Major Worldwide News Update:
1. The US government recently transferred over $2 billion worth of Bitcoin (BTC) seized from the Silk Road, moving approximately 29,800 BTC in two transactions.
This follows previous transfers of 237 BTC and 60 BTC in July, causing market unrest. This action comes after the Bitcoin Conference 2024, where Donald Trump announced plans to hold BTC.
2. In an interview on July 29, BlackRock CIO Samara Cohen stated that BlackRock is not pursuing a Solana ETF or other crypto ETFs due to technical difficulties and low demand.
While Bitcoin and Ethereum meet their criteria, other assets do not. Cohen also mentioned that crypto ETFs could be part of model portfolios by the end of 2024.
3. Peter Schiff predicts that the US government, under President Biden, will sell all its Bitcoin holdings following a recent $2 billion transfer of Bitcoin seized from Silk Road.
Schiff suggests this move aims to prevent a potential Trump presidency from using the Bitcoin as a strategic reserve. The transfer has stirred market speculation about future Bitcoin volatility and government policy on digital assets.
4. WazirX is facing backlash following a controversial July 27 poll on its Withdrawal Management Programme, deemed misleading after a $230 million hack. Critics argue the poll’s options were unfair and potentially illegal.
WazirX co-founder Nischal Shetty clarified it was non-binding and intended for feedback. The exchange is working on recovery efforts, including bounty programs and legal consultations.
5. Two artists, Brian Frye and Jonathon Mann, have sued the SEC seeking clarity on whether NFTs fall under its jurisdiction. Their lawsuit questions if artists must register NFTs and disclose risks before selling.
They argue that treating NFTs as securities would be absurd, likening it to classifying Taylor Swift’s concert tickets as such. The lawsuit seeks relief from SEC enforcement actions.
