April 03, 2024MARKETS DAILY: Crypto Update |Bitcoin ETFs Trade $111 Billion and Assessing the Launch Timeline for Ethereum ETF
The latest price moves and insights with Helene Braun and Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise.

To get the show every day, follow the podcast here.
On "Markets Daily," CIO of Bitwise, Matt Hougan, joins Markets Daily with insights on the recent trends in crypto assets, focusing on Bitcoin and Ether, and how ETFs have influenced their trading volumes. It credits the success of Bitcoin ETFs to making Bitcoin more accessible to a broader investor base. Hougan also explores Bitcoin's volatility and its potential to reach new highs, while addressing the outflows from Grayscale's GBTC and the chance for reduced fees. Additionally, the impact of Fed Chair Jerome Powell's upcoming speech is considered less significant than the effects of ETF inflows and the Bitcoin halving event on Bitcoin's price.
Takeaways |
Bitcoin ETFs have contributed to increased trading volumes and accessibility of Bitcoin to a wider range of investors.
Bitcoin's volatility is seen as part of a fixed channel, and the expectation is that it will surpass its previous all-time high.
Outflows from Grayscale's GBTC are attributed to the availability of lower-cost products and the need for investors to do due diligence.
The introduction of an Ethereum ETF may be more beneficial after the market has had time to digest Bitcoin ETFs.
The flows into ETFs and the Bitcoin halving are expected to have a greater impact on Bitcoin's price than the actions of the Fed.

April 03, 2024UNCHAINED: The Real Reason Why the SEC Might Be Going After Ethereum
Why might the SEC investigate the Ethereum Foundation, even though the agency has previously affirmed that ETH is a commodity?
Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Fountain, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Castbox, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform.
On March 20, Fortune reported that the SEC was investigating the Ethereum Foundation and was looking for legal ways to label ETH as a security.
Sam Enzer, partner at Cahill Gordon & Reindel, and Greg Strong, partner at DLx Law joined Laura to discuss everything about the investigation and its implications.
The guests speculate about the hidden motivations behind the SEC's investigation and discuss the likelihood of the approval of spot Ether ETFs. They also discuss the recent ruling in the SEC vs Coinbase case, where the judge dismissed claims that Coinbase's wallet was acting as an unregistered brokerage, but allowed the rest of the suit to proceed.
Lastly, they touch on the devastating impact on the crypto industry if the SEC were to win a case alleging ETHer is a security and what they are looking out for in the next couple of weeks and months.
Show highlights:
Whether the investigation into the Ethereum Foundation is confirmed and why the SEC would do this
Why Sam Enzer believes that the SEC would be "utterly wrong and ridiculous" in alleging ETH is a security
Whether the number of people working on Ethereum could make the argument that it is decentralized
How would the SEC justify that ETH is a security and whether the Foundation is running Ethereum’s managerial efforts
Whether the SEC is looking for evidence to deny spot ether ETFs
Why SEC chair Gary Gensler has changed his mind on many of his previous stances regarding crypto assets and whether he's acting in good faith
The ongoing battle between the SEC and the CFTC and the need for Congress to regulate the industry
What the possible outcome of this investigation could be, and whether we'll have a court case soon
What the impact would be if ETH were classified a security
Whether Prometheum could launch its platform offering custody of ETH as a security before an SEC designation
Why Sam believes that the spot ETH ETFs will be denied on May 23rd
How the SEC has already made up its mind even before gathering the facts, according to Sam
Whether the recent judgment on Coinbase's case affects the potential case against the EF
Whether Ethereum transactions are security transactions, and the difference between primary and secondary sales
What to expect in terms of regulation and enforcement actions in the short term, given the number of cases at the moment
