In this episode, we start with an introduction to the new Bitcoin and Ethereum trust spinoffs. We dive into the impact and details of Grayscale's latest spinoffs, including expected fees and tax advantages for shareholders. The discussion then shifts to Cboe listing spot Ethereum ETFs and the SEC approval process. We cover Binance's court-approved investments in treasury bills and delve into Tether's treasury holdings, discussing the broader implications for stablecoins. Finally, we explore Binance's interactions with traditional finance before wrapping up the episode.
