Odaily News: Nadex, the U.S. regulated derivatives trading platform under Crypto.com, has completed its registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and can now offer securities futures products through OG.com. The registration took effect on September 14, and the SEC confirmed the registration filing on September 16. CEO Kris Marszalek stated that this registration authorizes the company to introduce single-stock futures to the U.S. market, and the company is also working with the SEC and CFTC to push for offering single-stock perpetual contracts, i.e., futures contracts with no fixed expiration date, in the United States.U.S. trading platforms are racing to establish a foothold in stock perpetual futures. Coinbase also submitted a similar registration notice earlier this month, seeking to list stock perpetual contracts in the United States. Its Chief Policy Officer Faryar Shirzad said the plan still requires CFTC approval. (TheBlock)

Odaily News: According to an announcement on the Moscow Exchange's official website, the Moscow Exchange will officially launch perpetual futures contracts on five cryptocurrency indices—Bitcoin (BTCUSDF), Ethereum (ETHUSDF), Solana (SOLUSDF), XRP (XRPUSDF), and TRON (TRXUSDF)—on September 22, 2026.The new contracts are settled contracts that do not involve physical delivery, are denominated in US dollars and settled in rubles, and are available exclusively to qualified investors.

Odaily News: Bitcoin News posted on X platform that after the CFTC approved Kalshi's Bitcoin perpetual contracts as futures products, uncertainty remains over how traders should report gains to the IRS. If the product is recognized as a regulated futures contract under Section 1256 of the U.S. tax code, the related gains are typically treated as 60% long-term capital gains and 40% short-term capital gains, regardless of the holding period. CME believes that Kalshi's perpetual contracts are actually swaps, and swaps are explicitly outside the scope of Section 1256. The CFTC's classification supports the view that they are futures products, but it is not binding on the IRS. Until the IRS, U.S. Congress, or courts directly address Bitcoin perpetual contracts, their tax treatment remains undetermined.

Odaily News: Markets have increased their bets on a Federal Reserve rate hike at next week's meeting. The first key inflation report released this week showed that U.S. producer prices rose 5.4% in the 12 months through August. Before the report was released, the market expected about a 65% probability that the Fed would raise rates by 25 basis points at its September 15-16 meeting. According to the price of federal funds futures contracts on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), the market now expects that probability to have risen to about 70%.

Odaily News: Federal Reserve officials have signaled that they are prepared to raise interest rates if inflation does not improve soon. However, they may find that their primary policy tool is unlikely to have much suppressive effect against some of the factors currently driving prices higher. According to futures contracts, investors currently estimate the probability of a Fed rate hike at the September 15-16 meeting at approximately 60%.Stephanie Roth, chief economist at Wolfe Research, said, "The key factors pushing inflation above trend levels are the Iran war, tariffs, and chip shortages. Even if the Fed raises rates once or twice, it is unlikely to fundamentally change this backdrop."

Odaily News: HyperliquidNews stated on the X platform that the relatively high funding rates for WTIOIL and BRENTOIL are normal, resulting from rollover arrangements, as the oracle is based on futures contracts with expiration dates. The same applies to COPPER and NATGAS.

Odaily News: Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Group launched a new WTI crude oil futures contract on Sunday, with each contract representing only 10 barrels of crude oil. At current prices, the trading size is approximately $860. In comparison, CME's previous micro WTI contract and standard contract corresponded to 100 barrels and 1,000 barrels, respectively.This change further opens up the crude oil futures market—previously requiring significant capital to participate—to individual investors. Online brokerage platforms, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and small-sized futures contracts have also been continuously lowering the barriers for retail investors to enter this market, which is valued at around $3 trillion.However, increased retail participation does not mean individual investors can sway crude oil prices the way they might in certain individual stock markets. Professional institutions and commercial capital still hold larger trading volumes and play a dominant role in the benchmark price formation process. CME's launch of the 10-barrel WTI crude oil contract primarily changes how retail investors participate in the crude oil market, rather than being a core force determining oil prices. Production, consumption, inventories, and geopolitics will continue to play the primary roles in crude oil pricing. (CNBC)
