The US Securities and Exchange Commission has approved the country's first exchange-traded fund based on bitcoin futures. Against the backdrop of positive news for the entire industry, the price of BTC rose by almost 3% in 24 hours. According to Coinmarketcap data as of October 18, the cost of the first cryptocurrency exceeds $ 62,400. However, not all cryptocurrency market players were delighted with the news of the SEC approval of an exchange-traded fund for BTC. DeFi Unchained Capital CEO Parker Luce is confident that ETFs are not very profitable for investors. “The Exchange Traded Fund efficiently processes bitcoin as if it were a traditional financial asset. If an investor buys it through an ETF, then you assume additional market maker risks. As a result, he chooses one of the more risky ways of owning bitcoin than if he bought it on the exchange,” he said.
Walmart will launch its own fintech startup
Walmart, the largest US retailer, plans to launch its own fintech project, which will be led by former Goldman Sachs executives. It will be a joint venture with Ribbit Capital, but Walmart will be the majority owner. According to the media, citing sources, one of the options for creating a joint venture could be the acquisition of a neobank, while the company does not plan to obtain a banking license. Walmart has been trying to build a financial services business for its customers for a long time. Until this direction has become one of the most successful for the company. “Everything we will do will be aimed at expanding what we are already doing. Wider adoption of Walmart Pay is definitely something that fits into the ecosystem we're trying to build, ”said Walmart CFO Brett Biggs.
The author of the term "virtual reality" called BTC a pyramid
Scientist, author of the term "virtual reality" Jaron Lanier considers the first cryptocoin "pyramid". In his opinion, investors who bought bitcoin at the beginning of its distribution earned significantly more than those who bought bitcoin later. Lanier believes digital currencies are like gambling. At the same time, the scientist noted that for a long time he was a supporter of crypto assets. “It’s intrinsically a Ponzi scheme. Like the early people have more than the later people. And the further down the chain you get, the more you’re subject to gambling, like dynamics where it’s more and more random and more and more subject to weird network effects and whatnot, unless you’re a very small player…but even then, you’ll be subject to fluctuations. it’s going to wave around the little people more, ”said Lanier.
