Pre-Show ETF hype fading? End of an 8 day approval window Bloomberg's James Seyffart says still a 90% chance approval by Jan 10th 2024. James Seyffart on X (https://twitter.com/JSeyff/status/1724469793422508533) "Okay, we're nearing in on deadline dates for 3 spot #Bitcoin ETF applications. I want to get ahead of it because there's a pretty good chance we'll see delay orders from the SEC. Delays WOULD NOT change anything about our views & 90% odds for 19b-4 approval by Jan 10, 2024 Bitcoin News on X (https://twitter.com/BitcoinNewsCom/status/1725566270488170920) JUST IN: @EricBalchunas of Bloomberg reports that the 🇺🇸 SEC is advising spot #Bitcoin ETF issuers that they prefer cash creations over in-kind creations for these ETFs. Cash "creates" mean the issuer would transact in cash instead of using #Bitcoin directly. The SEC prefers cash creates because broker-dealers can't directly handle Bitcoin. This move is seen as a positive step indicating progress in the approval process, despite the potential need for adjustments by the ETF filers. Bitcoin Archive on X (https://twitter.com/BTC_Archive/status/1724471921734013287) "CNBC host questions why the SEC hasn't approved a spot #Bitcoin ETF because Chairman Gary Gensler certainly understands Bitcoin. “He taught Bitcoin at MIT, he understands it…there has to be something else."

That is the “oh shit” moment. The yield curve un-inverts and then steepens (long-end rates higher than short-end rates), but it will do so while yields are generally falling. This is called a “bull steepener” and is the classic way the yield curve has moved in modern financial history. > > Right now, there is no US recession and no financial calamity. To the intellectually dishonest TradFi cheerleaders like Paul Krugman, the regional banking crisis doesn’t count; they will need to see a firm like Bank of America go bust to acknowledge the deep rot in the US banking system. Therefore, the market, aka bond vigilantes, expect the Fed to continue raising rates to fight inflation. But the Fed said rate hikes are paused, therefore the bull steepening scenario won’t occur. Then why should the vigilantes continue holding long-end bonds? They won’t, and they will express their view by selling long-end bonds at the margin. Solution is for US Gov to cut spending and increase income, will exacerbate recession This is completely impossible the US Secret service spends ~$3bn/year just protecting the president (https://www.usaspending.gov/federal_account/070-0400) Interest rate hedging means that higher short term rates bankrupt banks Bear steepener bankrupts banks Pre-payment of mortages bankrupts banks All of these things mean selling treasuries > Underneath the veneer of record-breaking profits is a ticking time bomb hidden in the recesses of Too Big To Fail global banks. I’m talking about the likes of JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, BNP Paribas, Nomura, etc. They sold trillions of notional worth of these products to desperate pension and insurance companies, and now will find themselves gushing losses larger than Three Arrows Capital. To hedge and stop the bleeding, these banks all must trade the same way. The more they hedge, the more they lose. All of this is due to the bear steepener, which is a direct result of Fed and global central banking policy. Talk about a TradFi human centipede. The FED Raising rates is not about fighting inflation, its about preventing a Bear Steepener in the bond market that kills the TBTF banks, but at the cost of killing the regional banks Already $780bn in loses ONLY on US Tbills, btw equity in the US banking system is only $2.2 Trillion (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/QBPBSTLKTEQKTBKEQK) Privacy Exchanges in the UK want to KYC every crypto transaction (https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/gemini-uk-to-prohibit-regular-bitcoin-transactions/) for Travel Rule compliance Make using custodial crypto exchanges more onerous and dangerous Will likely reduce crypto adoption but incentivize decentralized exchange "From 1st December 2023, Gemini may freeze and/or restrict users who are attempting to make inbound transfers to Gemini from a non-TRUST VASP.
