The decentralized perpetual contract trading platform Aster announced that, in light of recent developments related to PAPER and potential market risks, it has adjusted the pre-market perpetual contract for PAPER to a liquidation-only mode and plans to officially delist the contract at 9:45 AM Beijing time on October 20. Aster recommends that users holding open positions proactively close their positions before the delisting, calling this a precautionary measure to manage market risks and maintain trading order.Previously, Papertrade stated that there are currently no plans to allow external transfers of the PAPER token and will adjust short-term trading fees and the token issuance curve. The team believes that the PAPER perpetual contract could make the liquidity pool's solvency a target for short selling, and external short exposure may increase the profit potential for manipulation attacks, as these markets are not controlled by the protocol.Papertrade founder Jez also pointed out that due to the rapid progress of the perpetual contract market, PAPER is currently set to a non-transferable status to avoid potential attack risks and maintain the long-term healthy development of the protocol. Jez emphasized that PAPER represents users' rights to the protocol's earnings, and its long-term value depends on whether Papertrade can continue to attract traders. The team made this risk management choice based on the operational data from the first week after the protocol's launch.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) released a report on de-banking on Wednesday, pointing out that some banks had established "public and non-public policies" to restrict services to multiple industries, including oil and gas, tobacco, firearms, and digital assets. This report was issued based on an executive order signed by President Trump in August 2025, aimed at preventing what it calls "illegal de-banking" practices.The OCC stated that many institutions also imposed restrictions on digital asset businesses, involving issuers, exchanges, or management agencies, often citing financial crime considerations as justification. However, this 47-page report did not provide specific de-banking cases related to digital asset activities. The OCC noted that based on a review of nine large banks, it "could not fully quantify the overall scale of de-banking or alleged de-banking activities," with the agency's head, Jonathan Gould, primarily discussing claims of de-banking related to coal and firearms.Gould stated that these decisions were not based on financial risk; banks cited concerns about negative news, public protests, and the potential reputational consequences of supporting related industries. In November 2024, more than 30 executives from the technology and cryptocurrency industries claimed they were denied banking services, informally referring to it as "Operation Chokepoint 2." Trump's executive order in 2025 came after industry-related calls, following allegations that the Biden administration might influence financial institutions to cut off certain services to cryptocurrency companies.
