  • Exchange flows: Major Bitcoin outflows from OKX and Binance totaling 8,483 BTC contrasted with 1,808 BTC net inflows to Coinbase Pro, suggesting flight to US-regulated exchanges. {Medium Risk}13

Regulation/Law

  • SEC-CFTC harmonization: Joint roundtable held Sept 29 emphasized regulatory coordination, with both agencies prepared to consider “innovation exemptions” for DeFi protocols and perpetual contracts. New Spring 2025 regulatory agendas outline crypto-focused rulemakings. {High Risk}1415
