Former Chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chris Giancarlo stated in an interview with Bitcoin Magazine that the Democratic Party has taken control of both houses of Congress, and the direction of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency regulation will face new challenges. He pointed out that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and CFTC have clarified their respective regulatory scopes, and currently, both sides are cooperating smoothly.Giancarlo believes that the upcoming debate over regulatory jurisdiction "is less about good regulation and more about territory." He also mentioned that the progress made by the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) in tokenized collateral indicates that regardless of how Washington's policies change, Wall Street is moving towards digital network finance.Giancarlo, known as "Crypto Dad" for his long-standing support of the cryptocurrency industry, also discussed topics such as stablecoin regulation, the regulatory status of prediction markets and perpetual contracts, as well as central bank digital currencies in this interview.

The founder and CEO of DogeOS, which builds EVM-compatible application layers for Dogecoin, Jordan Jefferson, told The Block that the DogeOS mainnet is "very, very close" to launch, at which point developers will be able to build applications and DeFi functionalities on Dogecoin. He stated that the first version of development has been completed and the audit has also been finished. The current main goal of the team is to push for the launch of the DogeOS mainnet, but no specific launch date has been provided.Jefferson mentioned that prior to this, DOGE holders had limited options beyond buying, holding, transferring, and tipping. DogeOS aims to provide more use cases, potentially including games and other ways to earn Doge. He emphasized that to make Dogecoin "a currency for more people," DeFi infrastructure is essential. Currently, over 100 developers are involved in related projects, and the team is providing support and advancing integration with wallets, exchanges, and other protocols.This progress follows the launch of Dogecoin Labs last month, which brings together developers and products from DogeOS, the Dogecoin Foundation, and House of Doge. Jefferson stated that Dogecoin is too large to rely solely on donations forever, and Dogecoin Labs aims to provide financial support for core developers.

Joe Flanagan, co-founder of the on-chain asset management platform Maple, announced his decision to leave Maple. He stated that Maple has been the center of his life for the past seven years, and leading and building this company has been his full commitment. His partnership with co-founder Sid Powell has lasted nearly a decade, during which they built a business that he has always been proud of. Over time, their views on strategy, leadership style, and life orientation have gradually diverged, and these differences are no longer beneficial to the team or the business. He believes it is more appropriate for one co-founder to continue leading Maple forward than to allow these differences to persist and widen.Joe Flanagan stated that as a co-founder, he needs to agree with the decisions he has participated in, the direction he asks others to follow, and the choices for which he still needs to be responsible. He mentioned that he can no longer continue to do so with conviction and loyalty to his own values, and therefore chose to leave rather than continue to support a direction he cannot agree with. He will assist with the transition for the remainder of this year and provide support as requested by Sid and the team, after which he will no longer participate in Maple. He also stated that he has not left the industry and is currently formulating his next steps, which he will share more about soon. Maple officially confirmed that Joe Flanagan will step down as chairman and leave the company, describing this as an orderly transition agreed upon by both parties, with the company's direction remaining unchanged; since 2019, he has helped Maple expand its managed assets to $4.8 billion and its loan issuance to $20 billion.

Glassnode posted on platform X that Bitcoin has fallen below the short-term holder cost price of $75,600, underperforming compared to U.S. stocks, and the funds that could drive its rise are continuously flowing out. Currently, about 35% of short-term holders are in profit, with sellers averaging small losses.In terms of capital, the total supply of stablecoins has decreased by $14.2 billion over the past 30 days, marking the fastest contraction since June 2022; the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF has seen a net outflow of $1.6 billion over the past 20 trading days; excluding the impact of USDT falling below $1, the 30-day average premium on Coinbase has remained negative, with the discount being the deepest since February. On the macro front, the two-year U.S. Treasury yield is at 4.75%, which is 75 basis points higher than the current 4% rate of the Federal Reserve, indicating that the bond market expects further rate hikes, but it is far from the level of 244 basis points in June 2022.However, there are also positive signals, as the decline has cleared most of the long leverage near the price, with the largest concentration of liquidations located between $59,500 and $62,600; since the sell-off on November 5, buy orders within a 5% price range in the Binance and Coinbase spot order books have consistently outnumbered sell orders; wallets holding between 100 to 1,000 BTC and 1,000 to 10,000 BTC have started to accumulate over the past week.Glassnode stated that if it returns to $75,600, it will support the judgment of a trend reversal in August; if it continues to fall below $73,000, it may enter a longer period of consolidation; if it closes below the June low of $58,500, the trend reversal since August will be broken.

