Resumo

GSR, an institutional crypto trading platform, has launched its first crypto exchange-traded fund, the Crypto Core3 ETF (BESO), which began trading on Nasdaq. The fund provides exposure to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana and offers staking yields, along with a dynamic allocation strategy to maximize returns. On its first trading day, BESO saw approximately $4.8 million in activity. The ETF charges a 1% management fee and will rebalance its allocations weekly based on research-driven signals. GSR, founded by ex-Goldman Sachs traders, aims to reach more investors through this entry into the crypto ETF market, which has seen growing interest from major financial firms like Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs.

On Wednesday, GSR, an institutional crypto trading platform, debuted its first crypto exchange-traded fund, and on the first day of trading, the fund saw approximately $5 million in activity.

Bold Entry into the Crypto ETF Industry

Wednesday, GSR announced that its Crypto Core3 ETF (BESO) will be offering staking incentives in addition to tracking the current prices of Bitcoin, Ether, and Solana. The 1% management fee fund will use a “dynamic allocation strategy” to maximize returns, according to a separate post by GSR on X.

According to statistics from Nasdaq, on the first day of trading, 185,574 shares of BESO were sold for about $4.8 million. After hours, the fund’s value increased from $26.04 to $33. A number of Wall Street businesses have either already created or have indicated their desire to launch a cryptocurrency exchange-traded fund (ETF), coinciding with GSR’s market introduction.

Morgan Stanley is one among them; since its April 8 debut, the spot Bitcoin ETF has received net inflows totaling $163.8 million. Investors may receive passive income and perhaps profit from Bitcoin’s price increase with Goldman Sachs’ Bitcoin Premium Income ETF, which was filed for on April 14th.

Cristian Gil and Richard Rosenblum, two ex-traders for Goldman Sachs, launched GSR in 2013, making it a leading crypto market maker. According to Xin Song, CEO of GSR, the firm aimed to reach more investors by entering the crypto ETF industry.

BESO’s Bitcoin, Ether, and Solana allocations will be rebalanced weekly according to research-driven signals that aim to achieve further returns, according to GSR. On Wednesday, GSR released a model portfolio research that showed the optimal distribution of cryptocurrencies. Ether and Solana dominated with 51.4% and 41.67% of the total, while Bitcoin had a lower place with 6.93%.

Within Strategy's Framework, STRC's Dividend Yield Remains at 12% as Share Price Stays Below Par Value

Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy (MSTR), confirmed that the dividend rate for its STRC perpetual preferred shares will remain at 12.00% through August 2026. The rate has increased from 9% at its July 2025 launch to the current high via a "ratchet" mechanism, which permanently raises the rate by 0.5% whenever the share price falls below $95. This mechanism is intended to push the price back toward its $100 par value and support Strategy's "at-the-market" (ATM) program for issuing new shares to fund Bitcoin purchases. However, the mechanism has not worked as intended. STRC shares closed at $89.46 on July 31, remaining about 10-11% below par value despite the record-high dividend. Competition from rival Strive's higher-yielding SATA securities has pressured demand. The persistent discount has forced Strategy to suspend new STRC issuances via its ATM program, limiting this funding channel for Bitcoin acquisitions. STRC's struggles reflect Bitcoin's own volatility, as the preferred shares historically move in tandem. Analysts have warned the ratchet structure carries long-term, one-way risk. A law firm is investigating Strategy's ability to maintain dividend payments if Bitcoin's price stays low. Retail investors own roughly 83% of outstanding STRC shares, a group seen as prone to panic selling during downturns. In response, Strategy has established financial reserves, including a liquidity cushion covering about 26 months of dividend/interest obligations, and a $2 billion share buyback program alongside a Bitcoin monetization framework, though the company emphasized it is not obligated to sell any Bitcoin.

Analyst: Bitcoin's Price Will Drop to $60k in August, Then Rebound to $70k

Financial analyst Andrey Poroshin has provided a new forecast for Bitcoin's price dynamics in August. Poroshin, an analyst at the Bitbanker exchange, expects the cryptocurrency market to experience a downturn this month, with prices retesting the $60,000 level due to a lack of supportive macroeconomic catalysts. He noted that the recent US Federal Reserve decision to hold interest rates did not significantly impact the market, while inflation remains above the 2% target. Poroshin stated that Bitcoin is ending July under pressure from moderate volatility and a lack of new macroeconomic stimuli, leading to continued market caution. According to his base scenario, Bitcoin will drop to a range of $60,000 to $62,000 before recovering to $70,000. He pointed out that even $70,000 remains below the cost of mining in the US, which has prompted some miners to shift towards AI data center operations. Poroshin cited the winding down of BitMEX's operations as a potential catalyst for a price rebound, suggesting the exit of weaker players often coincides with market reversals and reduced short-term selling pressure. He believes Bitcoin is currently less susceptible to geopolitical shocks, such as the Iran-US conflict, and does not expect significant market changes in August related to the pending CLARITY Act. Looking ahead, Poroshin forecasts that September will bring more active price fluctuations driven by potential Fed rate decisions and possible discussions or approval of the CLARITY Act.
