PANews reported on December 12th that, according to CoinDesk, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) issued no-action letters on Thursday to the operators of prediction market platforms Polymarket, PredictIt, Gemini, and LedgerX/MIAX, announcing that these companies are not required to comply with certain record-keeping requirements as long as they meet other specific requirements, and that these companies may be able to clear contracts through third-party clearing members. In a press release, the CFTC stated that the no-action letters mean that the regulator will not take any enforcement action (i.e., will not bring lawsuits against these companies for violations) regarding their compliance with "certain record-keeping requirements related to swap transactions and failure to report data related to binary options trading to swap data repositories."

The CFTC stated, "No-action letters apply only to specific circumstances and are similar to those issued to designated contract markets and derivatives clearing organizations in other similar situations." Under a no-action letter, the issuer must: ensure that its contracts are adequately collateralized at all times; clear contracts only through its designated platform; publish all relevant data on its platform after contract execution; and comply with other specific swap transaction record requirements.

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
