Stock token trading platforms based on the U.S. SEC’s new “Innovation Exemption” framework may begin emerging as early as the fourth quarter of this year, Crypto in America reported. The Innovation Exemption, introduced by the SEC on Sept. 17, refers to a temporary conditional exemption allowing limited trading of tokenized U.S. stocks in an on-chain environment. In that regard, SEC Crypto Task Force chief counsel Taylor Lindman said related firms were expected to announce business plans in the coming months and that “the first announcements are likely to come in the next quarter.” SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce said limits remain on listed securities and trading size, but added the framework is sufficient to operate commercial platforms and could be adjusted later if needed.

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes argued that a slowdown in the U.S. AI industry would ultimately support Bitcoin by expanding the money supply. In a blog post, Hayes said weaker demand for AI computing could expose debt risks tied to data centers, raising the likelihood that the U.S. government would inject liquidity either to support the AI industry or to bail out insurers exposed to bad assets. In either scenario, Hayes said, the U.S. would end up printing money, which would lift BTC and some altcoin prices.

A ruling Democratic Party lawmaker has publicly called for delaying South Korea’s planned digital asset tax, arguing the government is not ready to implement it fairly, Edaily reported.

According to Edaily, this is the first time a ruling party figure has openly raised the need for a tax delay, drawing attention to its potential political impact.

DeFi analyst Ignas said long-term Bitcoin holder selling pressure has fallen sharply, adding that it would not be surprising if BTC breaks its record high of $126,000 this year. In a post on X, Ignas reproduced the English phrase "2024~2025" and said more than $104 billion worth of BTC that had not moved for over five years at the time, or at least 5% of total market capitalization, was moved or sold during that period. Ignas added that long-term whale selling above $100,000 had continued to cap further gains, but much of that overhang has now passed. Galaxy Digital Head of Research Alex Thorn pushed back on that view, saying Ignas' chart is dollar-denominated and that the picture looks somewhat different when measured by BTC volume and coin age. Thorn said long-term holder transfers have always occurred and that, at the current pace, 2026 transfer volume would be about half the 2025 level.
