Why Bitcoin Is Worth at Least a Penny

Bitcoin has a capped supply and a predictable schedule of issuance: 6.25 BTC are mined every 10 minutes, and that amount is cut in half every four years or so, and will continue to be halved until the supply reaches a hair under 21 million units, sometime in 2140, when we’re all dead (except maybe Peter Thiel, God bless him). After that, no more bitcoin will ever be created, unless the algorithm in the software is changed by a consensus of the network, which is theoretically possible but exceedingly unlikely…

After Bitcoin All-Time High, What’s Next?

Just this month alone, the bitcoin price has rallied more than 50%, fueled by U.S. regulators’ first approvals of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) linked to bitcoin futures contract.

Some NFTs Are Probably Illegal. Does the SEC Care?

This is a pattern that has repeated itself over crypto’s decade-long history. Back in 2017, crypto’s hottest trend was the ICO, or initial coin offering. In the way that a traditional company might issue new shares of stock to the public through an initial public offering, crypto companies were trying to issue new cryptocurrencies as a kind of fundraising mechanism. Eventually, the Securities and Exchange Commission decided ICOs amounted to unregistered securities offerings. If it looks like a security and walks like a security, it’s probably a security. Source

Bitcoin ETFs Aren’t New. Here’s How They’ve Fared Outside the US

While futures-based ETFs are not investors’ first choice, the combination of crypto and ETFs could make a big splash, introducing a new class of investor to both sectors. Consider that the global ETF industry currently has $9.4 trillion in assets under management, growing at an annual rate of 26%, while crypto’s market capitalization sits at $2.75 trillion – and most of its value is being held on retail exchanges, in trusts like Grayscale (a CoinDesk sister company) or on-chain where it can be used as intended. The U.S. represents $5.47…
