SEC overshadows shanghai hard fork With the SEC going after Staking, the Ethereum Shanghai Hard Fork Upgrade (due on March 20) might not be good news as originally hoped. If the Seven Siblings is activated on Ethereum, this major sell off will crash the price badly. If you want a good alternative to ETH, Stellar Lumens (XLM) would be a wise choice, even though some posters like to give me grief about it. Why Stellar Lumens? Stellar Lumens joins CFTC global market advisory committee I’ll say, I’m no expert on crypto but stellar is among my larger chunks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been buying and trading XRP and XLM for 2 1/2 years. Are you trading XLM for other tokens, such as in Lobstr or Scopuly apps? There are some huge opportunities if you know which ones to trade for. Stellar Network is the future. It will be the new stock market. Putting your money into Stellar (XLM) is a wise move.

I wish it would jump back to the October 2021 prices! My account is still 1/3 of what it was, but still up a ton since I first started investing in early 2018. ETC was around $120 back then.

Jauronimo Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Blackrock is gaining traction in their bid for the first approved crypto ETF. The SEC has rejected all applications for crypto ETFs citing a number of arguments the most compelling of which, in my opinion, is crypto exchanges are not regulated. But Blackrock has a long history of successfully navigating the SEC and obtaining approval. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/06/29/fidelity-joins-the-rush-for-a-bitcoin-etf-following-blackrock-ark-invest-and-others.html https://www.ft.com/content/1886c3a3-3fb8-411a-b95a-e4667de560d1 This is potentially big for the crypto world and opens the door for many investors who want exposure to crypto without dealing with the complication of owning coin and private keys. Its also very good news for me since I hold a little bit of Grayscale Bitcoin Trust which filed for ETF conversion years ago and has been suing the SEC. GBTC trades at a discount to net asset value (NAV) of about 30% as of yesterday. It was closer to 50% when I last bought. Which means that actual bitcoin held by Grayscale is worth 30% more than a share of GBTC. Conversion to an ETF would immediately result in a rise to market value. See the link below for discussion of closed end funds and why they can trade at either a premium or discount relative to the value of the actual assets held. https://grayscale.com/qa-what-converting-gbtc-to-an-etf-would-mean/ This is an arbitrage play on successful ETF conversion. Based on all the activity I think theres a decent chance the SEC approves crypto ETFs. Graycsale Ethereum trades at a 50% discount. I'm also looking at Grayscale Litecoin.

I am super familiar with Blackrock given my nearly 30 years in tech. Let's hope that they don't want to invest in another submersible.
