🔗 Base Cobalt upgrade brings conditional transactions and issuer controls for tokenized assets

Base activated its Cobalt upgrade, introducing conditional transactions and new compliance tools for tokenized assets on the Ethereum layer-2 network.

📌 Key points

• Validity Transactions let traders submit conditional swaps that execute only when specified onchain conditions are met
• Issuers gain administrative controls including scheduled stock splits and authorized token transfers with public notes
• Base plans faster block times and protocol upgrades in the coming months

📋 CFTC pushes to classify prediction market contracts as swaps, not gambling

The CFTC submitted two regulatory proposals to the White House seeking to formally define event contracts as "swaps" and separate them from gambling classification, directly challenging state regulatory authority.

📌 Key points
• The CFTC filed rules for OMB review that would extend swap definitions to include event contracts traded on platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket
• A second rule would explicitly state that event contracts are not casino-style gambling products
• Recent federal court rulings have conflicted, with some circuits ruling these contracts are subject to state gambling laws

💡 Why it matters: This regulatory battle shapes whether prediction markets fall under federal derivatives oversight or state gambling jurisdiction, with major legal and operational implications.

📌 Key points
• Equity will be distributed to partners based on their contributions to OUSD supply and transaction activity over 4-5 years
• Five founding partners have equal initial stakes; the partner network has grown to over 200 companies including UBS and SBI Holdings
• Open USD eliminates minting and burning fees and targets banking, payments, settlement and institutional trading use cases

💡 Why it matters: Stablecoin competition is intensifying as major financial institutions enter the market, shifting focus from issuance alone to distribution networks and real-world utility.

💰 Dutch Government Plans Capital Gains Tax on Bitcoin From 2028

The Netherlands is moving toward taxing actual crypto profits rather than assumed returns, with a new capital gains tax framework set to launch in 2028 if approved by parliament.

📌 Key points
• Currently, Dutch crypto holdings are taxed on an assumed 4% annual yield regardless of actual gains or losses
• Under the new system, taxes would only apply when gains are realized through sales
• Most financial instruments would be taxed from 2028, with some assets transitioning in 2030
• The letter didn't clarify whether digital assets fall into the 2028 or 2030 timeline

💡 Why it matters: This would align crypto taxation more closely with traditional investment rules across Europe, though tax treatment varies significantly by country.

🌏 Singapore's crypto economy surges 55% while region contracts

Singapore's crypto activity jumped to $284 billion year-over-year, driven largely by institutional platform growth, while the broader Central and Southeast Asia region saw activity decline 6.8%.

📌 Key points
• Institutional platform activity nearly doubled to $60 billion, concentrated among market makers and trading firms rather than new entrants
• Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam recorded 5.4 million small-value P2P transfers under $10,000, representing 14.4% of global P2P activity
• Cross-border stablecoin activity now exceeds domestic activity across all analyzed markets, with regional cross-border use 3.2x larger than domestic

💡 Why it matters: Singapore's regulatory clarity on crypto licensing is attracting institutional capital while the region's P2P and stablecoin adoption highlights crypto's role in remittances and cross-border settlement.

⛽ Petrobras tests Cardano for tracking sustainable fuels

Brazil's state oil company is piloting Cardano blockchain to trace environmental claims on sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel, preventing double-counting of emissions benefits.

📌 Key points
• Aviation fuel project records who owns emissions reductions and when they're claimed to stop the same benefit being counted twice
• Diesel project creates a production-to-use history to help companies track indirect emissions across their supply chain
• Both initiatives remain in research phase with no deployment timeline disclosed

💡 Why it matters: As corporations face pressure to verify sustainability claims, blockchain-based provenance tracking offers a way to ensure environmental benefits aren't fraudulently duplicated.

🚨 Bitget hackers move $4M into Zcash's private pool

Wallets tied to the $387.5 million Bitget breach moved roughly $3.9 million in Zcash into the cryptocurrency's shielded payment system, obscuring transaction trails as the exchange pursues recovery.

📌 Key points
• About 2,746 ZEC entered Zcash's Ironwood shielded pool in three transfers, representing 15% of stolen ZEC from the Sept. 24 breach
• Shielded pools hide senders, recipients and amounts, though timing and transaction values can still provide investigative clues
• Other stolen funds have moved across blockchains through swap services, leaving more visible public records

💡 Why it matters: Hackers using privacy features complicates asset recovery efforts and demonstrates why exchanges monitor cross-chain movement patterns.