Nick Tomaino, a partner at 1confirmation, stated that 1confirmation has participated in all rounds of financing for Polymarket to date and has decided to increase its investment again. Although the fund focuses on seed-stage investments and typically does not participate in later-stage financing, it believes that Polymarket is worth breaking this investment convention.Nick Tomaino mentioned that there has been a demand for prediction markets for over a century, as users wish to place bets on events in politics, culture, and more. In the age of AI, one of the biggest challenges faced by young people is discerning the truth of information, and prediction markets can transform users' trading and investment enthusiasm into more accurate information.He emphasized that the long-term value of Polymarket is not just in sports betting, but in providing a more effective information discovery mechanism for political, geopolitical, and cultural events. Currently, while the U.S. market is primarily focused on sports trading, the accuracy of information is what gives prediction markets their more enduring value.Additionally, he believes that Polymarket's business is continuously upgrading, with the current management team performing excellently, and the products in the U.S. market are at an industry-leading level, with revenue consistently reaching new highs. Regarding the token program, he stated that while he did not fully agree with some of the related promotional methods previously, it is unreasonable to assert that the token program has lost its potential.Finally, Nick Tomaino stated that Polymarket founder Shayne has a strong desire for success and is one of the most direct and transparent people he knows.

Binance co-founder He Yi posted that in recent days, the internet has been filled with scandalous rumors about Asian women and spies, and many female professionals in the industry have been passively drawn into various scandals, which makes her feel complicated. She believes that equality should be pursued, meaning that one should evaluate a person's achievements without regard to gender.She pointed out that opportunities for women in the workplace are not equal, and workplace harassment is also common. Female managers who can stand on their own often have to invest more time and effort than others.He Yi mentioned that accounts that create rumors by exploiting gender should be cleared from the industry.

This week, the New York Stock Exchange chose Avalanche to provide infrastructure for its upcoming tokenized securities platform. On Monday, Ava Labs announced that Avalanche will serve as the "core ledger technology" for the tokenized securities platform being developed by the NYSE's parent company, Intercontinental Exchange. The product is designed to support 24/7 trading, clearing, and settlement of tokenized securities, pending regulatory approval.Market maker GSR research analyst Carlos Guzman stated that this is a "significant victory for the project," as the NYSE's choice of its technology for settlement greatly enhances institutional credibility and validates the value that blockchain technology brings to traditional financial infrastructure through instant settlement and programmability. Luther Maday, North America head of crypto payment company Mercuryo, mentioned that this decision was made after approximately a year of testing on Avalanche, indicating that the network has passed tests for performance, reliability, and control.Experts also remind that providing infrastructure does not necessarily mean the long-term value of the AVAX token will rise. Guzman pointed out that while the NYSE will use Avalanche infrastructure for clearing and settlement, actual transactions will still occur off-chain, with related activities running on dedicated infrastructure rather than the public C-Chain that carries most of the network's activities. Misha Putiatin, founder of Symbiotic, stated that the main challenge for Avalanche is whether it can achieve "value capture" that is difficult for other blockchains. According to Decrypt data, AVAX rose 3.6% in the past 24 hours to $8.64.

According to Bitcoin.com News, former White House cryptocurrency advisor Patrick Witt stated that President Trump still intends to purchase Bitcoin for the United States' strategic Bitcoin reserve, but public market purchases face serious legal issues. Witt mentioned in the What Bitcoin Did podcast that the president is interested in this, and there have been many discussions related to it. An executive order from March 2025 established the reserve, gathering Bitcoin seized by the government, and instructed the Treasury and Commerce Departments to seek "budget-neutral" acquisition strategies, but no such strategies have been made public, nor has any public market purchase been announced.Witt indicated that due to Congress controlling federal spending, the "legitimacy" of direct public market purchases is in doubt. He also noted that concerns over purchases prompted Congress to include provisions in the National Defense Authorization Act prohibiting such actions, and he is working to push for permission and authorization for it. Witt pointed out that making the reserve permanent is more difficult, as passing a standalone bill in a divided Congress would be extremely challenging, and without legislation, the reserve would rely on executive orders, which future presidents could revoke.
