@fintechfrank Frank there are so many issues. 1) token/trad mkts not connected, 2) px at token markets can be disparate, 3) pxs created by AMMs, 4) corp stock options incentives can be altered by fat finger /errant px 5) few if any inst inv will be trading tokens. Best to sit on sidelines.
I agree w/Chris that with the recent ANPR the CFTC is talking the helm of bringing crypto under its wing. This is good for investors, as a regulated market is better than an unregulated one. But the CFTC is stretching pretty far and I am sure courts will be called to weigh in
The @CFTC has opened a federal front door for America's crypto exchanges. In @thehill, I explain why it rests on authority Congress already gave the agency, and why it's good policy for investors, innovation and the U.S. economy. https://t.co/77hlW62elL
One of the things I'm extremely proud of is how the @BBGIntelligence, Bloomberg @economics and @BloombergNEF policy analysts come together and work an issue from multiple angles, all the time advising our clients on exactly what they need to know for their portfolios and investments.
So on October 28 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern, please join us for a live briefing on the US midterms and how the outcome will reset the policy and regulatory outlook.

Really enjoyed being back on Odd Lots with @TheStalwart and @tracyalloway. Would indeed have been fun to debate perps with Terry Duffy. We clearly have different views…
Following my prediction on last year's recording that in 10 years compute will be bigger than oil, this year I revealed the name we use at DRW for the profit margin between tokens and GPUs: the crunch spread.
Oil into fuel: crack spread. Soybeans into meal and oil: crush spread. Nat gas into power: spark spread. As with those markets, futures on both the GPU hours and tokens eventually will let you trade—and hedge—the crunch.

@JoeSaluzzi Idk. How many times are you asked to buy a stock for a client that you wouldn’t touch with a 10ft pole?
That said Adina has been pretty active in promoting digital.

Our final panel on compute futures. @silicondata Intercontinental Exchange @CMEGroup and @BrettHarrison at https://t.co/PO550sdmsV and moderated by our own Paul Gulberg @pgulberg .

@BandmanJeff
Chatted w/@TXStockExchange folks. Seems on Monday, market makers weren't looking at them for the close, and yesterday data vendors weren't looking at them for the closing print. They just put an interesting auction webpage. Lets see what happens this eve

Another problem with closing Dillards ($DDS) today
That 50pt drop at the close and 30pt rebound right after the close isn't what most traders would call normal
