Equity Monday: Bitcoin ETFs, Carta’s latest mess, and let’s go to the Moon

11 minutes

Here’s what we got into on the show today:

Stocks and Crypto: Tech stocks aren’t moving too much this morning as the market digests the Boeing mess. In crypto-land, the price of bitcoin is up.

Bitcoin ETFs: And this is why. A rush of new filings this morning showed that bitcoin spot ETFs are targeting a very low-fee structure as they compete for investor dollars. These investment vehicles are expected to get approved this week, or at least some of them, so expect a little market turbulence ahead.

Carta is once again in trouble: Carta, which makes cap table software for startups, is in trouble after some of its sales people used internal information to try and broker trades without customer consent. Guess how well that is going over.

The ULA managed to get its rocket into the sky! This is great news for space launch competition. And for going back to the Moon.

And the GPT store is supposed to come this very week.

All that and more, we promise. Talk to you in two days!
