CFTC Clears Polymarket for U.S. Operations

CFTC Clears Polymarket for U.S. Operations

The post CFTC Clears Polymarket for U.S. Operations appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Highlights Polymarket now cleared to operate in the U.S. after CFTC approval. New markets surged 44% in July, showing growing investor interest. Donald Trump Jr. joins advisory board, boosting political-fintech appeal. Polymarket Secures U.S. Approval: What It Means Polymarket, a leading prediction market platform, has received approval to enter the U.S. market following a ruling by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). CEO Shane Coplan announced on X (formerly Twitter) that the regulator had cleared the way for the platform’s U.S. launch. The CFTC, through its Market Oversight and Risk Management Branch, confirmed it would not initiate enforcement action against QCX, a registered contract market, or QC Clearing, a clearing organization. This decision covers specific accounting and reporting requirements related to swaps, including binary options and variable payout contracts. Coplan thanked the regulator’s employees for the efficiency of the process and emphasized that this approval is a major step in legalizing Polymarket’s activities. Growth and Activity on Polymarket Polymarket gained attention during the 2024 U.S. presidential election and has maintained momentum with a growing number of markets and partnerships. Activity surged in July 2025, with new markets exceeding 11,500 — an increase of 44% month-on-month, although still below January highs. Polymarket Trading Volume.

Political and Investment Influence In July, Donald Trump Jr. joined Polymarket’s advisory board and invested in the project. Experts say this move strengthens the platform’s position at the intersection of politics, finance, and technology, signaling growing influence and credibility.

BTC Holds Steady as Traders Turn to Ethereum for September Upside

BTC Holds Steady as Traders Turn to Ethereum for September Upside

The post BTC Holds Steady as Traders Turn to Ethereum for September Upside appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Good Morning, Asia. Here’s what’s making news in the markets: Welcome to Asia Morning Briefing, a daily summary of top stories during U.S. hours and an overview of market moves and analysis. For a detailed overview of U.S. markets, see CoinDesk’s Crypto Daybook Americas. Bitcoin is stuck in a holding pattern near $112,000, according to CoinDesk market data, but the bigger story onchain might be the divide emerging between how investors treat BTC and ETH heading into September. BTC is acting more like a macro hedge, while ETH is being positioned as the real vehicle for upside. That split reflects a mix of policy uncertainty and shifting trader flows. In a recent note, QCP Capital wrote that doubts about the Fed’s independence are keeping term premiums elevated, a setup that weakens the dollar and supports hedges like BTC and gold. But options desks and prediction markets show momentum gathering in ETH instead, where traders see the most potential for a breakout. Flowdesk reported muted implied volatility in BTC despite pullbacks, suggesting positioning rather than speculative bets. Skew remains negative, meaning puts are expensive, but that creates relative value in call structures. ETH risk reversals, meanwhile, have recovered from their recent selloff, indicating renewed demand for upside exposure. SOL options also saw increased activity, with flows skewed to the upside on growing sentiment around its ecosystem and corporate Digital Asset Treasury initiatives. Spot activity rotated into ETH beta names like AAVE and AERO, as well as SOL betas like RAY and DRIFT, showing breadth widening beyond majors. Prediction markets back this rotation theme. Polymarket sentiment reinforces the rotation. Traders expect BTC to stay capped near $120k, while ETH is given a strong chance of breaking $5,000 — a view consistent with its 20% monthly rally and recovering risk reversals. Traders are…

Spirit Airlines cuts flights in 12 cities as United, rivals circle

Spirit Airlines cuts flights in 12 cities as United, rivals circle

The post Spirit Airlines cuts flights in 12 cities as United, rivals circle appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A Spirit Airlines jet takes off above two United Airlines airplanes at Newark Liberty Airport on March 23, 2018 in Newark, New Jersey. Gary Hershorn | Getty Images Spirit Airlines is ending service in a host of U.S. cities this fall as it fights for survival. Its rivals, meanwhile, are circling its customers, and one is preparing for the possibility the budget travel icon shuts down altogether. United Airlines on Thursday put on sale a slew of new flights in cities where Spirit operates, like its home base of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Orlando, Florida, as well as Las Vegas, Houston and Chicago. “If Spirit suddenly goes out of business it will be incredibly disruptive, so we’re adding these flights to give their customers other options if they want or need them,” Patrick Quayle, United’s senior vice president of global network planning and alliances, said in a news release. The new service starts Jan. 6. Last week Frontier Airlines, the second-largest budget airline in the U.S. behind Spirit, announced 20 new routes that compete with Spirit. Meanwhile, in October, Spirit is exiting Albuquerque, New Mexico; Birmingham, Alabama; Boise, Idaho; Chattanooga, Tennessee; Columbia, South Carolina; Portland, Oregon; and Salt Lake City, as well as Oakland, San Diego, Sacramento and San Jose in California, the carrier told CNBC on Wednesday. It is also axing plans to start service in Macon, Georgia, on Oct. 16.  “We apologize to our Guests for any inconvenience this may cause and will reach out to those with affected reservations to notify them of their options, including a refund,” Spirit said in an emailed statement. Some of United’s additional flights include service between the New York area and Columbia and Chattanooga. United is also adding additional flights between Houston, Chicago and Los Angeles, as well as several additional…

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other altcoins are facing pullbacks amid continued profit booking in the broader crypto market. Traders are bracing for further selloffs ahead of $4.5 billion in crypto options expiry and key U.S. jobs data this week. BTC, ETH, XRP, and SOL prices slip amid liquidations of $115 million in long positions by traders.

Gaming May Unlock XRP Mass Adoption With XRPL Gamechain

Gaming May Unlock XRP Mass Adoption With XRPL Gamechain

The post Gaming May Unlock XRP Mass Adoption With XRPL Gamechain appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. B3’s gaming platform could unlock XRP adoption through mobile-first experiences. Xcade’s testnet launches with five games designed to drive mainstream crypto user onboarding. B3’s proven success with 8.5 million wallets now suggests potential for XRP growth. The question of whether gaming can drive mass cryptocurrency adoption takes center stage with B3’s launch of XRPL Gamechain, the first dedicated gaming ecosystem built on the XRP Ledger EVM sidechain. This partnership between consumer AppChain network B3 and XRPL Commons tests whether interactive entertainment can succeed where traditional financial applications have struggled. Gaming presents different advantages for cryptocurrency adoption that traditional DeFi applications lack. Mobile-first gaming experiences remove technical barriers that typically prevent mainstream users from engaging with blockchain technology. This potentially provides XRP with the user-friendly gateway it needs for widespread acceptance. B3’s Track Record Suggests Gaming Viability B3’s existing gaming ecosystem provides compelling evidence for gaming’s adoption potential. The platform has successfully onboarded over 8.5 million wallets and processed hundreds of millions of transactions across more than 100 games, including AAA titles. This user base shows that consumers will engage with blockchain technology when presented through familiar gaming interfaces. Xcade, the user-facing platform for XRPL Gamechain, launches today on testnet, featuring five playable titles designed for quick mobile sessions. The platform addresses a critical adoption challenge by allowing users to earn, spend, and interact with XRP through gameplay without requiring complex wallet setup or technical expertise. The gaming approach offers XRP holders direct utility beyond speculative trading. Users can complete challenges, earn XRP-based rewards, and access cross-game progression while maintaining on-chain liquidity. This creates sustained demand for the token through in-game economies and secondary markets. RLUSD Integration Provides Another Utility RLUSD integration as the preferred stablecoin across B3’s ecosystem adds another layer of utility. The stablecoin provides stable payment options for…
