The reason we don't have a Bitcoin spot ETF in the US is because that would have allowed retail to front run the private Bitcoin fund Blackrock has for their clients
Wow that is a pretty amazing video coming from the head of the biggest asset manager on the planet. And I will add one that was very skeptical of bitcoin and had negative things to say about it just a few short years ago. Smart people keep an open mind.
And I think his comments about the market being relatively thin and small compared to other markets is totally fair. Also his comment that we need to see bitcoin go through more macrocycles such as our current rising interest rate cycle, something that bitcoin has never seen before, is important. All fair caveats to a generally positive view.
Well, the Ukraine Government war-relief charity funds will take BTC (and Ethereum) donations. To my knowledge I don't know any that easily are able to take Hong Kong IPOs, but it may be possible somehow over-the-counter with them? Did you check?
