@heresyfinancial Speaking as a TradFi person who speaks with major family offices โ your content and knowledge is better then most wall st folks your depth in knowledge shows
Keep it up
Note: Seeding is typically not a lot of money just enough to get ETF going. So I wouldn't read this as 'omg Blackrock is buying a ton of bitcoin' at all but more the fact they doing it and disclosing it shows another step in the process of launching.
@arthur0x ser aside from speculation, some uniswap and stablecoin transfers the chain is ded
eth fut etf's shows instos are not interested atm. on-chain activity with a clear narrative is reqd for ETH to pump atm there is nothing going for it aside from nerdy tech
@dunleavy89 I'll continue - minimum requirement is as low as $2-3 million - assuming each decides to seed with $20 million it's ~$200 million of buying power.
looking at Canada's 3iq one of the longest running spot ETFs it has ~$700 million AUM so I don't believe we will seed start bigger
@davidddddt@tedtalksmacro This - if there are few sellers then a buyer has to meet them at a certain price
Meaning even $1 of inflows could lead to a 10% rally in theory if the next seller demands it and the buyer is willing to pay for it โ it becomes the new price
@ecoinometrics@hvalapiletina would be great to hear if your thesis changes if miners were bid as a potential pivot to AI play - arguably they are best positioned outside of trad data centres to house GPUs
@ecoinometrics miners are in struggle street atm with hashprice ATL - do you think that miners were bid because of the AI narrative?
there is an angle that miners are well-positioned to house AI rigs and pivot if needed and some even did.
@TheFlowHorse thanks ser - you will get a lot more distribution via YT which should translate into a greater following + clout if you are seeking it.
else just happy you'll be helping many more ppl
@degen_kaiji @TraderMercury agree - simple trade
buy GBTC
sell BTC
wait (for GBTC to be converted to ETF)
profit
actually leads to spot selling pressure on BTC in short term as ppl close that spread.
