Solana-based memecoin platform Pump.fun is preparing for what could become one of the largest token sales in crypto history.

The project aims to raise $1.32 billion through its upcoming PUMP token offering, potentially securing the third spot among the highest-ever fundraising events in the industry.

According to data from Cryptorank, Pump.fun’s fundraising goal would put it just behind the now-defunct FTX exchange, which raised $1.75 billion from its FTT sale. It would also follow EOS (now Vaulta), which raised $4.26 billion in 2018.

Terra’s $1.2 billion raise from LUNC currently holds third place, followed by UNUS SED LEO and bankrupt Celsius at $1 billion and $910 million, respectively.

Pump.fun has scheduled the PUMP token launch for July 12. The token will have a fixed supply of 1 trillion, with 33% allocated for its initial coin offering (ICO).

Of that, 18% will be distributed via a private sale to institutional investors. The remaining 15% will be sold to the public through exchanges like Kraken, KuCoin, and others.

Each token will be priced at $0.004 and have no vesting schedule, meaning all purchased tokens will be immediately available upon launch.

Market sentiments around the PUMP token

However, even before its official launch, the token has generated significant interest in the market.

According to CoinGlass data, pre-market perpetual contracts for the PUMP token have jumped by more than 300% to reach $346 million in volume, with $115 million in open interest.

This indicates strong investor anticipation about the yet-to-launch crypto token.

Despite this early excitement, there is growing skepticism from large crypto investors.

Onchain Lens, a blockchain data platform, reported that several crypto whales are betting against the token’s price by shorting PUMP ahead of its launch. These whales have deposited millions of dollars into the Hyperliquid platform, signaling a lack of confidence in the token’s long-term performance.

Whales anticipate that PUMP will follow the typical pattern of many Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs). This means they believe the token would experience an initial surge followed by sharp price declines.

Tether Quietly Built $8B Gold Reserves in Swiss Vault to Reduce Custody Costs: Report

Stablecoin issuer Tether has built a gold vault empire worth around $8 billion, stored in a private vault in Switzerland, CEO Paolo Ardoino told Bloomberg in an interview.

The USDT issuer directly owns the vast majority of about 80 tons of gold stockpile outright. However, precious metals represent only 5% of Tether’s $112 billion reserve portfolio, per the company’s March attestation.

“We have our own vault. I believe it’s the most secure vault in the world,” Ardoino noted, declining to reveal the whereabouts of the Swiss vault due to security concerns.

USDT stablecoin reached a market cap of $159 billion last month, claiming 62.43% of the entire $255 billion stablecoin ecosystem.

The company’s gold reserves match the UBS Group’s total precious metals and commodities exposure, the report added.

Tether Gold Reserves Signals Pivot From Pure Fiat Exposure

In Ardoino’s books, gold’s safe-haven status helps buffer against fiat or regulatory turbulence. He said that the precious metal is a safer asset than any national currency.

“Eventually, I think that if people start to get concerned about the potential increase of the debt of the US, they might look at alternatives,” he told Bloomberg.

Further, the recent surge in gold prices is fueled by central bank buying and a return of investor interest in gold ETFs, according to a report from J.P. Morgan.

“Every single central bank in the BRICS countries is buying gold,” Ardoino added.

Gold Reserves Could Lower Custody Costs

Tether has been widely known for its association with gold, launching a gold-based token, Tether Gold, that recently showed stable gains.

According to Ardoino, the company’s decision to own its own gold vault is due to the high costs that precious metal vault operators charge.

If Tether’s gold token were to grow to $100 billion in circulation, “it’s a lot of money to pay 50 basis points,” said Ardoino.

“If you have your own vault, eventually with the size, it gets much cheaper to do custody.”

The U.S. Secret Service, better known for protecting American presidents, has emerged as a major force in the fight against cryptocurrency crime, Bloomberg reported on Saturday.

Through its Global Investigative Operations Center (GIOC), the agency has seized nearly $400 million in digital assets over the past decade. Much of that sits in a single cold wallet that is now among the most valuable globally.

jwp-player-placeholder

With digital fraud driving a majority of internet crime in the U.S., losses tied to crypto scams reached $9.3 billion in 2024, FBI data show. Investment frauds, fake platforms and extortion schemes disproportionately affect older victims, who lost nearly $2.8 billion last year. The GIOC uses open-source tools, subpoenas and blockchain analysis to trace stolen funds.

