Grayscale has expanded the ability for investors to deliver crypto in exchange for ETF shares…
Here’s the approx minimum $$$ amount of each crypto needed to do this.
This space is evolving *quickly*.
BlackRock files for btc buffer ETF…
iShares Bitcoin Managed Protection ETF
They just launched iShares Bitcoin Premium Income ETF in June.
Also launched iShares Staked Ethereum ETF back in February.
Still shocked they’re sitting out on spot ETFs for sol, xrp, hype, etc.
Would have expected a crypto index ETF at a minimum.
BlackRock clearly has high conviction in only sticking w/ btc & eth.
For now.
BREAKING🚨 @BlackRock just filed for another Bitcoin ETF. This one will be a "buffer" Bitcoin ETF which will means it will offer downside protection but investors will give up some upside to get that protection. Ticker will be $PBIT.
I don’t know who needs to hear this…
But AI is the quintessential commodity.
It’s hardware, code, electricity, & data.
All easily replicated.
Will grind toward the marginal cost of production.
If you want to say data is a moat, the problem is that current AI models will easily assimilate any new data by the time you can blink your eyes.
I think of AI like a utility.
Brian Daly, Director of the Division of Investment Management at the SEC, joined me on @ETFPrime to offer a brief update on novel ETFs…
Back in June, the SEC requested public comment on ETFs “seeking to invest in innovative asset classes or engage in novel investment strategies.”
This includes products such as prediction market ETFs, crypto ETFs, & leveraged products.
Brian talks about the rapid pace of ETF innovation, the SEC’s role, and what comes next in this process.
Quick hit on today’s @HalftimeReport to talk bond ETF flows & managed futures ETFs w/ @TheDomino... cnbc.com/video/2026/10/12/et…
Barron’s, which might be *the* tradfi publication, is running a cover story on tokenization…
Some quotes:
“Crypto technology is moving from the fringes toward the center of finance, whether or not legislators approve.”
“This is a watershed moment.”
“I would hope that Wall Street as Wall Street still exists, but it will have to do business differently.”
“The goal of tokenized equity is to move the markets to an always-on economy.”
“Tokenization will represent the biggest upgrade to our financial system since we moved from paper to electronic trading.”
If you still can’t see that financial markets are heading toward full tokenization, not sure what to tell you at this point.

Ripple “has emerged as a serious player in providing swap financing to leveraged ETFs”…
Explosive growth of leveraged & highly concentrated ETFs, which rely on swaps for exposure, is bringing new counterparties into the fold.
Like Ripple.
Lucrative business if you’re properly setup to manage it (& its associated risks).
Expect more “alternative” swap counterparties as balance sheets get tapped out on traditional options.
That’s how fast this corner of ETFs is growing.

Best college basketball player I’ve ever seen live until Peterson was Kevin Durant…
If he stays healthy, Peterson will easily be multi-time all-star & hall of fame material.
Calling it now.
Seriously an unreal talent.
S&P 500 hit record high today…
Meanwhile, less than half of stocks in the index closed above their 200-day moving average.
Something to watch.

Another data point to keep an eye on…
