New paper alert! How expensive is crypto retail trading? If you're trading on @coinbase, @cryptocom, or @krakenfx, very expensive relative to @RobinhoodApp or ETFs. Data providers (@KaikoData) understate the true cost of trading https://t.co/igcZDmzZeC

$SLV's recent returns are just absurd.. who are these people(in my Seinfeld voice)? Barely any flows tho, only $1b over past 6mo. Meanwhile $IBIT is down 24% and over $6b of inflows. IMO that's really good sign for bitcoin long-term. Any rando ETF can take in cash when life is great but doing it in during a prolonged rough patch is something only stud ETFs do.

My research with Tom Boulton, Ben Miller, and Michael Walz is featured in this article. PFOF rates for Robinhood crypto are actually 10.5 (105) times higher than options (equities)! See the full paper at https://t.co/eB5ACmu6a4 #Citadel #Crypto #PFOF #Bitcoin #Ethereum

"New" paper alert! During my time at the SEC, I worked with Larry Harris and Louis Craig to revise Larry's work on Riskless Principal Transactions (RPTs) using regulatory TRACE data (i.e., using MPIDs to identify market participants and matching RPT pairs) https://t.co/Ebq3yrV2qq

I wrote this post about Super Bowl portfolios 7 years ago. Now that the @Eagles are back in the big game (and on a day like today in the markets), the short Philadelphia portfolio seems relevant again. https://t.co/8GhZ1eaumV

See my commentary @wilxTV "The Bitcoin Bounce: Cryptocurrency surges following election". Both volatile, but #Ethereum is better value than #Bitcoin at this point. In 5 years, $BTC +1300% vs 150% for $ETH. Yet $ETH trades at <1/25 price at only 1/6 supply https://t.co/4fifmvAHZu

If you're buying $BTC #bitcoin or other tokens through Robinhood, you should know that you are likely paying more because of their payment for order flow model. Wholesalers can execute around 1% away from market prices which comes out of your pocket.
