According to The Wall Street Journal, Kalshi plans to seek regulatory approval to offer regulated perpetual futures linked to stocks such as Tesla, Apple, and Nvidia.Tesla (TSLA.O): Model Y Performance All-Wheel Drive version starts at 369,000 yuan.On September 11th, Futures News reported that data released by the China Futures Association on September 10th showed that, calculated unilaterally, the national futures market saw a trading volume of 1.087 billion lots and a turnover of 85.04 trillion yuan in August, representing year-on-year increases of 29.05% and 30.67%, respectively. Looking at the first eight months, the national futures markets cumulative trading volume reached 7.194 billion lots, with a cumulative turnover of 654.02 trillion yuan, representing year-on-year increases of 20.36% and 37.37%, respectively. 1. Wei Gang, chief economist at Hengtai Futures, told reporters that the August futures market saw a "simultaneous increase in both volume and price," mainly driven by three factors: First, both volume and price increased in non-ferrous metals and precious metals. Second, the crude oil and energy sectors saw a significant increase in trading volume due to geopolitical factors. Third, the chemical and agricultural futures sectors showed a strong trend and high trading activity due to cost transmission and supply-demand disturbances. Hongyuan Futures analyst Wang Jiangnan stated that, judging from the performance of various commodities, commodity futures were generally strong in August, with most major contracts closing higher. Coking coal saw a cumulative increase of over 45% in August, the energy and chemical sector generally rose, and the precious metals sector also strengthened. Looking ahead to September, Wang Jiangnan believes that the Federal Reserves monetary policy expectations are a key macroeconomic variable, with the probability of a September rate hike rising to 60%, which will suppress the performance of precious metals and risk assets. The ferrous metals sector is entering its traditional peak season, and actual demand will be the main factor determining whether the sectors performance can be sustained. Non-ferrous metals may exhibit a pattern of "structural recovery and product differentiation," maintaining high-level fluctuations in the short term. Wei Gang added that, in addition to the Federal Reserves monetary policy path, the evolution of geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East is also an important factor affecting futures market trading.On September 11th, Edmond de Rothschild Asset Management believes that the recent rise in the yen signals a broader correction of the currencys long-term undervaluation. Michael Nizad, the firms head of strategy, wrote that for many years, the yens movements have been primarily driven by the US-Japan interest rate differential and its role as a funding currency for global carry trades; now, the yen is beginning to trade more based on its own fundamentals. He wrote, "The yen may be beginning to trade as a fundamentally-driven currency again. Any pullbacks in yen cross rates should increasingly be seen as opportunities to rebuild or increase long yen positions."The Euro Stoxx 50 index fell 0.3%, German DAX futures fell 0.3%, and UK FTSE futures fell 0.1%.

California’s DFPI Investigating Multiple Crypto Lending Companies

The California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI), which regulates the activities of state-licensed financial institutions such as banks and premium finance businesses, has announced that it is investigating whether businesses that suspended customer withdrawals and transfers broke any laws.


More specifically, the government is looking at a number of cryptocurrency businesses with U.S. headquarters after some reputable lenders permanently stopped allowing transfers and withdrawals between user accounts.

Accounts for crypto assets that pay interest

In particular, the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation is concentrating on "multiple companies" that provide customers with interest-bearing crypto asset accounts, also known as crypto-interest accounts, as well as service providers who "may not have adequately disclosed risks customers face when they deposit crypto-assets onto [lenders'] platforms."


To ascertain if they are breaking any laws that fall within the purview of the Department is the main goal of the inquiry.


The DFPI previously emphasized that providers of crypto-interest accounts are not subject to the same regulations and safeguards as banks and credit unions, which is particularly concerning in light of some platforms' restrictions on customers' ability to withdraw money from and transfer funds among their accounts.


Because of this, the agency has advised customers to proceed with "great care" before answering any inquiries about investments or financial services.


Also pointing to two cease and desist orders it recently sent to BlockFi and Voyager Digital to suspend their sales in California, DFPI has shown how certain crypto-interest account providers have been promoting unregistered securities.

securing customer property

Following Voyager Digital, the second well-known cryptocurrency business to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in recent weeks, DFPI made its statement. The Toronto-based company calculates that it has between $1 and $10 billion in assets, over 100,000 creditors, and liabilities of the same amount.


According to Voyager Digital, the action is a part of a "Plan of Reorganization" that intends to provide customers access to their accounts once again. Customers will have the option of receiving cryptocurrency, money recovered from Three Arrows Capital, common shares in the newly reorganized business, and Voyager tokens.


Due to worries about liquidity, Celsius (CEL) has stopped withdrawals and transfers since June 12. There are rumors that the management of the firm has been discussing Chapter 11 bankruptcy with attorneys.


As it faces with the potential of bankruptcy, the business is presently seeking restructuring guidance from the advising firm Alvarez & Marsal.


Additionally, the turbulent market circumstances last week caused the Singapore-based cryptocurrency platform Vauld to stop operations. The business instantly halted all trading, deposits, and withdrawals, and said that, up until further notice, it would only accept client deposits for its collateralized loans product.


Currently, numerous platforms have had client money frozen for many weeks while the future of their depositors' assets is still unknown.
