21Shares files for spot Sei ETF

The post 21Shares files for spot Sei ETF appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. 21Shares today filed a form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, seeking to register the 21Shares Sei ETF, a trust offering direct exposure to SEI, the Sei Network’s native token. The filing names Coinbase Custody Trust Company as the ETF’s custodian, with Coinbase, Inc. acting as prime broker. Net asset value would be calculated using the CF SEI-Dollar Reference Rate — New York Variant, published by CF Benchmarks, which aggregates prices across multiple spot venues to ensure transparency and reduce reliance on any single market feed. The filing also allows for discretionary staking of SEI if regulators and tax authorities determine it would not compromise compliance. 21Shares is a crypto-native ETP provider that pioneered the world’s first physically-backed crypto exchange-traded product (ETP) — dubbed “HODL” — on the SIX Swiss Exchange.  By the end of 2024, it was one of the largest global issuers of crypto ETPs with 44 listed products in numerous currencies. The company raised funding in 2022 at a valuation of around $2 billion and is now part of the 21.co Group. If approved, the Sei ETF would join bitcoin and ether ETFs already trading, alongside pending SEC applications for Solana and XRP. This is a developing story.

Real Estate Firm’s Stock Spikes After Revealing First Publicly Traded Chainlink Treasury

Real Estate Firm’s Stock Spikes After Revealing First Publicly Traded Chainlink Treasury

The post Real Estate Firm’s Stock Spikes After Revealing First Publicly Traded Chainlink Treasury appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Caliber, a publicly traded real estate asset management firm, is starting a Chainlink treasury. The firm will use cash reserves and existing access to capital to acquire LINK. CWD shares jumped nearly 60% on Thursday as the price of LINK itself rose 2.5%. Caliber, a publicly traded real estate asset management company, saw its stock price skyrocket Thursday after announcing that it has adopted a digital assets treasury strategy that will center on Chainlink (LINK). The firm’s strategy was approved by its board of directors, allowing it to allocate a portion of its treasury to acquire LINK—the token that powers a Chainlink’s oracle network, which brings real-world data to blockchain apps. Caliber will use its balance sheet and existing access to capital to acquire LINK, though the firm has not shared how much it intends to acquire.  “This strategy combines what Caliber already does best—raising and managing capital in private equity real estate funds—with one of the most promising financial technologies of our time,” Caliber CEO Chris Loeffler told Decrypt.  “That technology, Chainlink, is directly applicable to our existing real estate business and it will help us to better automate our real estate value calculations (NAV automation), help better administer our funds, and it can help us potentially provide stronger liquidity options for our suite of private funds,” he added.  In addition to the digital asset treasury, the board of directors approved the creation of the Caliber Crypto Advisory Board—a group of crypto and blockchain experts that will help guide the firm’s digital asset treasury strategy. Loeffler told Decrypt that the board’s composition would be announced soon.  Shares in Caliber (CWD) are up 59% since the opening bell on Thursday, now trading hands at $2.70. However, the stock has traded down nearly 4% in the last month…

OpenWav Bridges East And West To Empower Artists With New Direct-To-Fan App

OpenWav Bridges East And West To Empower Artists With New Direct-To-Fan App

The post OpenWav Bridges East And West To Empower Artists With New Direct-To-Fan App appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. OpenWav, a newly launched platform co-founded by entrepreneur Jaeson Ma, is taking a direct aim at one of the music industry’s biggest flaws: the disconnect between an artist’s listenership and their income. With an all-in-one, mobile-first, direct-to-fan platform that empowers independent artists to generate income through ticketing, on-demand merchandise, exclusive content, and subscriptions. OpenWav wants to turn followers into customers and careers into livelihoods. When considering the future of the music industry from a marketing perspective, it helps to break it down into three core pillars: distribution, consumption, and promotion. Today, anyone can distribute their music, and anyone can consume it. The barriers to entry are gone. But promotion, the ability to understand who is listening and reliably connect with fans to build a career, remains unsolved. A striking metric illustrates this gap: of the 12 million artists who uploaded music to Spotify in 2024, only 0.6% earned $10,000 or more in royalties. The challenge in the music industry is that for most artists, streaming is the gateway to brand-building, which then enables monetization through ticketing, merchandise, brand deals, and subscriptions. Yet, without the music itself, these revenue streams wouldn’t exist. The difficulty lies in translating streaming metrics into direct fan relationships and sustainable income. Aside from the nominal cost per stream, the inability to make a living as an artist is largely due to how fragmented the music industry remains. Since artists do not own the platforms on which their content is distributed or consumed, they lack the ability to connect directly with fans who are already listening. Additionally, they do not have access to the data required to understand who their core listener base is and take advantage of the opportunities to succeed. Especially the opportunities that AI-powered technology is now presenting. It is common to see an…

