Welcome to Stock Market Today, your market briefing with actionable insights on stocks, bonds, crypto, and the events moving markets. Let's get into it. Bitcoin trades at $83,722 this morning, holding in the $82,000 to $85,000 range. Ethereum sits at $2,692.

Treasury yields remain the dominant macro force, the 10-year near 5.28% and the 30-year at 5.62% levels not seen since 2002 UK regulators opened the authorization gateway September 30th. Crypto firms now have until February 28th, 2027 to apply for licenses. Over 60 firms already registered under anti-money laundering rules may have an edge. The CFTC submitted two rules to the White House targeting prediction markets. First rule classifies event contracts as swaps under CFTC jurisdiction. Second rule excludes casino-style gambling from swap definitions. This counters recent federal court rulings that sided with state gambling regulators over platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket. DogeOS launched a public testnet September 30th, enabling Ethereum-compatible DeFi apps for Dogecoin. The network plans to tie security to Dogecoin miners. Dogecoin trades at 9.45 cents. OpenUSD launched across Ethereum, Solana, Base and Tempo, with backing from Coinbase, Mastercard, Shopify, Stripe and Visa. The stablecoin distributes equity to partners based on contributions. The five founding partners committed over $1 billion for liquidity in a market dominated by Tether's $143 billion and Circle's $74 billion. Cardano want to deal with Brasils Petrobras to track sustainable aviation fuel using blockchain. Cardano trades at $0.2476.

The Federal Reserve finalized stress test transparency changes September 30th. Starting in 2028, banks will see capital buffer requirements averaged over two years, cutting volatility by approximately 50%.

Key levels, Bitcoin support at $82,000, resistance at $86,000, non-farm payrolls hit tomorrow, forecasts expect 90,000 jobs added with unemployment holding at 4.1%.
