Great session during an historic day in the anals of ETFs.

[Bob Dewey @macroleverageTP]

Just hosted X Spaces session with @Matt_Hougan and @matthew_sigel about #BitcoinETFs first day of trading. Copying @JSeyff who was stuck on a subway.

Takeaways:
Volumes are higher than what most expected
- Tough to know what % is current owners switching into ETFs as a new vehicle, but that is likely a large portion of demand.
- Buy/sell spreads were wide early today, as expected, but have narrowed through the day- necessary for the RIA market as brokers are sensitive to this form of fee.
- True demand won't be known for a while as very few buyers were likely to buy all at once.
- On chain fees were actually weaker than expected through the day and the mem pool was calm for most of the day, signaling the end of day posting of transactions by the APs and others.
- Expect continued demand after a very big volume day.

Bitcoin Mempool - The spike was 11-11:15am.

What will be happening with #BitcoinETFs at 3pmET on Thursday???

Enthusiastic to be hosting @JSeyff and @Matt_Hougan
from Bitwise on an X Spaces session.

Will any ETFs be trading at a premium as some are predicting? Will Bitcoin be higher or lower?

It seems as though the markets now have too much holiday spirit to listen to the Fed Grinches this weekend, having been drinking deeply from the monetary punchbowl that Chair Powell just spiked.

[Markets Policy Partners @MarketsPolicy]

@APompliano And they do that by keeping interest rates lower than inflation. Learn more - insightful interviews with experts @LynAldenContact and Russell Napier. You will also love our interview with @APompliano discussing prosperity.

Fed messaging remains the driver of global risk markets while US data continues to cool. Q3 earnings season wraps up on a mixed note, while Japanese markets swing after BOJ decision and US government dysfunction persists. https://t.co/5g6lymI5mJ

Top 5 drivers of financial markets this week:
1) Fedspeak, 2) economic data showing comfortable slowing, 3) Earnings mixed confirming #2, 4) BOJ starting to address the weak Yen, 5) House Speaker resolution has not improved US Govt disfunction.

1/23 EU CBDC
In early October, I warned about a green light that the ECB might get to move to the next stage of testing towards the launch of an EU CBDC.

The ECB did get the green light on Oct 18 and the ECB is proceeding towards a potential launch in the next four years.
