I'm back today; I'd been resting for a while. My father passed away about ten days ago. We were very close. I knew this day would come; his health had been deteriorating, but that didn't lessen my grief. However, his life was fulfilling, and we had recently spent many wonderful times together, which gives me some comfort.

Last week I wrote about the S&P 500 index rebalancing, which will take place today. Vertiv ($VRT), Lumentum ($LITE), Coherent ($COHR), and EchoStar ($SATS) will all be added to the index today. The vast majority of trading will occur around the close. Vertiv saw buying pressure 27 times its average daily trading volume. On the other hand, Molin ($MOH), Match ($MTCH), Paycom ($PAYC), and Lamb Weston ($LW) will be removed. These four companies will skip the mid-cap index and go directly to the S&P Small Cap index. We have a tool on our dashboard to view potential additions and removals to the S&P 500 index; Bloomberg terminal users can find this tool through BI ETFS .

Chuck Norris was the only person to double-spend Bitcoin. Rest in peace.

Thanks to @NateGeraci for inviting me to the latest episode of @ETFPrime, which we recorded live at the exchange earlier this week. This episode was packed with insightful content, featuring valuable perspectives from Wes Crill of Dimensional Fund Advisors and my two ETF enthusiasts, @MurphyCinthia and @JSeyff. I recommend listening to the show and analyzing Amazon packages during your weekend breaks—at least that's what I'm planning!

Morgan Stanley's launch of its own spot Bitcoin ETF is a significant signal. James Seifert (@JSeyff) will be a guest on the show to discuss the following: – Why this is crucial for institutional investors – The risk tolerance of ETF holders – The trend of macroeconomic shift towards real assets – The future direction of the ETF market

I'm sorry, but this microserver incident was absolutely terrible, though some parts were quite hilarious. They actually used a hairdryer to transfer the serial number of a real server to a fake server, then threw it into a warehouse, and it was all caught on camera.

Leaving Las Vegas. Not missing it at all. To be clear, this is just a place near where I live. I certainly didn't live in one of those dilapidated houses fenced off with a beat-up motorcycle parked in front, haha.

I covered the Terra crash. I also covered the FTX crash. To be honest, that Vanity Fair article about cryptocurrency was probably more destructive 😅

Today🚨: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (hereinafter referred to as the "Commission") released an explanatory document clarifying the scope of federal securities laws regarding crypto-assets. This is an important step forward for the Commission in addressing the issue of crypto-assets and will help raise public awareness of the matter. Click here to read the full press release:

Watch the @ETFPrime podcast recorded live at @exchangeETF, featuring guests including @NateGeraci, @MurphyCinthia, @JSeyff, and @MstarBenJohnson, all wearing sunglasses. Applause erupted when Nate wasn't the first to mention cryptocurrency.
