So, it's official: We've jumped the shark. Solana ETFs are here. And Hedera? Litecoin? Seriously? I remember when a Bitcoin ETF was supposed to be the holy grail. Now, it's like they're handing out crypto ETFs like participation trophies. "Oh, you launched a blockchain that kinda works? Here's an ETF!" Give me a break.
Bitwise, Grayscale, Canary... these guys are tripping over themselves to launch these things. Hunter Horsley, CEO of Bitwise, says BSOL "connected with a lot of investor demand." Of course he does. That's what they all say. It's marketing drivel.
$46 million in trading volume for BSOL on its third day? Impressive, I guess, in this clown market. But let's be real, that's a rounding error compared to what the Bitcoin ETFs pulled in. And Canary's Hedera ETF at $2.3 million? Pathetic. Litecoin at $500k? Might as well just set the money on fire. As Crypto’s second wave of ETFs arrives, investors snap up new Solana offering - Fortune reports, investors are indeed snapping up these new Solana offerings.
Eric Balchunas calls investing in crypto via ETFs "McDonald's easy." I almost choked on my coffee when I read that. "McDonald's easy"? Is that what we're aiming for now? Reducing complex, volatile assets to the lowest common denominator? Are we trying to turn everyone into mindless consumers who just blindly buy whatever's advertised on TV?
He also dropped that Ricky Bobby line: "If you’re not first, you’re last." Yeah, that's the spirit! Let's create a cutthroat, zero-sum game where everyone's scrambling to launch the next dogshit ETF just to get ahead. Great. That's exactly what the crypto world needs. A race to the bottom.
I miss the days when crypto was about disrupting the financial system, not replicating it with extra steps and higher fees.
Speaking of fees, are these ETFs actually cheap? I haven't checked, and frankly, I don't care enough to look it up. But I bet you they're raking in a percentage on every trade. Which sounds a lot like the traditional finance system we were trying to get away from in the first place.
Remember the decade-long legal battle for a Bitcoin ETF? The Winklevoss twins getting rejected back in 2013? Grayscale suing the SEC? It was a whole saga. Now, suddenly, the SEC is handing out approvals like candy.
The article mentions something about "new guidance" issued during the government shutdown. What's that about? Did the SEC just decide to throw caution to the wind while everyone was distracted? Or is this some kind of coordinated effort to pump up the market before the next election? I don't trust any of this.
And Eric Balchunas thinks XRP is next? Fantastic. More pump-and-dump schemes disguised as legitimate investment opportunities. I can't wait.
Offcourse, the SEC approved a Bitcoin futures ETF back in 2021, but not a spot fund. What kinda sense does that make? Futures are even more complicated and risky. Then again, maybe I'm the crazy one here. Maybe everyone else is perfectly happy with the SEC's inconsistent and nonsensical regulations.
I'm starting to wonder if the SEC even knows what it's doing anymore. Or if they even care.
This whole thing stinks. Solana ETF? Hedera? Litecoin? It's a blatant cash grab, plain and simple. The crypto world has officially jumped the shark, and I'm not sure it's coming back.
