Analysis: Satoshi-era whales selling BTC sparks widespread debate over Bitcoin's ideological direction

PANews July 27 news, according to CoinDesk, Galaxy Digital disclosed this weekend that it had facilitated a $9 billion Bitcoin transaction for a Satoshi-era investor, totaling more than 80,000 coins. The company said the transaction was one of the largest nominal BTC transactions to date. Cryptocurrency analyst Scott Melker believes that the confidence of many early whale investors has been shaken and they choose to sell at the current market price. This comment has sparked heated debate among cryptocurrency industry influencers and traders. Some people pointed out that selling Bitcoin does not necessarily mean that investors have given up long-term holding of the asset. For example, Adam Back is still increasing his holdings of BTC. However, as Bitcoin is increasingly absorbed by traditional financial markets through ETFs, corporate funds and custody solutions, the crypto community is worried that Bitcoin has deviated from its cypherpunk roots.

SEC clears framework for fast-tracked crypto ETF listings
The post SEC clears framework for fast-tracked crypto ETF listings appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Securities and Exchange Commission has approved new generic listing standards for spot crypto exchange-traded funds, clearing the way for faster approvals. Summary SEC has greenlighted new generic listing standards for spot crypto ETFs. Rule change eliminates lengthy case-by-case approvals, aligning crypto ETFs with commodity funds. Grayscale’s Digital Large Cap Fund and Bitcoin ETF options also gain approval. The U.S. SEC has approved new generic listing standards that will allow exchanges to fast-track spot crypto ETFs, marking a pivotal shift in U.S. digital asset regulation. According to a Sept. 17 press release, the SEC voted to approve rule changes from Nasdaq, NYSE Arca, and Cboe BZX, enabling them to list and trade commodity-based trust shares, including those holding spot digital assets, without submitting individual proposals for each product. A streamlined path for crypto ETFs Under the new rules, an ETF can be listed without SEC sign-off if its underlying asset trades on a market with surveillance-sharing agreements, has active CFTC-regulated futures contracts for at least six months, or already represents at least 40% of an existing listed ETF. This brings crypto ETFs in line with traditional commodity-based funds under Rule 6c-11, eliminating a process that could take up to 240 days.
