Larry Fink’s statement on BlackRock Ether ETF Gaza Now sanctioned Kucoin outflow Tornado Cash update

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink stated that despite potential regulatory scrutiny if Ethereum’s ether is designated as a security by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), BlackRock could still consider listing an ETF that includes ether. Fink made these comments during an interview on Fox Business. He suggested that even if ether were classified as a security, BlackRock might proceed with an ETF for it, similar to their bitcoin ETF introduced Eight potential issuers, including BlackRock, have submitted filings with the SEC to bring a spot ether exchange-traded fund (ETF) to the market. The final decision by the regulator is due on 23rd May Info via

Gaza Now and its founder, Mustafa Ayash, were sanctioned by the U.S. and the U.K. for facilitating crypto donations to Hamas post an October 7 attack in Israel. Elliptic found Gaza Now received $21,000 in crypto donations. Most donations, per TRM Labs, are under $500. OFAC and the U.K.’s Office of Foreign Sanctions Implementation listed crypto addresses linked to Gaza Now’s fundraising. This follows sanctions against other entities supporting Hamas, like Buy Cash in October 2023.

Dutch prosecutors are seeking a 64-month jail sentence for Alexey Pertsev, the developer of Tornado Cash, in a money laundering trial. The verdict is expected on May 14 after a two-day trial held in the ‘S-Hertogenbosch court. Pertsev is accused of laundering $1.2 billion through Tornado Cash between July 9, 2019, and Aug. 10, 2022. He was initially jailed in the Netherlands in August 2022, shortly after Tornado Cash was blacklisted by the U.S. Treasury, which alleged links to the Lazarus Group, responsible for a $625 million hack of Axie Infinity’s Ronin Network. The trial’s outcome could have broader implications for how developers of open-source projects are treated in courts worldwide.

🎙️Check out Blockchain DXB Crypto & Coffee at 8, we share our commentary on the global crypto market

🔴 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has delayed its decision on proposed spot Ether (ETH) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) by Hashdex and ARK 21Shares. This decision, announced on March 19, came just before the “third deadline,” with final decisions for both ETF applications expected by late May. Specifically, ARK 21Shares will face a final decision on May 24, while Hashdex’s application deadline is set for on or before May 30. Analysts are sceptical about the approval prospects for the eight currently proposed Ether ETFs, expressing concerns about the lack of engagement between the SEC and the issuers. These ETFs come from various entities including BlackRock, Grayscale, Fidelity Investments, Invesco US Galaxy, VanEck, Hashdex, and Franklin Templeton. Info via Cointelegraph here https://lnkd.in/dFE67egS
❗ Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas lowered the Ether ETF approval odds from 50% to 35%.

🔴 Genesis Agrees to Pay $21 Million Penalty to Settle SEC Charges
❗ Genesis Global Capital has agreed to pay a $21 million civil penalty to settle charges with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over its involvement in the now-defunct Gemini Earn program. The settlement, formalized after a New York judge denied motions by Genesis and Gemini to stop the SEC case, follows bankruptcy filings by Genesis and its affiliates. The SEC will not receive any portion of the penalty until all other allowed claims are paid, as stated by the regulator. SEC Chair Gary Gensler emphasized the importance of enforcing securities laws in the crypto lending space through such settlements. Info here https://lnkd.in/dsj_cJvN

⚫ BlackRock has filed documents with the SEC to launch a tokenized asset fund, the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund. The fund’s size was not disclosed, but the minimum investment accepted is $100,000. Speculation suggests that the fund may be Ethereum-based, with stablecoin assets in the basket. Registered in the British Virgin Islands in 2023, the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund will act as a pooled investment fund. Official documents filed with Security Exchange Commission here https://lnkd.in/dDXURKap The news of the fund comes amid hopes that a spot Ethereum ETF may be approved

🔴 USDT — Delisted on OKX (EU) 🔻Grayscale’s GBTC sheds $642M in 24hrs🔻#BTC Flash Crash to $8.9K on BitMEX 🐶 Aichi Sells for $4.3 Million

🔴 OKX, has delisted Tether.to’s USDT stablecoin for users in the European Union and the European Economic Area (EEA). This move aligns with upcoming EU regulations requiring stablecoin issuers to be licensed electronic money institutions. OKX cited regulatory compliance and security concerns for the decision but emphasized a focus on expanding euro-denominated liquidity. Despite the delisting, EEA-based users can still deposit, withdraw, and trade USDT through over-the-counter (OTC) channels. Tether.to has not commented on the situation yet.

🔻 Grayscale Investments’s spot Bitcoin ETF experienced its largest outflow since its conversion on January 11, with over $640 million worth of Bitcoin exiting the fund on March 18. Fidelity’s Bitcoin ETF also saw reduced inflows, leading to a net outflow of $154.3 million for spot Bitcoin ETFs. Despite the recent outflows, analysts remain optimistic about the future of Bitcoin ETF flows, citing potential increases in investor interest. While some attribute Bitcoin’s recent price decline to slowing ETF flows, others point to factors such as the upcoming halving event and the Federal Reserve’s FOMC meeting. However, commentators highlight the remaining Bitcoin holdings in GBTC as a reason for long-term bullishness regarding ETF flows. Info via Farside Investors https://lnkd.in/dPJh43Ty

Despite the crash on BitMEX, the global average price of Bitcoin remained relatively stable around $67,400. BitMEX is investigating unusual activity on its BTC-USDT Spot Market involving large sell orders. However, they assure users that their derivative markets and funds are unaffected, and the platform is operating normally. nfo via CoinDesk here https://lnkd.in/dEd5S_cR

⬛ The Block is reporting that an unknown NFT artist raised over $10 million in one day for the Solana meme coin presale. The artist, pseudonymously known as Kero, launched the presale after polling their followers on X as to whether they should launch a coin on Solana in honour of joining the network https://lnkd.in/d-VyjDd6 After receiving 5,000 votes on the poll, Kero launched the presale by posting a wallet address, which rapidly accumulated funds eventually totalling nearly 55,000 SOL or about $10.4 million at current prices.
