Daily Updates from FSInsightOctober 15, 2021
  • At the time of writing, the overall crypto market is trading 1.0% higher over the prior 24 hours as Bitcoin and Ethereum trade 3.0% and 1.0% higher, respectively, over the same period. After dropping to a daily low of around $56,900 on Thursday evening, Bitcoin rallied to nearly $60,000 following the release of a Bloomberg report stating that a pair of futures-based Bitcoin ETFs would not face opposition from the SEC and should be approved next week. 
  • Bloomberg released a report on Thursday evening citing people familiar with the matter claiming that the SEC is unlikely to block the proposed futures-based Bitcoin ETF products by ProShares and Invesco set to launch next week. Barring any reversals from regulators, this would be a monumental occasion for both the ETF and crypto industries following a long fight to bring crypto products into traditional markets. Many in the investment products industry will now focus their attention on the ultimate ETF goal of bringing a spot-based product to market, a more cost-effective solution for consumers.
  • On Thursday, leading crypto exchange Coinbase released a proposal suggesting a new regulatory framework for digital assets. The company suggests that the US creates a digital-native federal regulator called an "MDA" that is solely dedicated to overseeing digital asset markets. This is the second day in a row that an active participant in the crypto market has publicly released suggestions for new regulatory frameworks, as investors at a16z laid out their vision for Web3 regulation on Wednesday.
