U.S.-based lawyer said an upcoming SEC closed-door meeting is scheduled for Nov 2.  Johnsson said the meeting is significant given previous outcomes of similar meetings, especially as it concerns Bitcoin ETFs. The lawyer said a similar meeting happened just before the first Bitcoin ETF in the U.S. was approved. In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Scott Johnsson, a U.S.-based financial lawyer, raised speculations about a possible spot Bitcoin exchange-traded-fund approval by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) by November 2, 2023.  Notably, Johnsson posted that an upcoming closed-door meeting is scheduled for November 2. “I believe this is the first closed meeting of the Commissioners since the Grayscale appeal deadline expired and the mandate was delivered. The agenda includes resolving litigation claims and admin proceedings.” he tweeted. November 2 – I believe this is the first closed meeting of the Commissioners since Grayscale app

STRAX experienced a 24% spike in 24 hours, outshining major cryptocurrencies. Its seven-day performance records a 75% increase alongside a 122% 30-day growth. STRAX’s annual growth of 102.26% surpasses ETH and BNB. The leading cryptocurrencies in the market, like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Binance Coin (BNB), are beginning to slip back into the bearish zones as their 24-hour gains represent barely one percent gains to slightly negative growth. However, amid the potential bullish thread reversal for the large-cap coins, the native token of the Stratis, STRAX, has taken the crypto community by storm. According to CoinMarketCap data, STRAX recently engineered a significant bullish rally, putting its 24-hour gain over 24%.  In parallel, its seven-day cumulative performance is now up significantly by 75%.

Shiba Inu Poised To Destroy A Zero: Here's When

Image
The Shiba Inu network is setting its sights on a significant milestone in the world of crypto currencies: the eradication of a decimal point. In crypto lingo, “eliminating a zero” is the term used when a coin’s price increases tenfold, effectively shifting its decimal point to the right. While this journey may be lengthy, it is by no means unattainable, and the SHIB community is abuzz with anticipation. With Shiba Inu’s (SHIB) current price standing at $0.00000793, the community is optimistic about SHIB’s prospects for destroying another zero from its price point. To accomplish this feat and breach the $0.00001 level, SHIB would need to achieve a gain of roughly 25.5%. Notably, the last time SHIB traded above the $0.000001 mark was back in August, as per Binance’s data. Source Amidst this development, the SHIB market saw a recent decrease in trading volume. While some may find this worrisome, others interpret it as a positive signal. Reduced trading volume often signifies a decre

The Eastern Battle for the Location of Multinational Crypto Enterprises (Part One): A Comparative Analysis of Taxation and Regulation between Singapore and Hong Kong

Gary Gensler’s Bitcoin ETF position is ‘inconsistent’… says Gary Gensler

Image
During a panel at the 2019 MIT Bitcoin Expo, Gensler called out the securities regulator for its ‘inconsistent’ approach to spot Bitcoin ETF approvals. Gary Gensler once criticized the United States securities regulator for its “ inconsistent ” approach to spot Bitcoin (BTC) products, according to a resurfaced video of Gensler from 2019. The video clip, which has recently made the rounds again on social media, shows the pre-SEC Gensler discussing blockchain regulation at the 2019 MIT Bitcoin Expo in a fireside chat with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) commissioner Hester Peirce. “Bitcoin futures, and I think Ethereum futures and so forth, will exist and Bitcoin ETFs have not and that feels a little inconsistent to me [...]It feels a little inconsistent ,” Gensler said. “Even though the laws aren’t exactly the same, they’re quite similar,” he added. Meanwhile, on X (Twitter), the crypto community couldn’t help but highlight the contrast with Gensler’s views toward spot Bitco

Two US Senators Urge DoJ To Take ”Swift Action” Against Binance And Tether For Aiding Hamas

Two US Senators asked the US Department of Justice (DoJ) to take ”swift action” against Binance and Tether for aiding the militant group Hamas. “We strongly support swift action by the Department of Justice against Binance and Tether to choke off sources of funding to the terrorists currently targeting Israel,” wrote Lummis and Arkansas representative French Hill in an Oct. 26 letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland. Senators Want Binance ”Charging Decision” They urged the DoJ to conclude its investigation into Binance and to ”reach a charging decision” that reflects its “level of culpability” in illicit activities. When it comes to illicit finance, crypto is not the enemy – bad actors are. I sent a letter asking DOJ to finish its investigation and consider criminal charges against Binance and Tether after reports they served as intermediaries for Hamas and engaged in illicit activities. pic.twitter.com/M3KGNFkpWc — Senator Cynthia Lummis (@SenLummis) October 26, 2023 The l

Bloomberg analyst: BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF is now available on the Nasdaq trading clearing company.

In the realm of content creation, there are three essential elements to consider: “perplexity,” “burstiness,” and “predictability.” Perplexity gauges the intricacy of the text, while burstiness assesses the diversity of sentence structures. Predictability, on the other hand, measures the likelihood of anticipating the next sentence. Human writers tend to employ greater burstiness, juxtaposing lengthy and intricate sentences with shorter ones, resulting in a dynamic narrative. Conversely, AI-generated content often leans towards uniformity. Thus, for the content I’m about to request, I seek a substantial degree of perplexity and burstiness while minimizing predictability. Additionally, the content must be exclusively in English. Allow me to rephrase the following passage: Renowned exchange-traded fund analyst , Eric Balchunas, expressed that the recent inclusion of the iShares spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) is a signifi
