The Real Reason For VanEck’s Bitcoin ETF Withdrawal

The whole cryptocurrency community has been waiting for a SEC approved Bitcoin ETF.

There had been many applications before but none was able to convince the SEC to approve them.

Many believe that the Bitcoin ETF that has the best chance of being approved was VanEck’s application to be traded on the CBOE exchange.

However, in a sudden turn of events the company withdraw their application citing the current government shutdown has affected their application.

However some pundits believe that the real reason of their withdrawal is because the company knew that they would probably get denied in their current application.

The government’s shutdown was just a convenient excuse for the company to withdraw its application as it is better to withdraw than get rejected which is bad press.

The company however expressed their intent of to apply in the future which it hopes will be a better timing to re-file its application.

The price of bitcoin did not react to the latest news despite the vital significance of the initiative.

It might be a sign that retail investors are becoming more sophisticated and do not easily affected with such developments.

Binance Will Support Hardware Wallets

One of the largest crypto exchange in the world by trade volume, Binance has recently released an update on the development of its planned Decentralized Exchange.

According to its CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) their soon-to-be released DEX will support hardware wallets immediately once it launches.

He took to twitter stating that Binance will support hardware wallets from day one of launch ensuring the private keys of its users will never leave their device.The young executive did not mention which hardware wallets will be supported but it is expected that the new DEX will support all the major cryptocurrency hardware such as Ledger, Trezor and KeepKey.

Users of BInance have been eagerly awaiting the release of the exchange since it was revealed last year.

CZ also states that he sees the new decentralized exchange to replace the existing centralized exchange of Binance.

Decentralized has gained much attention from the crypto community for the past few months due to the prospect of trading with one’s own private keys and digital assets never leaving the custody of their owners.

There is also hope that users will be able to skirt KYC but it seems that this is unrealistic at least in the U.S. where the SEC have already warned decentralized exchanges to comply with relevant legislation.

Crypto Investors Says No One Needs Bitcoin ETF And Bakkt

A passionate crypto believer and investor took to twitter to air what he thinks of bitcoin.

According toJason Smith, Bitcoin is non-inflationary and is pure digital money.

He explains that it is being used in places where users do not want to use fiat or any government issued Medium of Exchange.

He claims that Dream Market, a darknet-based market, merchants does not intend to liquidate their digital assets for U.S. dollars.

Smith also states that bitcoin does not need a fully regulated exchange-traded-fund nor a Wall Street-centri platform like Bakkt to ignite mass adoption.

What the ecosystem needs for widespread adoption is grassroot effort and the rise of government sponsored capital controls.

However not everyone agrees his view. According to Dan Held, the former product manager at Blockchain Company, Bitcoins reason for existence is to be an alternative to banks or a transaction settlement layer rather than digital form of cash.

He adds that pushing it as merely digital cash is counterproductive.
