DRW инвестирует в крипто-ETF около $200 млн

Acryptoinvest.news: Венчурное подразделение чикагской компании высокочастотной торговли DRW Holdings сообщило, что в настоящее время оно владеет криптовалютными биржевыми фондами на сумму не менее 195 миллионов долларов, включая более 150 миллионов долларов в Grayscale Ethereum Trust, что, вероятно, является его первым опытом выхода на биржу, согласно последней форме 13F, поданной в Комиссию по ценным бумагам и биржам США.

SEC одобрила первую партию спотовых ETF эфира, которые начнут торговаться в июле, примерно через шесть месяцев после запуска спотовых ETF биткоина. И хотя спотовые ETF биткоина заработали миллиарды долларов чистого притока — благодаря сочетанию институтов и розничных трейдеров — фонды на основе Ethereum пока не привлекли столько же интереса.

Выход DRW на рынок ETH ETF может сигнализировать о растущем институциональном аппетите ко второй по величине криптовалюте по рыночной капитализации. Фирма держит в три раза больше ETH ETF, чем BTC ETF — фактически, инструмент Grayscale ETHE представляет собой его третий по величине актив после фонда, отслеживающего S&P 500 и золотого траста.

Воздействие фирмы на BTC ETF также менее сконцентрировано среди какого-либо конкретного фонда. Она держит биткоин-продукты, выпущенные Ark и 21Shares, Bitwise, BlackRock, Fidelity и Proshares, последний из которых является ее крупнейшим биткоин-ориентированным холдингом.

DRW все больше вовлекается в криптовалютную индустрию по крайней мере с 2018 года. Например, его криптоориентированное маркетмейкерское подразделение Cumberland было задействовано в качестве поставщика ликвидности для ряда биткоин-ETF. Cumberland также недавно получил одобрение на «BitLicense» от Департамента финансовых услуг штата Нью-Йорк.

Valuation of $8 Billion, Up 200% in 8 Months! What's Behind Crypto-Friendly Bank Erebor Bank's Rise?

Erebor Bank, a digital bank founded by Palmer Luckey and backed by Peter Thiel, is in talks for new funding at a target valuation of $8 billion, double its $4.35 billion valuation from December. This surge is driven by explosive deposit growth, which soared from $1.1 billion in March to approximately $4.05 billion within a quarter, alongside adding nearly 400 new clients. The bank, launched in February 2026, holds a full national bank charter from the OCC, a strategic choice to avoid reliance on partner banks. It aims to serve tech startups, defense contractors, and crypto-native businesses, addressing gaps left by Silicon Valley Bank's collapse. Core promises include lending against non-traditional assets like hardware, offering 24/7 settlement, and integrating stablecoin services with traditional banking. It has already enabled stablecoin deposits and withdrawals on the Sui network. However, its current financials show minimal lending activity and a net loss, with high liquidity in cash and securities. The valuation hinges on future potential to monetize deposits through lending and crypto services. The bank's experienced management team includes veterans from Wells Fargo and crypto compliance firms. Risks are significant. Its concentrated customer base and exposure to volatile sectors like crypto and venture capital echo SVB's vulnerabilities. Its entire model depends on continued regulatory favor towards digital assets, which could shift. Erebor represents a high-profile experiment at the intersection of banking, crypto, and industrial policy, with its execution and market demand yet to be fully proven.

$8 Billion Valuation, 2x Growth in 8 Months! What Makes Crypto-Friendly Bank Erebor Bank So Special?

Erebor Bank, a crypto-friendly U.S. bank founded by Palmer Luckey, is reportedly in talks for a new funding round targeting a valuation of at least $8 billion, double its $4.35 billion valuation from December. Despite being operational for only a few months, its rapid growth—deposits surged from $1.1 billion in March to approximately $4.05 billion within a quarter, adding nearly 400 clients—has attracted investor interest. The bank aims to fill the void left by Silicon Valley Bank's collapse, targeting startups and businesses with non-traditional assets like defense contracts and digital tokens. Its strategy involves holding its own banking license to offer services like stablecoin deposits, payments, and 24/7 on-chain settlement. While digital assets are a core long-term focus, recent growth has been driven more by financing for U.S. manufacturing and defense sectors. Erebor's leadership combines Luckey's tech/defense background with a seasoned financial team. It received a national bank charter from the OCC in early 2026, benefiting from a favorable regulatory climate for digital assets. However, the bank faces significant risks, including reliance on a concentrated client base, exposure to crypto market volatility, potential regulatory shifts, and the unproven demand for its integrated banking model. Investors are betting on its future potential to monetize deposits through lending and crypto services, despite current losses typical for a new bank.
