Investment bank TD Cowen's Washington research group Managing Director Jaret Seiberg stated in a report released on Monday that the proposed rulemaking advance notice issued by the CFTC last week is a positive step for crypto platforms, but the agency may not complete the rulemaking until early 2028. As the 2028 election cycle approaches, there is a risk that the rule may ultimately not be implemented. Seiberg noted, "Time is running out," and expects that the CFTC will not issue proposals until the end of the first quarter or early second quarter of 2027, with final rules possibly not being finalized until early 2028.Last week, the CFTC proposed a federal regulatory framework for crypto platforms but avoided direct jurisdiction over spot market trading. According to Seiberg, the proposed rules will require platforms to maintain "reserve proof audits" and grant the CFTC jurisdiction over state-licensed platforms. Previously, the U.S. Senate failed to pass legislation that would grant the CFTC broad powers over spot crypto trading in a preliminary vote, leading the CFTC and SEC to intervene in regulating the crypto industry, including the introduction of long-awaited innovation exemptions, but both agencies lack the permanence that legislation could provide.Seiberg also pointed out that if the CFTC decides to expedite the rulemaking process, it may actually increase the risk of court intervention. He stated that speeding up this process would raise the risk of judges blocking the rule on procedural grounds, and even if the agency is cautious enough, legal challenges could extend beyond 2028.

Coinbase co-founder and CEO Brian Armstrong stated: The company has fine-tuned the open-source weight model Qwen3.5-9B using internal proprietary data, which performs better than cutting-edge models in the specific task of fraud prevention, while also being more cost-effective and faster.Armstrong mentioned: Cutting-edge models are excellent general models, but companies will increasingly use specialized models for narrower tasks, which can operate independently or collaborate with teams. He believes this pattern will become more prevalent within the company.He also noted that Coinbase is making it easier for employees to fine-tune models internally and providing relevant skills in internal tools, with example instructions for fine-tuning Qwen for payment risk audits. He anticipates that some backend services may be completely replaced by this new architecture.
