Hashdex Indicates Potential Launch of Crypto ETFs in 2024 On December 4th, the crypto asset management firm Hashdex unveiled its 2024 Crypto Investment Outlook report, forecasting the availability of spot Bitcoin and Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for U.S. investors by Q2 2024. In their analysis, Hashdex pointed to a series of indicators in 2023 signaling an imminent regulatory approval for crypto ETFs, notably referencing the high-profile application filing by BlackRock in June. With over a dozen asset managers awaiting approval for spot bitcoin ETF filings from the SEC, Hashdex emphasized the shift in narrative from debating the possibility ('if') to anticipating the timing ('when') of a spot bitcoin ETF in the U.S. Dramane Meite, Head of Product for the U.S. and Europe at Hashdex, highlighted this transformation, stating, "The exact timing of a spot bitcoin ETF in the U.S. remains unclear, but in 2023 the narrative around this product switched from a question of ‘if’ to a matter of ‘when’." Industry experts have suggested that the approval of spot crypto ETFs could potentially unlock trillions of dollars in new investments. Hashdex projected that spot ETFs could tap into a market exceeding $50 trillion in assets under management (AUM), encompassing U.S. retail, wealth management, financial advisors, direct retail, and private banks, surpassing the combined AUM of crypto ETP markets in Europe, Canada, and Brazil. Additionally, beyond facilitating expanded market access, Hashdex anticipated that ETF approvals would spur product innovation. They envisaged the emergence of specialized offerings tailored to different risk appetites, following the introduction of basic single-asset funds. Hashdex also highlighted the upcoming Bitcoin halving scheduled for April, which reduces the issuance rate of new Bitcoin. This event is seen as a potential catalyst fueling a bullish market trend in 2024, contributing to the firm's optimistic outlook on the growth trajectory of cryptocurrencies, despite the challenges experienced in 2022. #BinanceTournament

CFTC Official Suggests Binance Settlement Marks Potential Peak for U.S. Crypto Enforcement Cases In remarks made during the FT Crypto and Digital Assets Summit, a senior official from the United States regulatory body, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), indicated that enforcement actions targeting cryptocurrency entities might have reached a peak following the recent $4.3 billion settlement between Binance and U.S. authorities. This settlement, facilitated by the Justice Department, pertained to Binance's violations of U.S. anti-money laundering and sanctions regulations. According to CFTC Commissioner Kristin Johnson, the series of regulatory actions against cryptocurrency firms, including Binance, have served to establish regulatory parameters, providing a framework for governance within the market. Johnson highlighted that these cases serve as guiding principles, offering clarity on how companies in the cryptocurrency sphere should structure their operations. Expressing optimism that these enforcement actions might have culminated in a surge, Johnson emphasized the significance of these initial cases as cautionary examples for companies aspiring to navigate the cryptocurrency ecosystem effectively. She urged crypto firms to examine the specifics of the Binance settlement, as it showcases the standards of governance that regulatory bodies seek within the industry. Moreover, Johnson stressed the CFTC's intent to scrutinize vertically integrated cryptocurrency firms, emphasizing the necessity for enhanced disclosures from such entities that amalgamate various activities under a single organizational umbrella. In essence, Johnson emphasized the evolving regulatory landscape in the cryptocurrency sector, underscoring the significance of adherence to established governance principles and transparency in operations for sustained and compliant functioning within the market. #BinanceTournament #BRC20 #AltCoinSeason #JTO #ORDI

