Episode notes
Government Reopens, Regulators Resume Work
- The U.S. government resumed full operations after a record 43-day shutdown, enabling agencies to recall staff and restart policymaking.
- This restart should accelerate regulatory approvals and legislative momentum affecting crypto markets.
Regulatory Bottlenecks Likely To Clear
- Restored funding lets agencies like the SEC and CFTC resume oversight, which could unblock stalled ETF and public listing approvals.
- The Senate Agriculture Committee already moved to define CFTC oversight and scheduled confirmation steps, signaling faster crypto rulemaking.
ARK Invest Bought The Dip In Circle
- ARK Invest bought $30.5 million in Circle shares after the stock dropped 12%, adding 353,000 shares across three ETFs.
- Circle's Q3 net income tripled to $214 million, but investor worries about rate cuts drove the stock pullback to around $85 at market open.
