PANews reported on October 15th that, according to Caixin, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) sought public comment on a proposal on October 14th to support the asset management and fund industry's embrace of tokenization. The proposal provides a compliant path for registering mutual fund units on a distributed ledger (DLT), aiming to reduce costs and increase efficiency in the asset management industry through blockchain technology. According to the draft for public comment, the FCA's proposed "blueprint model" allows fund managers to migrate their fund unit registration system to a blockchain without changing the core regulatory framework. Fund custody, valuation, information disclosure, and investor protection requirements remain unchanged, but unit registration can be completed on a distributed ledger.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Vetle Lunde, head of research at K 33 Research, stated that while the rebound following last week's flash crash slowed on Tuesday, the current decline represents a "constructive correction" that will contribute to a healthy market reset. He noted that Bitcoin has stabilized after experiencing large-scale leveraged liquidations, and signs of a market bottom are gradually emerging.

Lunde stated in the report that leverage has been significantly reduced, and the BTC price range is attractive, suitable for gradually increasing spot positions. Meanwhile, favorable factors such as expectations of looser policies, rising institutional demand, and ETFs have combined to create a favorable market environment, but investors still need to remain patient.

PANews reported on October 15 that according to CoinDesk, Vetle Lunde, head of research at K33, pointed out that although the rebound after last week's flash crash lost momentum on Tuesday, the current decline is a constructive setup and Bitcoin has stabilized after a major leverage reset. In his report on Tuesday, he said that after the recent leverage liquidation, he is constructively optimistic about BTC, but he must remain patient. He pointed out that traders are recovering from forced selling and short-term liquidity may remain low, but such leverage liquidations often mean that the market has bottomed out. He also said: "The current price is very attractive and suitable for increasing BTC spot positions because leverage has been largely cleared. Coupled with a favorable background including expectations of loose policies, high institutional demand and ETF-related catalysts, the current situation is conducive to the gradual accumulation of Bitcoin."
