    Michael Saylor's Pivot, BlackRock's New ETP, and More – Week In Review

    Editor’s comment:

    This is clearly a pivotal moment in the Strategy story and maybe even in the Bitcoin story. Many have pointed out that Saylor did, in fact, imply the company wouldn’t sell its bitcoin. The 32 coins may have been minuscule, but were symbolically big enough to change sentiment and likely contribute to BTC’s revisiting of the $60,000 level.

    Editor’s comment:

    As part of his Project Crypto agenda, Selig argued that the old “decelerationist” approach treated innovation as a threat, and “resulted in regulation by enforcement and forced American innovators to flee the U.S. and build beyond our borders.”

    Editor’s comment:

    It seems like only yesterday that XRP was surging to $3.55 and the coin was one of the best-performing altcoins on the entire market. How fast things change in digital assets. In fairness to XRP, it has major staying power and one of the biggest communities. It’s also much much above its bear market consolidation range from 2024.

    Editor’s comment:

    The “tradification” of Bitcoin continues. According to earlier filings, the ETF is expected to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker BITA and will essentially be generating income via covered calls, or selling out-of-the-money call options on BTC. Gains on covered call strategies are great during bear markets and consolidation phases, but are limited or negative during sharp rallies.

    Editor’s comment:

    This is a somewhat controversial claim, given that TradFi can update its systems very quickly at someone’s direction, rather than Bitcoin’s situation, which requires the coordination of many different developers and holders with increasingly conflicting views. And in the event of an attack, TradFi banks often have the ability to simply freeze or reverse illicit transactions.
