Quick Summary

President-Elect Donald Trump has nominated Scott Bessent, a pro-crypto hedge fund manager, as his Treasury Secretary.

As Treasury Secretary, Bessent's responsibilities will include tax policy, managing growing debt, and potentially crypto policy. He has also outlined a

On Friday, President-Elect Donald Trump picked pro-crypto hedge fund manager Scott Bessent as his administration’s new Treasury Secretary, pending a Senate confirmation. The 62-year-old has supported Trump’s call for the creation of a strategic bitcoin reserve, as well as his broader overtures to the crypto industry.

"I have been excited about the [Trump’s] embrace of crypto, and I think it fits very well with the Republican Party, Bessent told media this summer. “Crypto is about freedom.. The crypto economy is here to stay, the Democrats are running from it because they are trying to wash off the stench of Sam Bankman-Fried and his family donations to the Democratic party.”

Bessent’s ambit will include tax policy, managing growing debt, and may grow to include crypto policy, market analysts believe.

Bessent has also been a major donor to Trump, extending $1 million to the Republican candidate for his 2016 inauguration. In the past, Trump has labeled Bessent as “one of the most brilliant men on Wall Street.”

In terms of his economic viewpoints, Bessent espouses a "3-3-3" strategy, where he is advising Trump to deploy deregulation to achieve 3% annual growth to the GDP, trim the budget deficit by making it just 3% of the GDP in the next four years, and increase daily oil production by 3 million barrels a day, according to the New York Times.

Moreover, Bessent has tried to clarify Trump’s controversial economic policies, particularly his proposal to levy protectionist tariffs. While even some Republicans criticized the tariffs for inflating costs and burdening businesses and consumers, Bessent claims that Trump deploys them as strategic leverage to pressure other nations into meeting his demands.

Others in Musk’s camp, like Tesla CEO and billionaire Elon Musk, hoped for a different Treasury Secretary in the form of Howard Lutnick, the CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald.

“Scott has long been a strong advocate of the America First Agenda,” Trump said in his announcement. “We will ensure that no Americans will be left behind in the next and Greatest Economic Boom, and Scott will lead that effort for me, and the Great People of the United States of America.”

>>> Tesla Quietly Transfers $765 Million In Bitcoin, Putting Musk's Cryptocurrency Strategy Under Intense Scrutiny Amid Market Concerns


Benzinga

by LaToya Scott

October 21, 2024


https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla-quietly-transfers-765-million-164536555.html


Elon Musk's ventures into cryptocurrency are raising eyebrows once again. Blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence reported that Tesla recently moved about $765 million worth of Bitcoin to unidentified wallets.

This massive transfer has sparked a flurry of speculation. What's Tesla planning next? Will they sell or is there something else at play? Tesla hasn't commented, leaving experts and crypto-watchers alike in suspense.

According to BitcoinTreasuries, Tesla holds the fourth-largest stash of Bitcoin among U.S. public companies. Only MicroStrategy and crypto mining giants like MARA Holdings and Riot Platforms hold more.

Tesla’s Bitcoin holdings, though substantial, still make up less than 1% of the company’s total $705 billion market cap. This starkly contrasts with other companies where Bitcoin represents a hefty chunk – sometimes over 25% – of their value.

Tesla first made headlines in early 2021 when it invested $1.5 billion in Bitcoin. Musk, never one to shy away from risk, saw the move as a way to diversify Tesla's portfolio and support its interest in accepting crypto car payments.

That news alone sent Bitcoin soaring by over $10,000. But Musk's love affair with Bitcoin didn't last long. By mid-2021, he had hit the brakes, citing concerns over Bitcoin mining's reliance on coal and other fossil fuels, which didn't align with his broader sustainability mission. The about-face sent shock waves through the crypto community, with Bitcoin dropping more than 10% almost overnight.

Still, Musk stood firm, declaring that Tesla wouldn't sell any of its Bitcoin and would resume accepting it for purchases once mining shifted toward renewable energy sources. That didn't last long, either.

By the summer of 2022, Tesla had sold off most of its Bitcoin at about $20,000 per coin, considerably lower than it initially paid. Critics quickly pointed out that the company had sold near the bottom of the market, losing significant potential profit.

Despite the sell-off, Tesla held on to a smaller reserve – fewer than 10,000 Bitcoin – which has appreciated over 350% since the company's initial purchase. Had Tesla not sold its holdings, the Bitcoin stash would be worth more than $3 billion today. According to Forbes, Bitcoin recently hit a high of $73,750, far surpassing the company's original buy price of 43,200 BTC.

Now, the crypto world waits to see what happens next. The timing of this transfer is particularly interesting, as new accounting standards are set to go into effect this December. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has updated its guidelines, requiring digital assets like Bitcoin to be marked at fair value.

