SEC主席罕见松口:现货以太坊ETF上市速度将取决于发行人!

jin10Published on 2024-06-13Last updated on 2024-06-13

美国证交会(SEC)主席根斯勒周三表示,对于与加密货币以太坊挂钩的现货ETF何时开始交易,在很大程度上取决于发行人对SEC询问的回应速度。

SEC上月批准了纳斯达克、芝加哥期权交易所和纽约证交所上市现货以太坊ETF的申请。对于加密货币行业来说,这是一个意外的胜利,该行业曾预计,在与监管机构举行会议后,SEC会拒绝这些申请。

在ETF开始交易之前,SEC仍必须批准ETF发行人的注册声明,其中详细说明了投资者的信息披露。这一过程通常涉及ETF发行人和SEC官员之间的大量往来。

他说,“这些注册人都会主动对收到的意见作出回应,但回应的程度如何,实际上取决于他们自己。”根斯勒拒绝透露他认为这个过程需要几周还是几个月的时间。

根斯勒和SEC官员此前并未就SEC为何态度大转弯、批准现货以太坊ETF的申请发表评论,但他周三表示,去年灰度提起的诉讼迫使SEC在1月份批准了现货比特币ETF,这影响了SEC对以太坊的看法。

灰度当时成功地辩称,SEC此前批准了与比特币期货挂钩的ETF,因此它也应该批准现货比特币ETF,因为比特币期货价格与现货价格高度相关。

根斯勒表示,这些案例是相似的,因为期货以太坊ETF自去年以来一直在交易。SEC工作人员“查看了这些文件,查看了各种相关性……这种相关性与比特币领域的相关性相对相似。”

在去年法院做出对灰度有利的裁决后,SEC于今年1月批准了现货比特币ETF。根斯勒当时在一份声明中承认了法院的决定,并补充说他认为批准这些产品是“最可持续的前进道路”。

十年来,SEC一直拒绝比特币ETF。根斯勒说,“但法院却做出了相反的裁决。我们进行了调整。”

不过,他补充说,他仍然认为加密货币领域“充斥着欺诈、骗局和冲突”。

A Hard-Fought Battle to Defend Par Value: STRC Drifts Further Away from $100

STRC, the dividend-paying stock issued by Michael Saylor's bitcoin reserve firm Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), is trading far below its intended $100 par value, closing recently at $80.84. With a key dividend snapshot date approaching, Saylor aims to pull the price back to $100, as per SEC filings stating the company's goal to stabilize the stock near that level. The situation is complicated by the June volume-weighted average price (VWAP) falling below $95, triggering an internal rule that mandates the next dividend increase to be at least double the standard 0.25% per cycle, potentially pushing the annualized dividend yield to 12%. However, attracting buyers with this higher yield faces challenges: the payout is spread over 24 bi-monthly installments, the board can alter or suspend dividends at any time, and there is no guarantee against further price declines. Beyond raising dividends, Strategy has limited tools to boost the stock. These include direct share buybacks (never utilized), halting new share issuances above $100 (which currently cap the price), selling ordinary MSTR shares to build a cash buffer for dividends (with limited effect so far), or announcing special shareholder benefits. Historically, STRC has reclaimed the $100 mark, such as in October last year, driven by a combination of dividend fulfillment, a rate hike, and a pause in share sales. The core question remains how much cost and effort Strategy is willing to bear to attract the necessary buying pressure to restore the $100 par value.

Fable 5 is about to make a comeback, code exposed? Anthropic CEO kicked out of the White House

Fable 5, a previously restricted AI model from Anthropic, appears poised for a comeback. Evidence from leaked code in the Claude Code v2.1.190 version suggests a shift in its business model from a separate purchase to a potentially limited weekly usage allowance within standard Claude subscriptions. Furthermore, the model has reportedly reappeared in Amazon Bedrock documentation. This potential revival coincides with significant internal changes at Anthropic. According to a report by The Wired, CEO Dario Amodei was reportedly sidelined from negotiations with the Trump administration over Fable 5's export restrictions. Government officials found him difficult to communicate with. Co-founder Tom Brown and policy head Sarah Heck took over discussions, leading to more productive technical talks aimed at addressing White House security concerns about the model being "jailbroken." External pressure is mounting as a bipartisan group of US lawmakers has demanded answers from the Commerce Department by a June 26 deadline regarding the criteria and timeline for potentially reinstating public access to Fable 5. The potential return of Fable 5 comes as competitors OpenAI and Google have reportedly delayed their own major model releases. If Anthropic successfully navigates the government's security review, Fable 5 could gain a significant "safety-certified" advantage in the enterprise market. The countdown to the June 26 deadline is now underway.
