    What the Bitcoin Halving and Bitcoin ETFs Mean for Supply and Demand

    The resounding success of spot Bitcoin ETFs has been a boon for the price of Bitcoin, and its timing could not have been better. Why? The age-old principle of supply and demand.  In April, Bitcoin will experience its next ‘halving’, an event that occurs programmatically on the Bitcoin blockchain roughly every four years. With this, Bitcoin rewards for miners, the individuals responsible for securing the Bitcoin network, will be cut in half as a way to keep inflation in check. For the newly minte...

    Bitcoin ETF Market Will Shrink Before It Expands, Says 21Shares President

    Bitcoin ETFs have been a huge success so far this year, but a yawning gap between the biggest issuers and the rest could mean a smaller field next year, according to 21Shares President Ophelia Snyder. “I think you’ll be having three to five winners in this market maximum,” Snyder told Decrypt.  Snyder said the last month since spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds launched, events in the market have played out in ways that were both expected and unexpected. The amount of investments into ETFs has b...

    'Think of It as Bitcoin’s IPO': BTC Will Enter New Price Discovery Post ETFs, Says Bitwise

    Bitcoin is poised to chart new territory following the success of recently approved exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and the price of BTC could eclipse $80,000 this year, says Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan. The early success of the Bitcoin ETFs has shattered records among similar products, sparking a continuous flow of funds into Bitcoin since mid-January. In an interview with Decrypt, Hougan said that Bitwise, which launched its BITB spot ETF alongside nine others on Jan. 10, expect...

    VanEck Cuts Bitcoin ETF Fees as Competition Among Issuers Intensifies

    VanEck is lowering its sponsor fee for its spot Bitcoin ETF just over a month after the digital asset manager launched the product, the latest in a string of cuts taken by issuers in a highly competitive market.  In a supplemental filing submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 15, VanEck said that it will be lowering its sponsor fee for its Bitcoin ETF, which trades under the HODL ticker, to 0.20% from its current rate of 0.25%. This cut will take effect on February 21....

    Big Bank, Broker Interest in Bitcoin Is 'Accelerating', Says ETF Issuer VanEck

    The appetite for Bitcoin among big financial institutions, including banks and brokerages, is "accelerating," as more of their clients show interest in Bitcoin ETFs, according to VanEck Head of Digital Assets Research Mathew Sigel. And as more institutions move closer to considering these offerings, the chances to see further adoption of this new asset class expands with it.  “We don’t see obstacles, we see opportunity,” Sigel said in an interview with Decrypt.  Bitcoin’s relationship with Wall...

    Bitcoin ETF 'FOMO Rally' Could Send Price to All-Time High: Bernstein

    Bitcoin is starting to look like the hot commodity on the market again after the launch of the much-anticipated spot Bitcoin ETFs. With so much enthusiasm surrounding these products, the question becomes how much more can “number go up.”  The answer is, of course, unknown, but that won’t stop analysts from speculating, including those at the $725 billion asset manager AllianceBernstein. They predict it’s possible Bitcoin will breach a new all-time high this year. “We think the best days of Bitco...

    Bitcoin ETF Issuers May Dwindle by End of Year, Says Valkyrie CIO

    Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETF) are close to their first month anniversary of operating, but there is a chance the field of ETFs may shrink by the end of the year, said Valkyrie Funds’ Chief Investment Officer Steven McClurg. McClurg predicts that of the ten issuers currently operating, only "about seven or eight" will be left standing. The reason, he tells Decrypt, is because the costs of running a spot ETF for Bitcoin may prove too onerous—especially amid a race to the bottom fee-cut...

    Sam Bankman-Fried's Defense Wants More Latitude In Questioning Witnesses

    Lawyers for disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) are moving to expand the scope of their questioning for the prosecution’s next round of witnesses after a bruising two weeks of testimony by members of the mogul’s inner circle. SBF's lawyers raised concerns with what they said were restrictions on their available lines of questioning with government witnesses that they say block them from making a case for their client. To correct this, the defense asked for more room to explore defense...

    Dismissing the most recent response from the Securities and Exchange Commission to its long-delayed petition on rulemaking, Coinbase is demanding once again that the agency take prompt action on a request it made last year for formal rules on which digital assets count as securities. If the SEC won’t do that, the exchange wants the courts to force the SEC to take action.  In a filing submitted to a Manhattan federal court on Friday, Coinbase accused the SEC of a pattern of "troubling intransigen...

    The Securities and Exchange Commission is arguing that cryptocurrencies lack any "innate or inherent value" as part of their case against Coinbase in federal court—prompting eye rolls from Coinbase and crypto watchers. In response to a motion to throw out the agency’s lawsuit filed over the summer, the SEC petitioned a judge to reject Coinbase’s stance that cryptocurrency trading does not count as an investment contract between parties. It justified its position by repeating its position that fe...

    Sam Bankman-Fried and his legal team cannot blame FTX company lawyers for allegedly reviewing and approving decisions that he made as CEO, according to a weekend ruling by the judge presiding over the disgraced founder's upcoming criminal trial—at least not at first.  In a 10-page memo released on Sunday, Judge Lewis Kaplan ruled that any “advice of counsel” defense cannot be included in the defense’s opening remarks, granting a request made by the prosecution to block such a move.

    Nearly a year after cryptocurrency exchange FTX went down in flames, the trial of its disgraced founder Sam Bankman-Fried is set to begin in a Manhattan federal court on Tuesday. SBF—a once-feted wunderkind who often cast himself as an embodiment of responsible stewardship in crypto—faces a litany of charges, including money laundering, wire fraud, and illegal political donations. If convicted, SBF faces potentially decades in prison for his role in the implosion of FTX, forcibly removed from th...