Previously, assets could only be marked down in case of depreciation, with no recognition of value increases unless they were sold. These new rules will allow companies to reflect gains and losses in their financial reports, which could shift how firms like Tesla approach their Bitcoin holdings.

>>> 3 Big Changes That Could Be Coming For Cryptocurrency in 2025



by Dominic Basulto

Motley Fool

October 20, 2024


https://finance.yahoo.com/news/3-big-changes-could-coming-104100682.html


2024 has already been a watershed year for the crypto industry, thanks to the launch of the new spot Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) ETFs in January. For the first time ever, both individual and institutional investors have a quick, easy, and regulator-approved way to get direct exposure to Bitcoin without entering the cryptocurrency market through a crypto-trading brokerage.

But there could be even bigger changes ahead in 2025. Many, of course, will be the result of the 2024 presidential election, which has seen crypto introduced as a political campaign issue for the first time ever. Here are three big changes on the horizon, ranked from most likely to least likely to occur.

More crypto ETFs

The new spot Bitcoin ETFs have surpassed all expectations, bringing in more than $30 billion of investor capital. Yes, there was a brief rough patch in August, when it looked like investor inflows would dry up. But inflows are now back on a bullish pace, and these ETFs are being accepted by everyone from the smallest retail investor to the biggest billionaire hedge fund manager.

Thus, the introduction of more crypto ETFs in 2025 is almost a no-brainer. July saw the launch of new spot Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) ETFs, and the current expectation is that a handful of other large market-cap cryptocurrencies could be next. The most likely prospects include Solana and XRP, both of which rank among the top 10 largest cryptocurrencies.

A change in how crypto is regulated

Currently, the United States lacks a comprehensive regulatory framework for crypto, but that could be changing in 2025. Both Republicans and Democrats agree that such a framework is needed, and political momentum seems to be building for an overhaul next year.

Right now, the system for regulating crypto is unclear and, at times, unfair. This is a point that cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase Global (NASDAQ: COIN) has argued over and over again, as it has been pulled into regulatory battles with the SEC. Keep in mind: The current system for regulating crypto is based on a 1946 Supreme Court case that was originally designed to settle a dispute over Florida citrus groves. It's getting harder and harder to see how these ancient rules apply to modern business issues.

Thus, 2025 could see the introduction of new legislation that clearly spells out how crypto should be regulated, as well as who should be regulating it. Right now, the SEC is the primary regulator, but the current thinking among pro-crypto advocates is that the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) should be in charge. At the very least, look for the replacement of SEC head Gary Gensler in 2025 with someone with a more pro-crypto attitude.

Bitcoin as a national strategic imperative

Bitcoin could become a new strategic imperative for the U.S. government in 2025. Already, there are calls for greater government support for the Bitcoin mining industry, as well as suggestions that the U.S. might be pulled into a Bitcoin "arms race" with the likes of China and Russia.

Some politicians have even suggested that Bitcoin could become part of a solution to the $35 trillion national debt problem. The logic here is very simple: As long as Bitcoin can increase in price faster than the national debt can grow in size, there might be a chance to pay off all this debt one day. Granted, it's going to be tough sledding, given that the U.S. debt is growing by $1 trillion every 100 days. By way of comparison, that's equivalent to the total market cap of Bitcoin right now.

As part of a potential solution, U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyoming) has already introduced legislation for a strategic Bitcoin reserve that is based on the idea of buying 1 million BTC over a period of several years. Over time, part of that reserve could theoretically be used to pay down debt.

Granted, the chances of any of this happening are directly tied to the electoral success of Donald Trump, who claims to be the first pro-Bitcoin president in history. He has already said that he wants to make America the "crypto capital of the planet." For some people, this might sound terrifying. But for crypto investors, it could be a dream come true.

How to profit from changes to crypto

The big question facing investors in 2025 is how to position a portfolio to take advantage of these potential changes. The simplest solution, of course, is to load up on Bitcoin. Much of the political and regulatory focus seems to be on Bitcoin, which still accounts for more than one-half of the market cap of the entire crypto market. So any change to crypto is going to have an effect, first and foremost, on Bitcoin.

The real-world effect of any new crypto legislation is harder to predict. A clue here might come from other nations attempting to enact new crypto legislation. For example, the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation will go into full effect in December. This will establish a comprehensive legal framework for the issuance, investment, and trading of crypto assets across the EU.

For now, keep an eye on the 2024 presidential election. The outcome there could have a huge effect on the crypto market for years to come. If there's a big post-election rally, you can be confident that big changes will be coming for crypto in 2025.

