed by Metal DAO (MTL), up 0.2%, and Metal Blockchain (METAL), up 0.1%. These were the only three assets in the tracked group to finish the seven-day period in positive territory. Loan Protocol (LOAN) declined 1.6%, while Bitcoin (BTC) slipped 2.3% and XPR Network (XPR) fell 3.5%. Larger losses were recorded across several major cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum (-6.7%), Solana (-7.5%) and Hedera (-8.4%). The broad pullback coincided with heavy outflows from U.S. spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, although market sentiment remained in Greed territory. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index stood at 59 on October 9, down from 72 a week earlier, suggesting optimism had cooled despite the index remaining above neutral.

    Day 2 of #TOKEN2049 🇸🇬 is a wrap And there was quite a bit happening around Cardano again! 🔹The @Cardano_CF announced that its .ada application has advanced to the next phase of @ICANN’s New gTLD Program. An initiative that is bringing potential .ada top-level domain one step closer. The application follows a Cardano Governance Action that received around 75% community support. 🔹@VeridianID is now an independent company, following its spinout from the Cardano Foundation. The digital identity platform is designed to give people, organisations and AI agents a way to verify identity and authority without relying on a central database. 🔹Veridian also became the first asset to be tokenized using CIP-113, following yesterday’s mainnet launch of the programmable token standard. 🔹@IOHK_Charles took to the TOKEN2049 main stage for Midnight City, exploring @MidnightNtwrk’s privacy-focused infrastructure and how AI agents could act and interact in a digital world. 🔹Cardano Foundation CEO @F_Gregaard joined a fireside chat on transparency, ownership and privacy, where he also spoke about the Veridian spinout. 🔹The TOKEN2049 Origins Hackathon reached its final stage, with 200 builders working on the emerging agentic economy. The Cardano track focused on x402 and @MasumiNetwork, with $27,500 in prizes across three winners. For an overview of the winners, click here: https://x.com/Cardano_CF/status/2108218814160662878?s=20 🔹 Meanwhile, the Cardano booth continued its second day of ecosystem showcases, with projects across DeFi, infrastructure, identity, lending, trading and agentic commerce walking attendees through what they're building. Cardano showed up up at token2049 with the biggest presence ever! 🔹And the #Cardano and #Midnight communities continued the conversation beyond the main conference, with Midnight Cafe and Privacy Pitched taking place as part of TOKEN2049 Week. These are a few highlights from Day 2. There was plenty more happening across the ecosystem, with two days of builders, projects, announcements and conversations now wrapped up in Singapore. https://x.com/Cardano/status/2107872852015739139?s=20
