Bits + Bips: Is This the Real Reason the SEC Approved the Ethereum ETFs? - Ep. 656

Hallgatás az alkalmazásban
In this episode of Bits + Bips, hosts James Seyffart, Alex Kruger, and Joe McCann, along with guest Hal Press, founder of North Rock Digital, dive into the intricate challenges of pitching the ETH spot ETF to traditional finance and the Federal Reserve’s anticipated next steps. They discuss why Biden vetoed the repeal of SAB 121, and why that veto lends credence to an alternative theory as to why the SEC approved Ethereum ETFs.
Also, they talk about why the spot ETH ETFs are already turning out to be different from the Bitcoin ETFs, Hong Kong's (and perhaps China’s?) crypto ambitions, recent U.S. macroeconomic indicators, and whether or not Roaring Kitty’s recent antics with GME stock are illegal—and how he’s impacting memecoins.
Show highlights:

Why Biden vetoed the repeal of SAB 121 and whether it was priced in

The recent political change around crypto and the surprise Gen Z celebrity who could swing the U.S. presidential election
