Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) has announced it is considering shifting its cryptocurrency regulatory framework from the Payment Services Act (PSA) to one based on the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act (FIEA). According to Cointelegraph, the move would strengthen disclosure requirements for Initial Exchange Offerings (IEOs).

Projects, regardless of their decentralization status, would also need to provide details on their issuance, distribution methods, and operating entities. The regulatory overhaul would also include expanded enforcement authority over unregistered overseas platforms and decentralized exchanges (DEXs), as well as an explicit ban on insider trading.

Gravity, the Layer 1 blockchain from Web3 community platform Galxe (G), announced it is being developed as a high-performance blockchain optimized for Real World Assets (RWA) and oracle utilization. In a post on X, the project stated it is building the necessary infrastructure to run large-scale RWA issuance, prediction markets, and data-intensive DeFi on-chain. According to the post, Gravity is based on Paradigm's Reth and incorporates a parallel EVM, an optimized mempool, and a pipelined execution structure, targeting a finality of approximately 1.9 Gigagas per second. The project also noted that an oracle layer is integrated directly at the protocol level, designed to anchor data from other chains, JWKs, and DNS, and provide it to contracts in a structured format. Gravity also distinguished itself from Tempo, another Reth-based, payment-focused blockchain that recently launched a public testnet. While Tempo focuses on real-world payment flows like stablecoin settlements, Gravity said its emphasis is on creating a high-performance execution environment for data-intensive applications such as native oracles, RWAs, and prediction markets.

Hedge funds are adopting risk-off positions ahead of the December U.S. Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, according to an analysis by XWIN Research Japan, a contributor to CryptoQuant. The research firm noted that while Bitcoin holdings on major exchanges are declining, deposits of USDT and USDC are on the rise. This trend indicates that institutions are reducing their exposure to risk assets and accumulating cash-like assets, a move often interpreted as a pre-emptive hedge before a major market event. This pattern mirrors behavior seen before the FOMC announcements between August and October. During that period, short-term traders entered large long positions, causing funding rates to spike, only for them to plummet immediately after the announcements. Bitcoin's price followed a similar trajectory, staging a brief rally on rate-cut hopes before reversing from its peak. The analysis concludes that with stagnant Bitcoin futures open interest on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and unchanged spot holdings among whale investors, the rising stablecoin inflows suggest institutions are focused on pre-emptive risk management rather than predicting market direction.
