Cryptomarket Check-In. Major Events & Headlines. Oct 22
Everything that moved crypto today, in one card: SoFi, China, Italy, moneycanbuy, Solana, Aerodrome and more.
Route 3, spot only: @dYdX runs spot markets without a license, while perps stay closed to US users.
The door opened in May, when the CFTC cleared the first onshore crypto perp. Stablecoins without a license become illegal in the US on Jan 18, 2027.
DeFi wants in on US users, and there are 3 routes in
@Lighter_xyz will file for a CFTC exchange and clearing license in November. If approved, it will become the first on-chain perp #DEX licensed by the US derivatives regulator 👇
@pete_rizzo_ USDT on Bitcoin is the headline, but Tether has been busy everywhere else too. 9 deals in 7 weeks, $423M+ disclosed, and almost all of it went into one $400M private credit fund. Here is where the rest went 👇

💸@Tether went shopping: 9 deals in 7 weeks
Since Sep 1, $423M+ has been disclosed, and ~95% of it went into a single private credit fund. Here is where the rest went 👇
The point is who's paying. Any AI agent with a wallet can post a dare, so agents finally have a way to hire humans for real-world tasks: go somewhere, film something, prove it.
$YOLO is paired with $IMD on Ethereum.
IMD, a swarm of 2,000 AI agents, just launched @moneycanbuy_fun and its token $YOLO
The agents wrote, audited and deployed the whole thing themselves, from smart contracts to the website 👇
How https://t.co/2Jn0y9VWj2 works:
• Post a dare and lock the reward onchain
• Someone does it and uploads proof
• The contract pays out
• Disputed proof goes to a vote of identity.md NFT holders
$FLR is now tied to usage:
• Inflation down to 3% since May
• July upgrade raised base fees 20x, so every transaction burns more FLR
• ~47B $FLR staked or delegated, about half of the circulating supply
Next test: $FBTC, which would bring #Bitcoin in.
❗️@FlareNetworks turns 129M XRP into working DeFi capital
Close to 90% of $FXRP supply is lent, staked or used as collateral instead of sitting in wallets. And it held after the incentives ended 👇
Incentives ended in July. FXRP in #DeFi fell just 5%, from 136M to 129M.
Where it works:
• Lending: 52%
• Firelight staking: 39%
• DEXs: 8%
20M FXRP now sits on Ethereum, Monad, and other chains, 5x more than in July.
The biggest check: a $400M anchor for Fasanara's private credit fund. It aims for $3B and lends to small businesses in 60+ countries in USDT.
Plus ~$5.2M in https://t.co/EGBl6kbTvh shares, lifting the stake above 12.6%, and a share swap with Rumble.
💸@Tether went shopping: 9 deals in 7 weeks
Since Sep 1, $423M+ has been disclosed, and ~95% of it went into a single private credit fund. Here is where the rest went 👇
AI, 3 deals in one week:
• @AIsaOneHQ: seed extension, payments for AI agents
• @Tenstorrent: joined the $1.5B Series E for AI chips
• @Mural_pay: led a $15M Series A, AI-agent payments
Latin America, 3 USDT fintechs:
• @SomosPlenti (Colombia): led a $3M seed
• @EFYFinance (El Salvador): seed round
• @Peso_latam (Bolivia): led the pre-seed
@GorkemCrypto The chart is turning, and so are the rules. From Jan 18, 2027, issuing a stablecoin in the US without approval is illegal, and Tether is launching USAT to stay in the US game 👇
Every US stablecoin now has a rulebook
From Jan 18, 2027, issuing a #stablecoin in the US without approval is illegal. The @USOCC just published the final rules every issuer must follow 👇
@solana The NYSE on the Breakpoint stage is the headline. The bigger flex already shipped: Alpenglow cut Solana finality from about 6 seconds to about 0.15, roughly 40x faster 👇
❗️@Solana just cut finality from about 6 seconds to about 0.15 seconds
#Alpenglow, its biggest upgrade since 2020, went live on mainnet today. Our live RPC measurement shows ~0.2s, roughly 30x faster. @anza_xyz targets 150 milliseconds 👇
@Stefan_B_Trades If it was the news, here it is in one card: Standard Chartered, OCC, JPMorgan, Grayscale, Solana, Tether and more. Everything that moved crypto 👇

@LarkDavis We measured it live: our RPC shows Solana finality at about 0.2s on mainnet. That puts it level with Hyperliquid and Base, while Ethereum still takes about 15 minutes. It took six test cluster restarts to get here 👇
