Odaily reports that according to Lookonchain monitoring, ZEC broke through $1,600. An address on Aster DEX went long on 140 ZEC with 50x leverage, with a position value of $224,000. It currently has unrealized profits of $70,700, representing a 1,581% return and more than 15x in gains.

Odaily reports: a16z and the DeFi Education Fund jointly submitted a proposal to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Commissioner Hester Peirce, recommending the establishment of a safe harbor rule that creates a "rebuttable presumption" that decentralized exchange (DEX) protocols and their front-end interfaces do not constitute "exchanges" as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. On the same day, a16z submitted a separate letter calling on the SEC to establish a registration regime for centralized crypto trading platforms, modeled after the 1998 Alternative Trading System (ATS) rules. Both letters were dated September 14, and three days later, the SEC issued an "innovation exemption" for tokenized equity trading venues.

Odaily News: Perpetual contract DEX Velocity has lifted its whitelist restrictions, and the Beta version is now open to all users. The platform supports wBTC, wETH, SOL, and USDT as collateral assets for contract trading under the same account, with some contracts offering up to 20x leverage, and trades settled on-chain in USDT.

According to Lookonchain monitoring, an address opened a 10x leveraged long position on 236 BTC on Aster DEX, with current unrealized profit of $726,000.

Odaily Report: The Aster DEX interface has added support for POLYMARKET. Previously, Polymarket recently brought in several executives from Amazon, Uber, NYSE, Coinbase, and Robinhood, and newly created positions including CFO and compliance roles, while also advancing its U.S. business and making adjustments to its trading infrastructure.

Odaily News: A commit titled "Binary options support" has recently appeared in the codebase of decentralized orderbook exchange platform Lighter, indicating that its ZK Circuits may have begun supporting binary outcome markets (prediction markets). According to the code, each market has a settlement cap (typically 100 for prediction markets), with share prices trading between 0 and that cap, and the market ultimately settling at either 0 or the cap based on the outcome. The mechanism uses full USDC collateralization and does not support leveraged trading, so there is no risk of forced liquidation or liquidation.Additionally, there are two notable design elements in Lighter's implementation:First, the Circuits support continuous market settlement, meaning market outcomes can settle at any value between 0 and the cap. This means that in addition to traditional "yes/no" events, it can also support contracts based on actual measured data. For example, a liquidation-free prediction market based on IPO valuation ranges could potentially be launched in the future: users bet on a company's IPO pricing outcome, and the final payout is calculated linearly based on where the actual valuation falls within the range, with minimum and maximum payouts set at the boundaries.Second, the market creation and settlement mechanism. According to analysis, Lighter may introduce a "market operator" model, allowing whitelisted operators to create, manage, and be responsible for market settlement, similar to the HIP-3 deployment model. This design suggests that Lighter's prediction markets may not be entirely created uniformly by the platform, but rather expanded through authorized operators to broaden market categories.

Odaily reports: Solana founder Toly posted on X, stating: "AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) is still a long way off. As for my test project Percolator, if I were writing the code full-time myself, it would probably already be launched by now. The area where AI performs best is in the design and specification research phase, as well as fuzz testing to find bugs. If that approach were adopted, code quality would likely be better. But the number of good products actually brought to market today is unlikely to be greater than before the era of large models."Previously, Toly announced last year that he would launch Percolator, a next-generation perpetual futures decentralized exchange built on Solana. It uses a sharded order book, executes at speeds comparable to centralized exchanges (CEX), and is fully open-source.
