SEC’s Crypto Roadmap, Israel’s Digital Shekel, and BlackRock’s $3.4B Inflows

In today’s AI-powered episode, we explore major developments across crypto regulation, central bank digital currencies, institutional adoption, and regional tech updates from the UAE.

The SEC’s newly launched Crypto Task Force, led by Commissioner Hester Peirce, is hosting four major roundtable discussions at its Washington D.C. headquarters (also streamed on SEC.gov). These events aim to build a clearer regulatory path for the digital asset industry.

Roundtable Dates & Topics:

• April 11: Regulation for Crypto Trading

• April 25: Key Considerations for Crypto Custody

• May 12: Tokenization & Asset Movement Onchain

• June 6: DeFi and the American Spirit

More details: SEC Official Info

At KPMG’s Tel Aviv office, the Bank of Israel, along with researchers and industry stakeholders, presented findings from a study on the adoption potential of the Digital Shekel. Conducted with over 1,000 participants, the study found that more than half (51.57%) expressed a high level of interest in using a digital shekel.

This level of enthusiasm signals strong potential for national digital currency adoption in Israel. However, unlike Bitcoin and open blockchains, CBDCs are not open-source, permissionless, borderless, censorship-resistant, neutral, or publicly verifiable.

And no — CBDCs do not solve the double-spend problem. That breakthrough came from Bitcoin’s whitepaper by Satoshi Nakamoto.

Full report available via the Bank of Israel

BlackRock recorded $3.4 billion in digital asset inflows in the first quarter of 2025, bringing total assets under management for crypto products to $50.3 billion. The iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) was a major contributor.

Overall, iShares ETFs had a record-breaking quarter with $107 billion in inflows, showcasing continued institutional and retail interest in regulated crypto investment products.

The U.S. Senate has confirmed Paul Atkins as the new Chair of the SEC under President Trump’s administration. A long-time finance executive, Atkins emphasized that his top priority will be building a firm, rational, and principled regulatory framework for digital assets.

⚙️ The Strategic Development Fund has partnered with QuantCube Technology to expand AI-driven economic intelligence solutions across the UAE.

📊More than half of the respondents (51.57%) showed a high level of interest in using the digital shekel. 34% of the public expressed a very high level of interest, and 17% expressed medium-high interest. This finding indicates a high potential for the adoption of the digital shekel by the Israeli public. Official info via Bank of Israel here https://shorturl.at/uMAOg