Led by attorney Kali Smith, the unit trains law enforcement globally, targeting jurisdictions vulnerable to lax oversight. A recent workshop in Bermuda underscored the risks facing crypto-friendly regions. Industry partners like Coinbase and Tether have assisted in large-scale recoveries, including $225 million in USDT tied to romance-investment scams.

“This training is part of our mission,” said Patrick Freaney, head of the New York field office. “We’ve been following the money for 160 years.”

CORRECT (July 7, 08:43 UTC): Corrects that the Bloomberg report was published on Saturday, not Monday.

Welcome to Slate Sundays, CryptoSlate’s new weekly feature showcasing in-depth interviews, expert analysis, and thought-provoking op-eds that go beyond the headlines to explore the ideas and voices shaping the future of crypto.

Unlike the Coinbases, Fidelities, and Galaxies of the crypto world that frequently make the headlines, core infrastructure providers quietly building out the rails of the new financial system often fly under the radar. A leading digital asset technology provider for institutions backed by the likes of Andreessen Horowitz, Coinbase Ventures, BNY, and Wells Fargo, in the last 12 months, the company has onboarded leading asset managers responsible for a combined $18 trillion in AUM.

As Samar Sen, SVP Head of APAC at Talos, tells me this statistic, my eyes widen. “These are some of the largest and most reputable asset managers in the world,” he smiles. Eloquent and poised despite being fresh off the plane from Singapore, I meet a friendly and polite Samar in the bustling media room at TOKEN2049 in Dubai, accompanied by his equally charming marketing lead, Audrey.

We exchange pleasant chatter, and they ask how long I’ve lived in Dubai and what brought me to this part of the world before extending an open invitation to visit their office in Singapore. Besides discussing the future of finance, the real attraction there, Audrey explains as she pads down her suit, is a “magic mirror” hanging on the wall that makes you look elongated and several pounds lighter.

“I could use a magic mirror,” I say. “Count me in!” Audrey and Samar laugh. “I miss my magic mirror,” she sighs, as we walk toward the seating area and I pull out my recorder.

The inefficiency of TradFi’s legacy tech stacks

Samar’s background is impressive, having clocked hours at many of the largest TradFi institutions, from Goldman Sachs and Barclays to BNP Paribas and Deutsche Bank. But while he worked in what he calls “the inner bowels of the banks,” Samar has always been more attracted to bleeding-edge innovation.

“I was a computer scientist,” he says. “I started my career building trading systems at Goldman in the early 2000s. In the early days of connecting financial markets, it was a really exciting job because they were electronifying and opening up all kinds of asset classes.”

He climbed the corporate ladder to his last post as Global Head of Digital Products at Deutsche Bank, building out the bank’s digital asset strategy before diving into crypto. Samar soon realized the transformative nature of blockchain technology and its potential to disrupt traditional finance.

“Only people who really work on the inside of banking can understand how inefficient some of the tech stacks are,” he confides. I interject fairly quickly, saying, “I think we all understand how inefficient they are.” He concedes that I probably do, since I write about it for a living, but the average person is unaware, gets frustrated, and wonders why it’s so expensive and the experience is so poor.

“They don’t realize that the rails are old and a lot of the old mainframes that run this are not being upgraded. So, when a transformative technology comes along, it solves many problems in finance. Whether it’s the transfer of money like in global remittances or creating new investor products across many different types of assets.”

Samar didn’t want to miss out on the “wave of learning” in the crypto space, so he decided to take a front-row seat in the action and accept a position at Talos.

“I realized that the banks would take a long time to come to market because of the required regulations, tech investments, and internal compliance upskilling, and there was so much fast-growing innovation in digital assets.”

Speaking ‘both sides’, bridging TradFi and crypto

Joining crypto at the end of 2021 was an exciting time with institutions (and their customers) frothing at the mouth to trade its thrilling markets. Many barriers still stood in their way, and gaping voids wider than the Darien Gap existed between TradFi and crypto firms. They didn’t speak “the same language,” and traditional firms entering digital assets missed the professional trading tools they were familiar with in forex and equities.

“I joined a firm that I knew would provide a service that institutions would need if they were going to come in a big way,” Samar explains.

Being so well-versed in TradFi and the emerging crypto ecosystem, Samar was uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between the TradFi suits and the scrappy, crypto-native traders.

