Expand Breaking News: The Hidden "Silent Kill Switch" in Your $BTC ETF They told you it was safe. They told you it was secure. But they never told you the terms that allowed them to sever the agreement. This isn't a market prediction. This is a structural revelation. Veto power. The SEC filing explicitly states that BlackRock, Fidelity, and other ETF sponsors have "good faith" discretion to decide which Bitcoin chain is "valid" in the event of a fork. Your sovereignty upgrade? It could be orphaned. Stranded. Overturned by compliance officers and rendered irrelevant. Concentration. Currently, ETF custodians control 1.35 million BTC, or 6.8% of the total circulating supply. Coinbase alone holds 81%. Projections suggest this concentration will reach 15-20% by 2030. At that threshold, their veto power will become absolute. Precedent. History has not been kind to those who stay behind. The Ethereum DAO fork in 2016 orphaned the original ETC chain, leaving approximately 16-20% of nodes. The Bitcoin Cash forks in 2017 and 2018 did the same, isolating approximately 17% of participants. These were voluntary forks. The ETF veto is an involuntary split. The future is frozen. This isn't about price, but protocol rigidity. Upgrades to privacy, scalability, or post-quantum security (which could pose a threat by 2030-2035) could be blocked to meet regulatory compliance. Bitcoin's core innovation risks being frozen at the technological level of 2017. We are witnessing a great speciation: a compliant, sanitized "BlackRock Bitcoin" and a sovereign, pure "original Bitcoin." Your fungible asset may soon become two different things. The greatest paradox in financial history is unfolding: decentralized assets are being controlled by their own investment vehicles. The ultimate trade is no longer long or short. It's self-custody versus custody capture. Time is running out, and concentration is rising. This is the red pill. Take it. Watch for next: Custody concentration breaks 10%. The first test of controversial upgrades like OP_CAT. Your move.

Expand COINBASE AND AMEX TO LAUNCH A BITCOIN REWARDS CREDIT CARD IN THE US - CoinDesk reports that @Coinbase is partnering with American Express to launch a new Bitcoin rewards credit card in the US later this year. - Designed for Bitcoin purists, the card blends traditional finance with crypto philosophies. A card inspired by Bitcoin's founding moment - The Coinbase American Express card is embedded with data from the Genesis Block—the first Bitcoin block created by Satoshi Nakamoto on January 3, 2009. - This block is more than just technical history; it also conveys a message from a New York Times headline: - "Chancellor About to Bail Out Banks for a Second Time." - It's a silent protest against central banks and the 2008 financial crisis. - The card's design pays homage to this moment, featuring hexadecimal code from the Genesis Block. Exclusive Access and Rewards - The Coinbase One American Express card will be available exclusively to Coinbase One subscribers (the company's paid members). - Cardholders can earn up to 4% cash back in Bitcoin, with rewards based on the amount of Bitcoin held and account tier. Other benefits include: - No foreign transaction fees - Repayments through a linked bank account or cryptocurrency balance - Participation in American Express offers and promotions - Coinbase also clarified that Bitcoin rewards earned through purchases will not appear on a 1099 tax form, but may still be taxable if the rewards are later sold. - Coinbase One will launch the card in fall 2025, driven by growing institutional interest in Bitcoin, driven by spot ETFs and the increasing use of cryptocurrency payments in mainstream commerce.

Expand SBI Crypto was hacked for $21 million, with the funds laundered through Tornado Cash. The theft, initially discovered by independent blockchain analyst ZachXBT, involved suspicious outflows from multiple wallets associated with SBI. On-chain data showed that funds from these wallets were systematically stolen in a series of coordinated transactions. The stolen wallets contained a variety of assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dogecoin, and Bitcoin Cash. Following the theft, these assets were rapidly transferred between five instant exchanges in an effort to fragment and obscure the flow of funds. The funds were then transferred to Tornado Cash, a well-known cryptocurrency mixer. Notably, investigators have stated that this tactic mirrors past cyberattacks by North Korean groups.

Expand Grayscale Files for Hedera, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash ETFs - Grayscale has expanded its ETF portfolio, filing three new applications with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The asset manager filed an S-1 for a Hedera ETF and an S-3 for converting its Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash Trusts into ETFs. - This move mirrors Grayscale's strategy for its Bitcoin and Ethereum Trusts, which were converted into spot ETFs in 2024. - The goal is to make altcoins more accessible to investors through regulated exchanges like NYSE Arca and Nasdaq. - Nasdaq filed a 19b-4 earlier this year to list Hedera for ETFs. The applications for Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash are based on the proposed Generic Listing Standards, which are still awaiting approval from the SEC. Grayscale isn't alone. Anticipating broader regulatory approval for a Litecoin ETF, other issuers, including Fidelity and VanEck, are also preparing to launch altcoin ETFs. Bloomberg analysts James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas previously noted that Litecoin holds the highest odds among altcoin ETF candidates. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has yet to approve any new products. But if regulators give the green light, investors could soon gain mainstream exposure to Hedera, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash, alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum.
