Big news! We just launched a new function that allows @TheTerminal users to analyze the US asset management industry in a fully customized fashion. I've personally been working towards doing this for 8 years and today's the day. Here's a sample of US fund market share since 2006

@Grayscale @bitwise Greg is saying (& I tend to agree) that anything positive for crypto coming from the SEC over last few weeks & going forward was and will be done via full commission vote bc they expect Crenshaw to use her 431 'stay order' powers for anything done via delegated authority

Looks like the 'Crenshaw theory' on the stay orders stopping @Grayscale's $GDLC and @Bitwise's $BITW from converting into ETFs wasn't a crazy theory after all.

On July 29, the SEC had 13 votes, all relating to crypto ETPs. - Scheduling comments on 431 Action against DGLC and Bit10 .- Several on options on IBIT, BITB and GBTC .- Approval of Bitwise BTC&ETH .- In-Kind Creates and Redeems . They all broke 3 in favor and 1 opposed.

Whatever intern made and posted this chart should be fired. The point being made is true but you don’t need to skew things and make them more ridiculous than they already are.

It is insane that in the richest country in the world, millions cannot afford a home and hundreds of thousands are homeless every night. We need major investments in affordable housing, not tax breaks for billionaires.

Update on the situation for @Grayscale’s $GDLC and @BitwiseInvest’s $BITW. At very least we should have a clearer idea of what’s going on before the end of the month.

SEC has scheduled comments for the Rule 431 review of Grayscale’s GDLC and Bitwise’s Bit10. As a reminder, both were approved because Bitcoin and Ether constitute >85% of holdings. I.e., non-controversial.

There's nothing in there about market cap/size requirements. Underlying market liquidity. Float% requirements. Nada. All about futures markets for now. At least until a spot crypto exchange joins the ISG. Right now only 'coinbase derivatives' is a member from pure crypto.

If the rule is finalized as-is, the SEC pseudo outsourced the decision making for which digital assets will be allowed in an ETF wrapper. The CFTC is the primary decider of what asset can have futures contracts & having futures is the primary requirement of this rule proposal

The SEC's "Listing Standards" for crypto ETPs is out via new exchange filing. BOTTOM LINE: Any coin that has futures tracking it for >6mo on Coinbase's derivatives exchange would be approved (below is list). It's about a dozen of the usual suspects, the same ones we had at 85% or

This is the Framework and Generic listing standards we’ve been looking for with regards to digital assets in an ETF wrapper. This is a pretty Big deal.

Today is kind of a big day. CBOE just filed for Generic Listing Standards for Crypto Asset ETPs. NYSE and NASDAQ will likely follow suit shortly. Thread. .
