Ex-Kraken legal head joins Pantera Capital as general partner

ETF Store 总裁 Nate Geraci 表示，贝莱德很可能会申请 Solana 和 XRP 交易所交易基金。 在 3 月 14 日 X 上的一篇文章中，Geraci 预测贝莱德不会允许竞争对手主导五大非稳定币资产中的两种 ETF。他预计 Solana (SOL) 很快就会提交申请，而 Ripple (XRP) 的申请可能会在美国证券交易委员会诉讼结束后提交。 我已准备好记录正式预测……贝莱德将申请 solana 和 xrp ETF。Solana 随时都有可能出现。SEC 诉讼结束后，想想 xrp。â Nate Geraci (@NateGeraci) 2025 年 3 月 14 日 机构对 Solana 和 XRP ETF 的需求可能很大。SEC 已经收到了多家资产管理公司的申请，其中包括 Grayscale、Bitwise、Franklin Templeton、VanEck、Canary Capital 和 21Shares。 根据摩根大通 1 月份与《财富》杂志分享的分析，根据比特币 (BTC) 和以太坊 (ETH) ETF 的采用率，Solana ETF 可能会在 6 到 12 个月内看到 30 亿至 60 亿美元的流入，而 XRP ETF 可能会看到 40 亿至 80 亿美元的流入。 你可能还喜欢：SEC postpones Grayscale XRP ETF decision, Franklin Templeton joins applicants Despite the growing interest in XRP ETFs, the regulatory status of XRP is still unknown. In 2020, Ripple Labs was sued by the SEC, allegedly because XRP was offered for sale as an unregistered security. A judge ruled in July 2023 that although institutional sales of XRP were considered unregistered securities offerings, the token isn’t necessarily a security when traded on secondary markets. However, the SEC has continued its legal battle, but the case could soon come to a resolution. According to FOX Business journalist Eleanor Terrett’s Mar. 12 post on X, the SEC and Ripple are now working toward a resolution. Settlement talks reportedly focus on adjusting penalties and aligning with recent SEC policy changes. 鉴于加密货币领域对监管透明度的要求越来越高，Terrett 指出，目前正在讨论的问题是，在新的 SEC 领导下，Ripple 是否仍应受到处罚。如果 XRP 被重新归类为商品，则可能会增加 ETF 获得批准的机会。 阅读更多：据报道，SEC 正在审理针对 Ripple 的案件，可能很快就会结束

