According to Odaily, ETF issuer VanEck has announced plans to close and liquidate its Ethereum Futures ETF. The board of VanEck ETF Trust has approved the liquidation and dissolution of the fund. VanEck stated that it continuously monitors and evaluates its ETF products based on various factors, including performance, liquidity, assets under management, and investor interest. The decision to liquidate the fund was made after analyzing these factors and other operational considerations.
Shareholders of the fund can sell their shares on the fund's listing exchange until the market closes on September 16, 2024 (UTC+8), although they may incur brokerage transaction fees. After the market closes on September 16, 2024, the fund's shares will no longer be traded on the listing exchange and will subsequently be delisted. The expected liquidation date of the fund is around September 23, 2024, at which time shareholders who still hold shares will receive a cash liquidation distribution in the cash portion of their brokerage accounts, equal to the net asset value of their shares.#VanEck #Ethereum #FuturesETF #liquidation #ETF #investors #shareholders #assets #market #trading #ETH

According to Odaily, Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller has indicated that the time is right to begin lowering policy interest rates at the upcoming meeting. Waller noted that recent data over the past three days show a slowdown in the labor market, although it has not deteriorated. This assessment is crucial for the forthcoming policy decisions. If conditions are appropriate, Waller supports an 'early' rate cut.#FederalReserve #RateCuts #InterestRates #ChristopherWaller #LaborMarket #PolicyDecisions #EconomicData
๐ Bitcoin Price Movements Could Trigger Significant Liquidations
#Bitcoin #PriceMovements #Liquidations #CEX #Coinglass #Trading #CryptoMarket #BTC
According to BlockBeats, data from Coinglass on September 6 indicates that if Bitcoin falls below $53,000, the cumulative liquidation intensity of long positions on major centralized exchanges (CEX) will reach $597 million. Conversely, if Bitcoin surpasses $56,000, the cumulative liquidation intensity of short positions on major CEX will reach $510 million.
BlockBeats notes that the liquidation chart does not display the exact number of contracts pending liquidation or the precise value of liquidated contracts. Instead, the bars on the liquidation chart represent the relative importance of each liquidation cluster compared to adjacent clusters, indicating intensity.
Therefore, the liquidation chart illustrates the extent to which the underlying price reaching a certain level will be affected. Higher 'liquidation bars' suggest that once the price reaches that level, there will be a more intense reaction due to the liquidity wave.#Bitcoin #PriceMovements #Liquidations #CEX #Coinglass #Trading #CryptoMarket #BTC

๐ Analyst Comments on Market Reaction to Waller's Speech
#marketreaction #WallerSpeech #ratecuts #economyexpansion #FOMC #inflationtarget #employmentdata #financialanalysis
According to Odaily, analyst Cameron Crise noted that the highly anticipated speech by Waller caused market fluctuations. One of the notable statements was his willingness to support strong action or early rate cuts if necessary. However, the market overlooked the significance of the word 'if' in his statement. Waller spent a considerable portion of his speech explaining why he remains optimistic about the continued expansion of the economy, why the Sam rule is descriptive rather than predictive, and how the type of shock that typically triggers a recession has not yet occurred. He indicated that more data is needed to determine the extent and pace of easing, suggesting that policymakers have not yet decided on the level of aggressiveness. Combining these remarks with earlier comments from Williams, there is still no convincing evidence that the FOMC will cut rates by 50 basis points. Additionally, Waller mentioned that during a series of rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, he believes there is enough room to lower policy rates while still maintaining some degree of restriction to ensure inflation continues towards the 2% target. This is reflected in employment data, and to some extent, the initial market reaction seemed somewhat exaggerated.#marketreaction #WallerSpeech #ratecuts #economyexpansion #FOMC #inflationtarget #employmentdata #financialanalysis

๐ Ethereum Foundation To Release Updated Financial Report Soon
#EthereumFoundation #FinancialReport #Ethereum #ETH #Cryptocurrency #JustinDrake #Blockchain #CryptoNews #RegulatoryIssues #SustainabilityPlan
According to CoinDesk, the Ethereum Foundation, the primary non-profit organization supporting the Ethereum blockchain, is preparing to release an updated financial report in the near future. A top official from the organization disclosed that its main Ethereum wallet currently holds approximately $650 million.
Justin Drake, a notable researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, shared during an ask-me-anything session on an Ethereum subreddit that the foundation spends around $100 million annually and has a financial runway of about ten years, contingent on the price of ether (ETH), the blockchainโs native token. Drake confirmed to CoinDesk that his Reddit handle is 'bobthesponge1.'
Drake mentioned that the Ethereum Foundation has a fiat buffer to cover a couple of years of operational costs. He noted that ETH sales were temporarily halted due to regulatory reasons, which delayed the replenishment of this buffer until recently. The last financial update from the foundation was in March 2022, when the EF treasury reported a balance of about $1.6 billion, including $1.3 billion in ETH and approximately $11 million in other cryptocurrencies. At that time, the price of ETH was $3,283, but it has since decreased by about 30% to $2,296.
Over the past two years, the foundation's funds have significantly decreased due to its spending rate and the decline in ETH prices. When asked about a sustainability plan in case the foundation runs out of funds, Drake responded that he was not aware of any such plan. The news was initially reported by The Block.#EthereumFoundation #FinancialReport #Ethereum #ETH #Cryptocurrency #JustinDrake #Blockchain #CryptoNews #RegulatoryIssues #SustainabilityPlan
๐ US Companies Expected To Increase Bitcoin Holdings
#Bitcoin #MicroStrategy #Blockchain #CorporateTreasury #InvestmentStrategy #Cryptocurrency #Inflation #TreasuryReserves #FinancialServices #River #BTC
According to Cointelegraph, a new report from Bitcoin technology and financial services firm River forecasts that some companies in the United States will increase their exposure to Bitcoin (BTC) over the next 18 months. The report estimates that around 10% of US-based companies are likely to convert 1.5% of their treasury reserves, approximately $10.35 billion, to Bitcoin within this period.
River's analysts highlighted that traditional corporate treasury strategies, which rely on cash and other short-term cash equivalents, are poor stores of value. These investments can generate modest returns near the federal funds rate, currently over 5%. However, even these short-term investments often fail to outperform inflation, diminishing the value of a treasury. The report noted that this inflationary erosion caused Apple, now a trillion-dollar corporation, to lose $15 billion of its treasury holdings over the last decade.
The forecast points to the growing adoption of a corporate treasury strategy popularized by MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor. In June 2024, MicroStrategy completed an additional $800 million debt sale of senior convertible notes at 2.25%, with a maturation date of 2032. The company used the funds from the corporate debt to purchase an additional 11,931 BTC. Saylor has characterized Bitcoin as an asset that guarantees โeconomic immortalityโ to corporations and businesses due to its capped supply and a lack of counterparty risk inherent in other stores of value, such as real estate or equities.
MicroStrategyโs second-quarter earnings report revealed that it currently holds 226,500 BTC, valued at approximately $14.7 billion at the time. Saylorโs BTC treasury strategy has caused MicroStrategy to significantly outperform Warren Buffettโs investment company, Berkshire Hathaway. Since adopting the Bitcoin treasury strategy, MicroStrategy has risen by over 1,000%, while shares of Berkshire Hathaway rose by 104.75% during the same period. Buffett has declined to add Bitcoin to his portfolio or recommend it as a hedge against fiat inflation.#Bitcoin #MicroStrategy #Blockchain #CorporateTreasury #InvestmentStrategy #Cryptocurrency #Inflation #TreasuryReserves #FinancialServices #River #BTC