“I could speak to both sides at that point because I’d researched the crypto ecosystem for Deutsche. At the same time, I knew what traditional finance needed in terms of professional-grade equipment and tech stacks. For me, it was an easy switch. I saw a gap where I could bring some value.”

Is he glad he did? He nods without hesitation.

“I get to work with very smart computer scientists and quantitative traders, and partner with a lot of traditional firms that are excited about this asset class. They want to work with digital assets, and being a person that helps guide them into that asset class is a role that I’m really enjoying.”

The turning tide, from ‘tulips’ to safe haven

Banks weren’t always in such a hurry to work with crypto, I point out. The great TradFi thaw was once a permafrost. Jamie Dimon compared Bitcoin to tulips. Christine Lagarde smirked over it being “worth nothing,” and Warren Buffett branded Bitcoin as “rat poison squared.”

“Yeah, obviously,” he agrees. “At the beginning, there was a lot of friction. Nobody wanted to work with crypto.”

Samar believes the value proposition wasn’t obvious to institutional investors at the beginning, and then the events that lambasted the industry, from China bans and North Korean hackers to Terra/LUNA and FTX, held it back several years.

“For me, even though there have been ups and downs in crypto, the industry gets more and more resilient. FTX was a setback, but every time the industry fixes its problems, it comes back stronger, more mature, and more regulatory-friendly.

Crypto falls into many different categories. You have speculation, but you also have mature asset classes like Bitcoin, the promise of real-world asset tokenization, and the utility of stablecoins. There are a lot of use cases now that people get very clearly, and many of our clients, especially on the buy side, large asset managers and hedge funds, know now that they need to have a small allocation in their portfolio to Bitcoin or some other digital assets.”

They can’t use their old tech to work on crypto

On the buy side, when institutions reach that point and want to start trading or holding certain types of crypto, they come up against several barriers, Samar explains, the first of which is a lack of uniformity across the board.

“Hedge funds or asset managers have a problem initially with connectivity, where there are no technical communication standards. You have a challenge with how you speak to the market, whether it’s the exchanges or the OTC desks and market makers.”

Professional, institutional-grade tools such as execution management, portfolio and risk management, and treasury systems are the next facilitators they seek.

“When you are a large firm trading $10 million worth of Bitcoin at a time, you can’t go on to a retail exchange and drop that order. You need sophisticated tools to let you work that order so the price doesn’t move against you. We have those algorithmic execution tools that firms recognize, and with one API to us, they can talk to the entire market.”

Talos holds institutions’ hands, from price discovery to execution and settlement, helping them navigate this ecosystem and talk to the different players involved.

“How do you work with the custodians? How do you settle? How do you risk manage these assets? We provide tools around that. This is why we are a bridge because we give a familiar toolkit to the investors, and when they talk to us via API, they can talk to the rest of the market in a way that they’re familiar with.”

On the sell side, existing banks, brokers, e-trading platforms, and investment apps can offer crypto trading to their customers through Talos’ white label solution, enabling them to go to market faster without replacing their existing tech stack.

“All these sell-side providers are now realizing that they need to offer this asset class to their customers, and they realize they have to build a lot of new tech. They can’t use their old tech to work on crypto. So, they need this tech stack that lets them connect to the market, get a low price, and then add the margin for their customers.”

“Some of the largest banks and brokers in the world, as well as some of the largest e-trading investment platforms and custodians, are using our tech to offer their customers the ability to invest in digital assets. And no one knows they’re using our tech. We’re happy to be a silent partner.”

Talos’ pipelines are bigger than ever

I ask Samar how he sees institutional adoption in this part of the world compared to the U.S. and elsewhere. He replies:

“The regions differ for varying reasons. On the regulatory side, some financial hubs are at a more mature stage in their pathway to crypto licensing. In the early days, Switzerland and Japan were leaders, but now you have MiCA in Europe, Singapore and Hong Kong are very strong hubs for crypto, and you have the UAE (Dubai and Abu Dhabi), which have attracted a lot of companies.”

He says the U.S. has been a “laggard” for a long time because the SEC was going after companies with its regulation-by-enforcement approach. The change of administration, he says, has brought about a step change for the industry, and he can’t wait to see how things unfold.

