📰 TOP NEWS
The SEC approves the conversion of Grayscale’s Digital Large Cap Fund into a multi-crypto ETF but has paused its launch pending new ETF standards
“The approval marks a landmark shift toward multi-asset crypto ETFs in the U.S., opening doors for diversified crypto exposure. The trading pause highlights the SEC’s cautious approach, ensuring a formal regulatory framework is in place.”
Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), the top public holder of Bitcoin with 597,325 BTC (~ $63.9 B), is nearing eligibility for inclusion in the S&P 500 after reporting a potential $11–$14 billion net income in Q2.
"Inclusion in the S&P 500 would validate Strategy’s unconventional Bitcoin-led business model, offering further mainstream legitimacy, but final approval is in the hands of the Index Committee.”
Ripple and the SEC have agreed to drop all appeals in their nearly five-year legal battle over XRP.
“This resolution offers regulatory clarity by affirming that XRP isn’t a security for secondary market trades. The $125 million institutional sales penalty remains intact.”
The Trump family's American Bitcoin Corp. filed an updated SEC S‑4 to merge with Gryphon Digital Mining, targeting a Nasdaq debut under ticker “ABTC”.
“This consolidates Trump-backed Bitcoin mining operations into a publicly traded entity, boosting institutional legitimacy and scale. However its success hinges on merger approval, market reception, and navigating political scrutiny.”
