Odaily reports, according to monitoring by Lars Brünjes, Cardano ecosystem protocol Genius Yield is gradually winding down operations. To prevent user assets from being trapped, Genius Yield has developed an open-source web application called Genius Zero under the MIT license. Users can interact directly with the contracts in their browser to complete operations such as unstaking without relying on the Genius Yield backend. Reward claims still need to be completed through a co-signing service run by Lars Brünjes himself, and are limited to rewards already funded on-chain. The existing fees for DEX order books remain in effect, and modifications require signatures from three of the four founders, which have not yet been approved. Genius Yield reminds users never to enter their mnemonic phrase or private key on any website.

Odaily reports: Six blockchain organizations—Stellar Development Foundation, Hedera, Aptos Labs, Ava Labs, Cardano Foundation, and Chainlink Labs—have jointly submitted a comment letter to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), requesting that the definition of "Digital Commodity" and its non-security status be explicitly clarified in the main text of the proposed "Regulation Crypto Assets."It is understood that the SEC's regulatory interpretation released in March 2026 has established the classification of digital commodities, but the relevant definition currently appears only in the preamble of the proposed rules and has not yet been incorporated into the binding rule text. The organizations believe that formally codifying it into the rules would help reduce regulatory uncertainty and provide a more stable legal framework for public chain developers and ecosystem participants.

Odaily report: Crypto analyst Ali posted on X platform that Cardano (ADA)'s SuperTrend indicator has turned bearish, releasing a sell signal. The last time a similar signal appeared was on May 22, after which ADA's price retraced 46%. From a technical perspective, $0.21 is the current key support level and also the lower boundary of ADA's ascending channel. If the daily closing price falls below this level, it may indicate that the ascending channel has been breached, with the price potentially dropping further to $0.17.Ali further noted that although whales holding between 100 million and 1 billion ADA have maintained relatively stable positions over the past 10 days without showing a clear directional bias, a sell signal has now emerged. Going forward, focus should be on whether the $0.21 support level holds and whether whales begin to reduce their positions.

Odaily reports: CME is set to launch Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Uniswap (UNI) futures on October 19, with both products offering standard and micro contracts: BCH contracts will be sized at 250 and 25 tokens respectively, while UNI contracts will be sized at 10,000 and 1,000 tokens respectively. With the launch, CME's single-asset crypto futures will increase to 11; the previously launched Cardano, Chainlink, Stellar, Avalanche, and Sui futures have already surpassed $1 billion in notional trading volume this year.Giovanni Vicioso, CME's Global Head of Crypto Products, said that as the crypto market continues to mature, market participants need more regulated tools to manage price risk. As of publication, the relevant product pages still carry a "pending regulatory review" label. If UNI futures trade for a full six months as scheduled, it will satisfy the SEC's general listing standards requirement that the underlying futures must trade on a CFTC-regulated designated contract market for at least six months, providing a listing pathway for Bitwise's pending spot Uniswap ETF.

Odaily reports: In its weekly report on October 9, Intersect stated that the Cardano 2026 treasury reserve smart contract has so far managed 201.67 million ADA, 26.1 million USDCx, and 4.8 million USDM, meaning that part of the development budget is no longer directly dependent on the ADA price. Previously, on October 2, Intersect said that two budgets had been minted into the dollar stablecoin USDM through Moneta Digital and deposited into the smart contract: the governance and technical custody budget was 4.505955 million USDM, scheduled through July 29, 2027; and Se7en Labs' Daedalus wallet project budget was 316,253.88 USDM, scheduled through September 29, 2027. USDCx is fully backed by USDC through Circle's xReserve. Burning USDCx releases USDC on Ethereum, which usually takes about 2 to 4 hours; Circle, Input Output, and Midgard can all pause the bridge. USDM issued by Moneta can be redeemed directly for U.S. dollars only through accounts that have passed identity, anti-money laundering, and sanctions screening, and is currently available only to residents of 20 U.S. states.

Odaily News: The Cardano Foundation has announced the spin-off of its digital identity project Veridian into an independent company, with its shares tokenized based on CIP-0113, a newly launched programmable token standard on the Cardano blockchain.It is reported that Veridian becomes the first company to adopt Cardano's programmable token standard for equity tokenization. Frederik Gregaard, CEO of the Cardano Foundation and Chairman of Veridian, stated that the company has issued a total of 1 million shares, with the majority already tokenized. However, these tokenized shares are not currently available for public sale.Headquartered in Switzerland, Veridian aims to provide digital identity verification tools for governments, enterprises, and AI agents, helping users prove their identity and verify online behavior. The company is led by Thomas A. Mayfield, a blockchain engineer who previously oversaw decentralized trust and identity solutions at the Cardano Foundation, and plans to seek strategic investors in 2027. (CoinDesk)

Odaily News: The Cardano Foundation has introduced the CIP-0113 token standard, allowing issuers of regulated assets to restrict recipients based on predefined rules and to freeze, seize, or transfer token holdings. The standard enables issuers to implement such controls without requiring a hard fork of the Cardano network.CIP-0113 requires compliance checks to be executed on every transfer, including identity verification and sanctions list screening. Issuers can choose or customize rules and update them as regulatory requirements change; under the authorization mechanism, relevant parties can transfer tokens without the holder's consent.

Odaily星球日报讯 加密分析师 Ai 发文表示，Cardano（ADA）期货市场需求正在降温，未平仓合约过去一周下降 9%，从 19.9 亿美元降至 18.1 亿美元，表明交易员正在减少杠杆敞口。同时巨鲸似乎也在获利了结，自 9 月 20 日以来已减持约 9000 万枚 ADA，价值约 2250 万美元，进一步增加近期卖压。Ai 进一步指出，ADA 日线图于 9 月 26 日出现卖出信号，此后下跌 10%，回调可能尚未结束。日线图上的平行通道显示，0.24 美元是关键中部支撑位；若失守，ADA 可能进一步跌向通道下沿约 0.21 美元。若 0.21 美元守住，则可能成为下一买入机会，上方目标看向通道顶部约 0.28 美元。

Odaily News: Brazilian state-owned oil company Petrobras is testing the Cardano blockchain in two research projects to track environmental claims related to sustainable aviation fuel and partially renewable Diesel R.The aviation fuel project aims to prevent companies from double-counting the same emissions reductions; the Diesel R project will record fuel production, transportation, and usage stages to support emissions reporting. Both projects are still in the research phase, and no timeline for expanded deployment or the scale of fuel coverage has been disclosed. (CoinDesk)