On Apr. 13, 2025, a U.S. billionaire and founder of the biggest hedge fund, Bridgewater Associates, Ray Dalio, told NBC’s Meet the Press reporter that “right now we are at a decision-making point and very close to a recession.” Still, he is worried about “something worse than a recession.” He shared his view of a possible upcoming catastrophe and outlined what could be a remedy. Table of Contents“比经济衰退更糟糕”“关税只是一种症状。”达利欧提出了解决方案比特币能成为解决方案吗？ “比经济衰退更糟糕” The Meet the Press reporter asked Dalio to explain what he meant when he said that the tariff problem is a symptom of a greater problem. Dalio indicated several simultaneous issues at once. According to Dalio, these problems are the growing government debt that changes the American monetary order and the internal political conflict that changes the American political order.  On top of it, Dalio said that external conflicts, changing technologies, and natural disasters (like floods, pandemics, etc.) are the factors contributing to instability. He said that tariffs are carried out in a chaotic and “very disruptive” way, lacking quality negotiations, pragmatism, and stability. However, Dalio noted that the outcome would be clear in 90 days, probably due to a pause in tariffs applied by the Trump Administration. Read more:Bitcoin slips despite tariff pause, stock market crash resumes When asked about the probability of a recession, Dalio answered that the recession per se is not something terrible; it’s just two consecutive quarters of negative GDP, while the challenges that America is facing now are more profound, and they may change the domestic and monetary order in the U.S. Dalio compared the upcoming crisis with the 1930s, the Great Depression times.   According to Dalio, if the budget deficit is not regulated, the country will face a supply and demand problem for the U.S. debt. Potentially, it may break the monetary system down. If it happens combined with other challenges mentioned above, the country may slip into a more severe state than it had during the Great Depression years or the 2008 financial crisis. Dalio warned the listeners about the possible internal conflict, saying that it “is not the normal democracy as we know it.” Additionally, Dalio doesn’t exclude the possibility of America’s involvement in an international military conflict. The new crisis may disrupt the world order created in 1945. “Tariffs are only a symptom.” In the Meet The Press interview, Dalio didn’t provide any details on how he sees the future crisis. Days before this interview, Dalio shared a popular long X post titled “Don’t Make the Mistake of Thinking That What’s Now Happening is Mostly About Tariffs.” In the first lines of the post, Dalio stresses that tariffs are only a symptom of the bigger issue. The large debt is what sets a dangerous imbalance in the world’s economy.  以下是他对当前世界秩序不稳定性的看法： 旧的货币/经济秩序——像中国这样的国家以低成本制造产品，向美国人销售，并购买美国债务资产，而美国人则从像中国这样的国家借钱进行购买，最终积累巨额债务——必须改变。这种显然不可持续的局面更加难以为继，因为它们导致美国制造业衰退，不仅掏空了美国中产阶级的就业岗位，还迫使美国从这个日益被视为敌人的国家进口所需物资。 特朗普关税政策唯一可能带来的积极结果是，它将通过吸引制造商回流美国来刺激美国的技术发展。然而，由于其他因素，美国将经历几个颠覆性的过程。达利欧认为，旧体系无法生存，政府最终是选择轻松还是艰难地放弃它，取决于政府。 雷并没有错，但他只是没有自由地说出我能说的话。是的，关税只是次要问题。This isn’t about policy tweaks.It’s the controlled demolition of a dying global system built on cheap Chinese labor, Wall Street debt games, and Washington sellouts.Ray sees the Big…— blockbuster von doosh (@thedooosh) April 8, 2025 Despite the fact that Dalio is very critical of the way the tariffs were deployed, some of his commenters still found a way to see Trump’s policy as a remedy for the crisis described by Dalio. However, the billionaire offers his own vision of how to stop the crisis. 达利欧提出了解决方案 达利欧不仅预见了各种挑战，还概述了防止“比经济衰退更糟糕”的危机发生的方法。桥水基金创始人认为，国会应该做出“3%的承诺”，将预算赤字削减至3%。 尽管达利欧对当前的问题非常担忧，但他仍然相信有出路。达利欧认为，如果政府不尽快采取行动，赤字将升至7%，并引发其他负面因素，最终扰乱美国货币体系。 比特币能成为解决方案吗？ Dalio 对加密货币并不保守，他的投资组合中也持有一些。显然，他并不认为加密货币是普遍的避险资产，而是一个有趣的新资产类别，可以分散他的投资组合。Dalio 表示，他更喜欢黄金而不是加密货币。这两种资产今年都创下了历史新高。 Dalio’s reservations about Bitcoin include crypto’s transparency (the government knows what Dalio holds and can tax him) and volatility. According to Dalio, Bitcoin cannot be a reserve currency as it is rather a speculative asset.  Donald Trump and Michael Saylor explore Bitcoin’s potential to devour the U.S. national debt, which is the root of all evil, judging by what Dalio writes and says. If Trump and Saylor are right, Bitcoin may save America from a crisis that is worse than a recession. However, Larry Fink of BlackRock warns about the opposite: the U.S. debt may undermine America’s global leadership in crypto.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is expected to issue a decision soon on the proposed Litecoin exchange-traded fund filed by Canary Capital. As of May 5, the SEC’s designated deadline for a decision, Canary’s Capital application has not been delayed. Unlike other crypto-related filings which have seen multiple delays, this raises speculation about a potential early response. Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart noted the unusual timing in a May 5 post on X, highlighting that the SEC has already moved to delay several filings but not this one. “If any asset has a chance of early approval, it’s Litecoin,” he said, though he still considers a delay more likely. The @CanaryFunds Litecoin ETF filing is due for a decision (possibly a delay) by Monday 5/5. SEC went early & delayed a bunch of filings but not this. If any asset has a chance of early approval it's Litecoin IMO.

The SEC, under Acting Chairman Mark Uyeda officially acknowledged the filing on Jan. 29,  starting the formal review process. This step was a key turning point, as past attempts to launch ETFs tied to smaller cryptocurrencies had been discouraged under previous SEC leadership. As of May 5, Litecoin is trading at about $87, with slight increases of 0.9% over the previous day and almost 10% over the previous two weeks. The daily chart shows a steady recovery from April lows, with the price holding above the 50-day moving average at $82.87. The relative strength index is at 56, indicating space for upward momentum without being overbought, while the Bollinger Bands are widening, indicating rising volatility. Litecoin price analysis. Credit: crypto.news The volume is steady but moderate, showing ongoing interest as opposed to transient hype. Support levels are located close to $82 and $78, and a close above resistance at $90 may mark a strong upward trend reversal.  Although the outcome is still unknown, Litecoin’s market performance might improve if the ETF is approved. Traders are watching the SEC’s next move closely.  Read more:Analysts project high approval odds for pending crypto ETFs as SEC delays mount