“The world is very excited to see what’s going to happen in the U.S. Many markets follow the U.S. If they say something is okay, they’re going to legitimize it.”

Beyond regulation, he argues that cultural differences play an important role in institutional adoption. He explains that the fintech-friendly Asians skipped bank accounts and went straight to e-banking and instant payments. “They’re very comfortable with crypto and taking risks,” he says.

“In Asia, many investors are comfortable with leverage, comfortable with derivatives, but it’s more about risk-taking. You have a lot of new wealth creation there. When they invest, they don’t want 3% or 4%. They want 8% or 9%. You get that with leverage or more risk-adjusted investments; in Europe, investors are more conservative and it’s often more about wealth preservation. You don’t see structured products as popular there.”

Samar is encouraged by the advent of MiCA and looks forward to seeing growth in Europe, where Talos has many clients. However, he says the real one to watch is the United States.

“What we’re waiting to see is the sleeping giant of the U.S. In the early days, it was mainly only crypto funds that were our clients. Now, we’re seeing large asset managers we’ve onboarded, responsible for a combined AUM of around $18 trillion. You can only imagine those names. They are some of the largest asset managers in the world.”

Is he concerned about geopolitical forces, like a trade war, kinetic war, or threat of an impending recession taking the wind out of crypto’s sales? He pauses for a moment, then says:

“There’s some market uncertainty globally. But none of the crypto heads of divisions or digital asset heads at the banks or asset managers have stopped. They are still onboarding with us. Our pipelines are bigger than they’ve ever been, and our trading volumes are in the billions [USD] per day.”

“The mission at Talos is not about how much money we can make in this current crypto cycle. The thesis is that this technology is transformative and here to stay, and all the banks and investors realize this, so we have built a sustainable business for the long term.”

This seems like a good place to end. As we wrap up the interview and say our goodbyes, Audrey invites me to visit them again, reminding me of the perks of their magic mirror. I smile. Going about your day looking taller and thinner wouldn’t be so bad as you steadily welcome the old guard to the new world of crypto.

As legacy finance embraces the new frontier with the help of a magic mirror, Talos remains a silent force behind the scenes, quietly accelerating institutional crypto adoption, one asset manager at a time.

The Federal Reserve just bought $43.6 billion in US treasuries in the span of a week, sparking concerns that a quiet quantitative easing operation is underway.

New filings show the Fed purchased $8.8 billion in 30-year bonds on May 8th via its System Open Market Account (SOMA) – a move that followed a $34.8 billion purchase earlier that same week.

The move has triggered allegations that “stealth QE” has arrived, with a MarketWatch Op-Ed from Charlie Garcia calling the move “monetary policy on tiptoes.”

The Fed denies the claims, and has long stated such purchases are routine reinvestments of maturing securities to adjust the money supply and influence interest rates to meet its targets.

The Fed’s buying spree follows a major Treasury sell-off from China.

New numbers from the Treasury Department show China sold $18.9 billion in US bonds in March, while most other countries increased their holdings.

China now holds $765.4 billion in US Treasuries and is in third place behind the UK and Japan, which hold $779 billion and $1.13 trillion, respectively.

What just happened? Industry watchers have been closely monitoring signs of rising prices in consumer technology. Thanks to research by YouTuber Cameron Dougherty, we now have clear evidence of price increases in popular PC accessories. Dougherty has done the legwork by analyzing a broad range of Logitech products, reporting price hikes of up to 25 percent on some of the company’s most sought-after keyboards and mice, among other items.

In his video, Dougherty raises questions about the impact of ongoing tariffs and the future affordability of tech gear in the United States. Flagship products such as the Logitech MX Master 3S mouse and the K400 Plus Wireless Touch Keyboard were among those affected. The latter increased in price from $27.99 to $34.99 – a modest $7 jump that nonetheless represents a significant 25 percent rise.

Dougherty’s findings also note that while some products have become more expensive, others have remained stable or even dropped in price. For instance, the G Pro X Superlight mouse dropped from $159.99 to $149.99.

To verify these claims, Tom’s Hardware conducted its own investigation and corroborated several of Dougherty’s observations. For example, the MX Keys S keyboard is now listed at $130 on Logitech’s official website, reflecting an 18 percent increase. The MX Master 3S mouse has climbed 20 percent, from $100 to $120. The K400 Plus Wireless Touch keyboard’s price hike, though smaller in absolute terms, stands out for its percentage jump.