>>> Trump unveils cryptocurrency plan at Bitcoin2024 Conference


The Hill

by Yash Roy

7-27-24


https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-unveils-cryptocurrency-plan-at-bitcoin2024-conference/ar-BB1qKqsi?OCID=ansmsnnews11


Former President Donald Trump unveiled his plan for cryptocurrency while making history as the first major party candidate to address the annual cryptocurrency conference. During his Saturday speech, he also attacked Democrats for trying to “obliterate” cryptocurrencies.

“I am proud to be the first American president to address a Bitcoin event anywhere in the world,” he said during his appearance at Bitcoin2024 Conference in Nashville’s Music City Center. “If crypto is going to define the future, I want it to be mined, minted and made in the USA.”

Trump and a host of Republicans, including entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Bill Haggerty (R-Tenn.), and Tim Scott (R-S.C.) were also in attendance. Trump has pointed to Ramaswamy as his main cryptocurrency advisor.

During his speech, Trump said that if elected president, he would create a cryptocurrency advisory board to create “transparent” regulation within his first 100 days. He also committed to scrapping the Biden administration’s plan to create a central bank for cryptocurrency.

“Regulation will be written by people who love your industry and not hate it within my first 100 days,” he said.

“I will tell the Treasury Department to cease and desist all steps and necessary moves to shut down the central bank,” he added. “Forget about it.”

The Biden administration has rolled out a series of proposals to regulate cryptocurrency, with the Securities and Exchange Commission moving to regulate cryptocurrency agencies more strongly than ever before.

Trump to speak at Nashville BitCoin conference

Trump also lambasted President Biden and Vice President Harris for moving to regulate cryptocurrency during the last four years, saying they want to “choke” off the industry.

“If they win this election, every one of you will be gone. They will be vicious, ruthless,” he said. “Right now, because of me, they are leaving you alone, so please say thank you, President Trump.”

Crypto firms have criticized the Biden administration for being “overzealous” in enforcing industry regulation. They have also increasingly viewed Biden and Democrats as inhospitable to the industry, leading to senior Biden administration officials meeting with crypto leaders earlier in July to try to improve relations.

“Unfortunately, the majority of Dems continue to enable [SEC Chair Gary] Gensler’s unlawful war on crypto – sabotaging the ability for American innovation to thrive,” Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse wrote in a post on social platform X after that meeting

“It’s no wonder the GOP has announced a pro-crypto stance,” he continued. “Gensler will go down as the Luddite of his time. Words are easy, action is hard but necessary. Choose wisely. Voters are paying attention.”

>>> SEC drops investigation into Ethereum 2.0, in a major victory for the crypto industry

The halting of the SEC investigation boosted market confidence around the world's second-largest cryptocurrency.


The Street

by MARIO NAWFAL

JUN 19, 2024


https://www.thestreet.com/crypto/markets/sec-drops-investigation-into-ethereum-2-0-signaling-a-major-victory-for-the-crypto-industry


In a significant development for the cryptocurrency industry, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has closed its investigation into Ethereum 2.0, a move celebrated as a win for the sector. Scott Melker, host of The Wolf of All Streets podcast and Mario Nawfal, host of Mario Nawfal’s Roundtable, dove into the implications of this decision and what it means for the future of crypto regulation.

Melker highlighted the significance of the SEC's decision. "This is being touted as a huge win for the crypto industry. As they said, ethereum survives the SEC," Melker remarked, emphasizing that the SEC will not bring charges alleging that Ethereum 2.0's sales are securities transactions.

Nawfal pointed out the broader political context, noting recent shifts in the Biden administration's stance on crypto. He mentioned the surprise approval of an ethereum exchange-traded fund (ETF), suggesting that these moves indicate a softer approach towards the industry. "Great news for ethereum, but more importantly, great news for the industry. If this path continues, that pivot continues, then the election's going to be net positive for the industry," Nawfal added.

Melker highlighted the difficulty the SEC now faces in pursuing ethereum as a security after approving its spot ETF, effectively classifying it as a commodity. This marks the first time a Wells Notice issued to a crypto entity has been withdrawn, possibly signaling a more lenient regulatory environment as this year's election approaches.

Reading from the SEC’s letter, Nawfal noted, "The commission is instructing its staff that in cases where such action appears appropriate, they may advise the person under inquiry that a small investigation has been terminated." This official stance underscores the significant shift in the regulatory landscape.

While the decision is positive news for ethereum and other altcoins, questions remain about the future regulatory treatment of ethereum competitors like Solana, Matic, and Cardano, which have been passively named in ongoing lawsuits against major exchanges.

The crypto market has responded positively, with ethereum and other cryptocurrencies experiencing a modest rally. However, the long-term impact will depend on how the SEC proceeds with its regulatory actions against other crypto assets. As Melker concluded, "The best-case scenario is that we get no clarity on anything for the next six months and just don't get more attacks on the industry."