Bitcoin Maintains Near 19-Month High Despite Downturn in Global Assets Bitcoin, defying the downward trend in global markets, surged to a 19-month high, indicating its detachment from conventional assets. On Monday, the token rose by 5.8% to reach $42,000, maintaining proximity to that level as of Tuesday at 8 a.m. in New York. This ascent contrasts with the declines witnessed in global stocks and bonds since the beginning of the week. Sean Farrell, Head of Digital Asset Strategy at Fundstrat Global Advisors LLC, highlighted this divergence. Bitcoin's correlations with stocks and gold have diminished in 2023, contributing to its impressive 152% surge. Anticipation surrounding the potential approval of the first spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds in the US is a significant driver behind these gains, likely broadening the demand for the token. The 90-day correlation coefficient between Bitcoin and MSCI Inc.'s world shares index dropped to 0.18 from 0.60 earlier in the year. A similar trend is seen with the token's correlation with spot gold, nearly reducing to zero from 0.36. These figures indicate the decreasing synchrony between these assets. Regulation within the crypto industry is another factor driving market sentiment. Executives are optimistic that the stringent US crackdown on the sector might have subsided following recent cases involving prominent figures like Sam Bankman-Fried of FTX and Binance's fines for violations. Some technical indicators suggest a potential stretch in Bitcoin's rally, such as the 14-day relative strength index standing at 75, above the overbought level of 70. The speculation around the approval of US spot Bitcoin ETFs by the Securities & Exchange Commission and anticipation of Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts next year have bolstered investor confidence. Robinhood Markets Inc. The sustainability of Bitcoin's rally might hinge on the outcome of the decision regarding the spot ETF, as noted by research provider Kaiko. #BinanceTournament #BRC20 #AltCoinSeason #JTO #ORDI #bitcoin

University Collaboration Lacks Interest, According to Ethereum Team Lead Peter Szilagyi, Ethereum's team lead, has expressed disappointment in his alma mater's lack of enthusiasm for fostering collaboration opportunities with Ethereum (ETH), currently valued at $2,163. Through a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter), Szilagyi revealed his sense of a prevailing disinterest during his attempts to engage with his former university, where he delivered talks about Ethereum. He observed that students seemed more preoccupied with the price of Ethereum rather than the underlying project, which has experienced a 20.10% increase in the last 30 days, with the current price standing at $1,698.72 at the time of publication. Szilagyi disclosed that despite organizing a grant for nine students to participate in Devconnect, covering flights and accommodation, the students were unaware of the grant's funding source. "I haven't met the students myself, but someone supposedly has. They had no clue where the grant came from," he remarked. Despite these efforts, Szilagyi expressed frustration at the university's lack of response to his emails, leaving him uninformed about the outcomes. "Two [weeks] later, zero effs, not even a response," he declared. However, contrasting these experiences, recent reports indicate a rising demand for cryptocurrency and blockchain courses in universities. Major companies like Oracle, Amazon, and Google are actively hiring individuals with knowledge of crypto and blockchain to contribute to the development of blockchain products. Additionally, information systems students are increasingly expressing interest in learning about decentralized applications. In a notable development, France has inaugurated the Institute of Crypto-Assets, focused on supporting and conducting research related to blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. #BinanceTournament #safu #Web3Wallet #Web3Wallet #BTC

The Entrance Gateway to Bitcoin is Quieting Down, Indicates Swan Bitcoin CEO Swan Bitcoin's CEO, Cory Klippsten, has suggested that the advent of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) may usher in a more subdued era, moving away from the flashy marketing strategies that have characterized the cryptocurrency space since 2017. In a recent interview with Bloomberg on December 1, Klippsten emphasized that Bitcoin ETFs provide an alternative entry point into the market, especially at a time when the industry has been marked by well-funded promotional campaigns. Klippsten explained that ETFs operate as a form of IOU for Bitcoin, distinguishing them from their futures-based counterparts. Essentially, ETFs represent a paper manifestation of Bitcoin, but their issuance requires firms to secure investors by acquiring actual Bitcoin. He sees ETFs as an effective means for individuals to initially engage with Bitcoin, allowing them to explore the cryptocurrency further and potentially increase their holdings. Expressing optimism in line with other crypto analysts, Klippsten anticipates a favorable environment for Bitcoin ETF approval in January. He pointed to a potential approval window around January 8th, 9th, or 10th, citing signals from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and industry insiders. This perspective aligns with a recent prediction by Standard Chartered, a major bank, which forecasted a significant increase in Bitcoin's price by 165% in 2024 if ETFs are approved. Standard Chartered, on November 30, suggested that Bitcoin could reach six figures by the end of 2024. Geoff Kenrick, the bank's head of EM FX Research, West, and Crypto Research, noted the shift in forecasts and hinted at the possibility of further price hikes before April 2024. #BinanceTournament #Web3Wallet #BTC #safu