Notably, these increases have not been accompanied by any public announcement from Logitech. Some items have appeared on sale at major retailers like Amazon, but the discounted prices are still higher than historical norms, suggesting a new baseline has been established.

The reasons behind these changes are complex but appear to be closely tied to the turbulent tariff environment. The Trump administration’s tariffs on imported goods, especially those from China, have sent ripples through the tech industry.

Many manufacturers, including Logitech, rely heavily on Chinese production, leaving them particularly vulnerable to these policy shifts. Earlier this month, Logitech withdrew its financial forecast for the upcoming fiscal year, explicitly citing ongoing uncertainty around tariffs as a driving factor.

While some tariffs have been temporarily paused, those on Chinese imports remain steep, forcing companies to navigate a landscape of unpredictable costs and supply chain disruptions.

Logitech is not alone in adjusting its pricing. Other brands, such as accessory maker Anker which is based in China, have also raised prices on products like chargers, with reported increases of around 18 percent.

Industry experts caution that these adjustments may not be the last, as manufacturers continue to adapt to evolving trade policies and the potential for further escalation in the U.S.-China trade dispute.

Major investors are secretly acquiring a little-known cryptocurrency priced under a dollar, expecting a major surge this summer. Holders of Solana and Cardano are turning their attention to this altcoin, anticipating a massive increase in value. The market whispers suggest a potential for extraordinary returns, and early movers are positioning themselves before the spotlight hits.

Price Prediction for XYZVerse ($XYZ): Is a 30x Jump Possible?

XYZVerse has entered the meme coin market at a time when community-driven tokens continue to dominate speculative trading. The rise of meme coins like PEPE, Dogwifhat, and Bonk proves that strong branding, viral marketing, and community engagement can drive massive gains.

The broader market sentiment also plays a key role in XYZVerse’s potential. As the altcoin season is about to start, lower-cap meme coins are seeing increased investor interest. Given that XYZVerse is still in presale, it could benefit from this wave if it secures strategic exchange listings and maintains community hype post-launch.

Key Strengths of XYZVerse in the Current Market:

  • Strong branding with sports and influencer partnerships, broadening its appeal
  • Deflationary mechanics (17.13% token burn) to reduce supply pressure
  • Liquidity allocation (15%) to support stability after launch
  • Community incentives (10%) fostering engagement and holding

Price Prediction for $XYZ

  • Current Presale Price: $0.003333
  • Projected Post-Presale Target: $0.10 (as per project’s estimates)
  • Potential ATH (First 1-2 Weeks Post-Launch): $0.15 – $0.25 (if demand surges and listings drive FOMO)
  • Long-Term Potential (6-12 Months): $0.20 – $0.40 (if the project secures major partnerships and listings)

Buy $XYZ Early to Increase Its Profit Potential

Realistic Expectations: Will XYZ Hit $0.10?

A 30x jump from presale to $0.10 is possible but depends on:

  • Strong Exchange Listings – If XYZVerse lands on major CEX platforms like KuCoin, OKX, or Binance, its price could skyrocket on launch day.
  • Sustained Community Growth – Meme coins need viral momentum. If XYZVerse delivers on its sports influencer partnerships, it could drive massive social media engagement.
  • Market Conditions – If Bitcoin and altcoins remain bullish, speculation-driven assets like XYZVerse tend to benefit.

Is a 3000% Surge Possible for $XYZ?

XYZVerse has the ingredients for a strong launch, but its long-term success depends on execution. If the team delivers strong marketing, high-profile listings, and real community engagement, the $0.10+ target, which is around 3000% from the current price, could be achievable.

Solana Soars: Exploring the High-Speed Blockchain’s Native Coin, SOL

Solana is a blockchain platform built for speed. It offers a foundation for decentralized apps, much like Ethereum and Cardano. But Solana sets itself apart with fast transactions and support for multiple programming languages. At the heart of this platform is SOL, its native cryptocurrency. SOL is used for transactions, running programs, and rewarding those who support the network.

Unlike some other platforms, Solana doesn’t use sharding or second-layer solutions to scale. Instead, it focuses on a high-capacity network that can handle a lot of activity. This makes it attractive for developers looking to build high-demand services. In the current market, where speed and scalability are key, SOL stands out. While Ethereum faces congestion and high fees, Solana offers a faster alternative. This has caught the attention of investors and developers alike. As the blockchain space evolves, SOL’s role in powering a speedy and flexible platform could make it a significant player.