>>> SEC ends crypto drama by giving the green light to 11 bitcoin ETFs


Yahoo Finance

by David Hollerith and Jennifer Schonberger

January 10, 2024


https://finance.yahoo.com/news/sec-ends-crypto-drama-by-giving-the-green-light-to-11-bitcoin-etfs-165408349.html


The moment the crypto world wanted finally happened Wednesday. And this time it was for real.

Regulators on Wednesday gave money managers the green light to launch 11 spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds, allowing everyday investors to get exposure to the world’s largest cryptocurrency without having to own it.

The ETFs, which begin trading Thursday, could make bitcoin a potential staple in 401(k)s, IRAs, and pension plans and give it mainstream acceptance.

The Securities and Exchange Commission made the announcement roughly 24 hours after a fake social media post claimed those approvals had already been granted.

The chaos triggered by that unauthorized post on X reverberated from Wall Street to Washington while attracting new scrutiny to the SEC, a longtime foe of the industry that is still in the middle of a widespread crackdown on some of crypto’s major players.

The price of bitcoin seesawed Tuesday and Wednesday as investors tried to make sense of the mishap, which erased tens of billions in market value in just minutes.

SEC Chair Gary Gensler made it clear in a statement Wednesday that his agency "did not approve or endorse bitcoin" when it signed off on the new products and called Wednesday's announcement "the most sustainable path forward" following a key court defeat on this issue last summer.

"Investors should remain cautious about the myriad risks associated with bitcoin and products whose value is tied to crypto," he said in his statement.

One SEC commissioner, Caroline Crenshaw, published a dissenting opinion that called the agency's actions "unsound and ahistorical."

"I am concerned that these products will flood the markets and land squarely in the retirement accounts of US households who can least afford to lose their savings to the fraud and manipulation that appears prevalent in the spot bitcoin markets," she said in her statement.

The SEC has rejected such applications in the past, arguing the products were vulnerable to market manipulation.

The list of applicants approved by the SEC Wednesday included some of the biggest names on Wall Street, from BlackRock (BLK) to Franklin Templeton (BEN), as well as a number of firms better known in the crypto world.

These issuers competed with one another in the run-up to their launches to offer the lowest fees, hoping to attract as many investors as possible once ETFs begin trading.

Other big Wall Street players plan to be part of the action, as well. JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Goldman Sachs (GS) are among the giant banks that have offered to help some of these money managers create and redeem shares of their new funds.

Optimism about these approvals helped bitcoin surge 164% in 2023 and start 2024 by rising above $47,000, its highest level in nearly two years.

A decade in the making

The crypto industry has been waiting more than a decade for this moment.

The first application to create a spot bitcoin ETF came in 2013 from crypto entrepreneurs and twins Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, famous for their early role in the creation of Facebook.

Since then, the SEC has denied more than 30 similar applications.

A key turnaround moment came last year in June when the world’s biggest money manager, BlackRock, filed for a spot bitcoin ETF. The interest from one of Wall Street’s biggest names sparked other asset managers to follow suit.

Another important development came last August when one of the ETF applicants, Grayscale Investments, won a key legal victory over the SEC. Grayscale had sued the SEC in 2022 after it wasn't allowed to convert its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) into a spot bitcoin offering.

Its core argument was that the agency had already approved exchange-traded products that held bitcoin futures contracts and thus had "acted arbitrarily and capriciously."

A three-judge panel of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals in Washington sided with Grayscale, saying the firm had "advanced substantial evidence" its product was similar to bitcoin futures ETFs previously approved by the SEC.

That forced the SEC to reconsider Grayscale’s spot bitcoin ETF application, along with others filed by rival money managers.

"We are now faced with a new set of filings similar to those we have disapproved in the past," Gensler said in his statement Wednesday. "Circumstances, however, have changed."

One of the applicants, Ark Investment Management CEO Cathie Wood, told Yahoo Finance that the dominant providers of spot bitcoin ETFs will be those that take in the most money from investors right out of the gate.

The winners "will be a few and it will be the most liquid," she said.

Historically, launches for other bitcoin products have sent bitcoin’s price on a wild ride.

It happened in 2017 with the launch of the country’s first bitcoin futures contracts and then in 2021 with the SEC’s approval of the first bitcoin futures ETFs. Prices soared and then fell by large amounts in the year following the launches.

In recent weeks, much debate has raged over whether bitcoin will rise or fall once the lauded moment of approval comes to pass.

Gautam Chhugani, managing director of the research arm for Bernstein, said his team estimates such financial products will garner $10 billion or more in investment flows through the end of 2024 and "hundreds of billions of dollars" over a two-year period.

That, he added, will help push bitcoin’s price even higher.

"We do think that bitcoin goes to $150,000 by 2025," Chhugani added.
