According to Bloomberg, data shows that the total open interest of perpetual contracts on mainstream trading platforms has decreased from $81 billion to about $67 billion over the past year, while the open interest of contracts linked to real-world assets (RWA) has increased from nearly zero to $9 billion, accounting for 14% of the total. This indicates that the enthusiasm for leveraged trading in the crypto market has not yet returned to previous levels, and the related trading infrastructure is gradually expanding to traditional assets such as stocks and commodities.During the same period, the open interest of Bitcoin perpetual contracts decreased by about $8 billion, Ethereum by about $5 billion, and other tokens collectively decreased by about $10 billion, with the growth of traditional asset contracts only partially offsetting the aforementioned declines.

The nominal trading volume in September was $3.43 billion, and it has exceeded $1 billion in the first week of October.The article states that Derive completed its V3 migration on October 6, 2026, abandoning its own chain and opting for zero-knowledge applications to settle directly on Ethereum, planning to become an options engine accessible to other applications. V3 introduces mutually isolated risk domains, including Prime covering BTC and ETH, an independent HYPE domain, an Alt domain covering SOL, XRP, ZEC, and DOGE, and an RWA domain covering tokenized gold.According to the article, Derive launched V2 in December 2023, replacing automated market makers with an order book as the main source of liquidity, and will launch portfolio margin in February 2024; Lyra will be renamed Derive in August 2024, and DRV will be launched in January 2025. In October 2025, FalconX became the publicly confirmed institutional market maker quoting on Derive, with collateral retained on its own side and positions represented on-chain in fxUSDC.

On the 11th, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates stated in a television interview that AI is the most dangerous technology ever invented by humanity, with risks exceeding those of cars, airplanes, and pharmaceuticals. He mentioned that the real threat at present is not AI going out of control, as that scenario is still years away from becoming a reality; rather, the more immediate threat is criminals using AI to carry out extortion, manipulate the stock market, and other crimes.Gates indicated that as criminals crack and bypass the security protections of the latest AI models, there will be a significant number of negative events in the cybersecurity field over the next year. He also mentioned concerns about biosecurity, stating that AI has significant implications for fields such as healthcare, but the potential risks still outweigh those of traditional industries that are already under strict regulation. Currently, there is no effective regulatory framework established globally, and within the next year, industry governance will have to move beyond mere self-regulation, while existing resource investments are far from sufficient.According to reports cited by the Financial Associated Press, Ken McCallum, the director of the UK's MI5, stated in the annual threat assessment that AI is exacerbating the cyber offense and defense game and may change the risk landscape of biological weapons. MI5 has announced the establishment of an AI threat assessment center. Additionally, reports indicate that executives from laboratories such as OpenAI and Anthropic have recently privately simulated disaster response plans, believing that a likely scenario involves cyberattacks impacting financial services, internet connectivity, or water and electricity supply.

Chainalysis noted that these three countries accounted for an increase in the proportion of Canada's cross-border stablecoin outflows from 10.9% the previous year to 19.4%.Eric Jardine, research director at Chainalysis, cited additional data provided to Cointelegraph, stating that crypto remittances from Canada to the Philippines alone reached $61.02 million, involving 73,564 transactions, representing year-on-year growth of 28% and 34.7%, respectively.The analysis counted Bitcoin and stablecoins that circulated between personal wallets with amounts exceeding $10,000. Chainalysis listed Canada as the largest peer-to-peer (P2P) crypto economy among the G7 countries and believes that the large overseas-born population and the high costs of traditional remittance services are potential driving factors for its increasing adoption.Morva Rohani, executive director of the Canadian Web3 Council, stated in the report that about 23% of Canada's population is born overseas, the highest proportion among the G7, with frequent use of remittance corridors to India, the Philippines, Nigeria, Pakistan, and China.The report also found that in June, stablecoins accounted for 44% of the Canadian dollar-denominated order book trading volume, up from 30% a year ago.

The founder of FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), has submitted a petition to the U.S. Supreme Court, requesting to overturn his fraud conviction and revoke the $11 billion forfeiture order. According to CNN, the petition was filed on September 10 local time, led by Alexandra A.E. Shapiro from the law firm Shapiro, Arato, Bach. SBF is currently serving a 25-year prison sentence.The petition raises two core legal issues: first, when can the trial court admit evidence showing whether victims suffered losses, in cases where the prosecution uses a "fraudulent inducement" theory, meaning that it is irrelevant whether the victims suffered economic losses; second, does the Eighth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution allow for forfeiture or other criminal fines that destroy the defendant's future livelihood prospects? The defense argues that the trial court allowed the prosecution to imply that clients suffered massive losses while prohibiting the defense from presenting evidence that clients have been compensated, which constitutes an error.The defense claims that although FTX and Alameda faced liquidity issues at one point, they always held sufficient assets to ultimately pay back investors and clients, and clients have now been repaid with both principal and interest. In 2023, SBF was convicted of multiple counts of fraud and money laundering, and in 2024, he was sentenced to 25 years in prison and ordered to forfeit $11 billion. In June of this year, a panel of the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the original ruling. The Supreme Court is expected to decide later this year whether to hear the case.
