But there are three different kinds, and they behave very differently. Here is the complete guide to what they are, how they work, and which one fits. Summary Spot Bitcoin ETFs hold actual Bitcoin and offer the closest tracking to the cryptocurrencyโ€™s market price.

SEC And CFTC Ask Public To Weigh In On Swaps As Perpetual Fu

boss

The US derivatives debate just moved into a much more important phase. The Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission have opened a joint request for public comment on whether existing derivatives definitions still fit the products now coming to market. The request focuses on areas including swaps, security-based swaps, mixed swaps, novel products, emerging products, and alternative compliance. That sounds technical, but the timing matters. The request arrived as the market is also watching a legal fight over perpetual futures, including whether products approved for event-contract…

Binance’s Greek MiCA Bid Draws Questions About ECB Influence

boss

Binanceโ€™s faltering European Union Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) license application in Greece has raised questions about whether the bloc’s central bank may have played an informal role in the process, despite not having formal authority over licensing decisions. Even though MiCA assigns approval of crypto-asset service provider (CASP) licenses to national competent authorities (NCAs), lawyers told Cointelegraph that its wording does not prevent other EU institutions, including the European Central Bank (ECB), from communicating with those regulators during the review process. โ€œNothing in the MiCA framework would prevent a…

Arbitrum Fast Feed Proposal Would Sell Earlier Access To Ord

boss

Arbitrum governance is weighing a proposal that could turn transaction-ordering data into a paid network product. A new Constitutional AIP on the Arbitrum Governance Forum proposes creating the Fast Feed, a subscription-based data stream for Arbitrum One. The feed would give paying subscribers earlier access to updates on transactions, their relative ordering, and related metadata than they would receive through the regular public feed. The proposal is technical, but the market angle is easy to understand. In high-speed DeFi, timing matters. Earlier visibility into ordered transaction flow can be valuable…
