With Gary Gensler out as SEC Chair, the crypto industry celebrates. President Trump has named Commissioner Mark Uyeda as acting chair until Paul Atkins is confirmed by the Senate.

Arthur Hayes is skeptical about Donald Trump's plan to establish a U.S. Bitcoin reserve, questioning its practicality and priority among other government needs. Despite Trump's past interest in crypto, Hayes believes the Bitcoin reserve is unlikely to happen, as other political concerns will take precedence.

In Trump’s core campaign platform for 2024, policies such as immigration and tax cuts have no direct impact or little impact on China, while tariffs and trade policies have a direct impact on China.

Just before Trump's inauguration last night, outgoing President Joe Biden pulled out a remarkable move by issuing a preemptive pardon for his own family and and the prominent figures who were determined to grill Trump during his investigation where he was accused of initiating the Jan 6 Capital Hill riot.

Nobody expected that Trump would do two things on his first day, which were actually the same thing: he issued T coin, and then his wife issued M coin. What a perfect match. China has MT, and the United States has TM.

The Trump administration omitted cryptocurrency from its priority list and inaugural speech, triggering an over 30% drop in Trump’s meme coin. While optimism persists, concerns over long-term support are growing.

ETFs could see two major catalysts before the end of the year as they become available to more investors on more platforms, according to Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas. The first catalyst involves making them accessible to the asset management industry. Balchunas said that to his knowledge, they are not currently present on any significant offline platforms, which he noted manage approximately $7 trillion to $10 trillion in assets. Balchunas added that the ETF should be available on these platforms within the next few months. "It's like putting the product on the shelf at Whole Foods or a big box store. Just that exposure and availability helps," he said. Balchunas said that in addition to offline platforms, other large investment platforms like Raymond James and LPL can also help expand the reach of ETFs. He also noted that many smaller platforms are likely to follow suit. Balchunas said the second catalyst would be the launch of options trading on a Bitcoin ETF. He estimates that ETF-based options will be available in September. " "I think those two big catalysts are yet to come. Not to mention the halving event, which could cause prices to jump," he said. "Considering that they did so well without a push, without a big platform, without options, it's a small miracle." In addition to options, the analyst said banks are likely to develop structured products around ETFs, as they did with Ark Invest. Another vehicle would be the 2X Spot Bitcoin ETF, where the exchange is wrapped within the ETF, he added. One or two such leveraged ETFs are likely to gain a lot of traction, he said.

Adoption of Bitcoin spot ETFs has been slowed by due diligence processes at large trading platforms. According to Bloomberg, firms including LPL Financial Holdings, one of the largest independent broker-dealers in the United States, are currently reviewing recently approved Bitcoin spot ETFs to decide whether to offer the funds to nearly 19,000 independent financial advisors. The platform hosts $1.4 trillion in assets. "We just want to see how they work in the market," said Rob Pettman, vice president of wealth management solutions at LPL Financial. "Due diligence is a thorough analysis before making a decision." It involves carefully checking all the facts, understanding the risks and opportunities, and making sure everything is as it appears before investing money or resources. Currently, financial advisors using LPL can purchase Grayscale GBTC for their clients, as the trust was already available for purchase on the LPL platform prior to its conversion to an ETF. Nine other Bitcoin spot ETFs, including BlackRock’s IBIT and Fidelity’s FBTC, are under review. LPL Financial plans to complete due diligence on the Bitcoin ETF within three months. A key point in the assessment is that if an ETF underperforms and accumulates significant assets, it risks being shut down. (Cointelegraph)