Cardano’s ADA: The Green Cryptocurrency Transforming the Blockchain Landscape

Cardano is making waves in the cryptocurrency world as a flexible and sustainable blockchain platform. Designed for smart contracts, it allows developers to create decentralized finance apps, digital tokens, and games. Its native cryptocurrency, ADA, functions much like Ethereum’s ETH, enabling users to store value, make payments, and stake within the network. What sets Cardano apart is its environmentally friendly approach. By using the Ouroboros proof-of-stake mechanism, it operates efficiently without the heavy energy consumption associated with traditional proof-of-work models.

Innovatively divided into two layers—the settlement layer for transactions and the computing layer for smart contracts—Cardano boosts its ability to process transactions swiftly.

Bitcoin was closed in February with a shock cut of 17.39%, ranking second in history, with its worst performance since 2014! Last week, BTC wobbled so strongly, it freely fell 18.4% to $78,617 before it turned on. The main reason for this decline is the record trend of Bitcoin ETFs, with weak capital flows exceeding $1.1 billion on February 25th.

Since the bottom of November 2022 after the collapse of FTX, Bitcoin’s price market adjustments are usually in the 18-22% range, but the February decline from the historic peak of $109,590 in January has expanded to 28.3%-1, the strongest decline since the price market closed.

But the tension hasn’t stopped! On March 2nd, Donald Trump unexpectedly announced plans to set up the Crypto Reserve Fund, growing 20% ​​from the local bottom and over 12% in just one day, creating a strong comeback. However, Sell -Off has pulled Bitcoin back to around $92,000. If information about the US Crypto Fund is still unknown, BTC trends over the coming weeks will depend heavily on the macro context, particularly the S&P 500. Without return cash flow, sustainable growth is extremely vulnerable.

The US economic situation continues to face many challenges. Long-term inflation, consumer beliefs have declined and growth slowed – everything is putting pressure on the Fed. PCE data for January shows that inflation rose 2.5% over the same period, exceeding the Fed’s 2% target. Household expenditures decreased after the holidays, but personal income increased by 0.9%, keeping inflationary pressures at a high level. Furthermore, the cost of service and new import taxes could make it difficult for the Fed to cut interest rates in the near future.

Consumer psychology is also at the bottom! The consumer confidence index for February fell to 98.3. This was the strongest decline in 3.5 years. The labor market is not particularly positive, and many people have difficulty finding jobs, and there is little hope of new employment opportunities. The escalation of food and housing and the prices of commercial policies are making people more concerned.

Meanwhile, the US economy grew only 2.3% in the fourth quarter of 2024, but slowed compared to 3.1% in the last quarter. The main cause? Extreme winter weather, reduced retail sales, trade policy. Exports and government spending still support the economy, but consumption and business investment have weakened. The trade deficit reached a record $153.3 billion in January, indicating that the US economy still faces many challenges. Without significant policy adjustments, growth in early 2025 may continue to be pessimistic.

Changes in actual GDP and percentage compared to last quarter

Trump’s announcement of U.S. strategic cryptocurrency reserves will include major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, and then includes an enforcement order in January to clarify restrictions on cryptocurrencies and central bank digital currencies. The move confirmed a major shift in government’s approach to digital assets, and before the White House Script Summit on March 7th, it merged its US position as a global leader in cryptocurrency.

At the same time, MetaMask announced plans to integrate Bitcoin and Solana into their wallets. Users will soon be able to interact with these two networks without any other wallets. Solana – Appears thanks to Memecoin Fever – Supported in May, Bitcoin is expected to be available in the third quarter of 2024.

The SEC has confirmed that most Memecoins do not fall under federal securities laws, as they do not generate income or rely on centralized management. But if any project pretends to Memecoin to avoid the law or show signs of fraud, the SEC still handles it. This helps to clarify regulations, but also highlights the risks of the “chicken” project.

Meanwhile, the SEC will delay the decision to allow Cboe to list options agreements for Ethereum ETFs, and will advance a decision in May similar to the requirements for BlackRock’s Ishares Ethereum Trust’s Nasdaq ISE. Since mid-2024, it has collected over $11 billion in net worth.

Wishing you a lucrative trading week!
