Tether

Three crypto policy moves from 8 October 2026: an ESMA opinion telling MiCA-authorised firms to stop services in non-compliant stablecoins, Senator Blumenthal's letter asking Cantor Fitzgerald about its Tether ties, and a Greek draft bill proposing a 10% crypto capital-gains tax. What each one does, and what it doesn't.

Sui reports 40.6 million transactions per second through off-chain "tunnels", not its base chain, and says Hashi, its Bitcoin collateral layer, goes live this month. Polygon's payments stack adds TRON's USDT. Lido contributors propose a security-first lending market that still needs a DAO vote. What each claim does and does not mean.

Kazakhstan’s central bank signs an exploratory MoU with Tether; Binance accepts four tokenised securities as margin collateral at a 50% ratio; GSR commits $100m to Hare’s onchain vaults; Orca and Loopscale merge as Formation. What is confirmed, what is only planned, and what each step does not prove.