21Shares Seeks SEC Nod to Launch First SEI ETF

21Shares Seeks SEC Nod to Launch First SEI ETF

The post 21Shares Seeks SEC Nod to Launch First SEI ETF appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A new SEI exchange-traded fund (ETF) from 21Shares has been registered in an S-1 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. It was submitted August 28, 2025, and it is the latest move by the firm to diversify its digital assets products. 21Shares SEI ETF to Track SEI Price with Potential Staking Option This suggested fund will expose investors to SEI, the native token of the Sei Network and it is named 21Shares SEI ETF. According to the SEC document, the ETF is designed as a passive investment vehicle. This means that it will only track SEI’s price performance. It will not use leverage, derivatives, or speculative trading strategies. The filing states that the SEI ETF’s objective is to track the CF SEI-Dollar Reference Rate – New York Variant, a benchmark calculated by CF Benchmarks Ltd. The ETF’s shares will be valued daily based on this benchmark. The firm will hope the SEC won’t delay its ruling on this ETF. The SEC has previously postponed its decision on the 21Shares Polkadot ETF filing. This highlights the regulator’s caution in approving new crypto funds. The fund also intends to be involved in staking provided the regulators permit it. The trust will gain further SEI rewards by staking. Though, this decision will be based on legal and tax considerations as has been highlighted in the filing. Any staking will be carried out using third-party service providers. Coinbase Custody Will Offer Security for the 21Shares SEI ETF In addition, the custodian of the ETF will be Coinbase Custody Trust Company. All SEI tokens will be kept in their custody on behalf of the investors. It is interesting to note that Coinbase also provides custody for 21Shares’ ONDO tokens when the company submitted its ONDO ETF filing. The filing emphasizes that assets…

Tether Unleashes $1 Billion In New USDT As Crypto Market Recovers

Tether Unleashes $1 Billion In New USDT As Crypto Market Recovers

Tether minted 1 billion in USDT on Wednesday, a move that market watchers say added fresh liquidity to crypto markets already moving higher. Related Reading: $160K Bitcoin By Christmas? Analysts Say It’s Still Possible Based on reports, the total crypto market cap bounced from an intraday low near $3.80 trillion to about $3.90 trillion on the same day, while Bitcoin traded around $112,300 and Ether reclaimed levels near $4,600. The minting stood out because it often signals ready cash that can be deployed quickly into exchanges and trading desks. Tether Minting Sparks Liquidity Flows New USDT issuance is frequently used to fund purchases, and the 1 billion issuance was flagged by on-chain trackers as a likely source of fresh buying power. Santiment and other trackers show that the number of addresses holding at least 1,000 BTC rose by 13 to about 2,085 since the start of August. At the same time, wallets holding at least 10,000 ETH increased by 48 to roughly 1,27. On August 26, US spot ether ETFs recorded about $450 million in net cash inflow, led by BlackRock’s ETHE with roughly $320 million that day. That pushed cumulative inflows into spot ether ETFs to near $13.30 billion, while US spot Bitcoin ETFs took in about $88 million with BlackRock’s IBIT posting roughly $45 million. The freshly minted USDT could be used by traders and desks to buy into Ether and other altcoins, matching the observable rotation from Bitcoin into alternative assets and ETF-linked demand. Whale Accumulation Intensifies Large holders were not the only sign of demand. Trading volumes and price moves showed altcoins gaining traction, but it was the flow of stablecoins that underpinned the story. When stablecoin supply rises, it lowers the friction for big buys: money can be moved to exchanges and executed faster than waiting for bank transfers. That operational detail helps explain why a billion mint draws attention even when headline prices are already climbing. The immediate effect of the mint was to give traders extra readily available cash. But liquidity injections are a two-sided event. They can push prices higher if buyers are aggressive, while concentrated buying and later profit-taking can cause sharp swings. Related Reading: Dogecoin Gears Up For Triple Surge Vs. Bitcoin – Details What Tether Minting Could Mean For Markets Market observers are watching liquidity, whale wallets, and ETF flows together because the mix determines whether a sustained capital rotation into altcoins will follow or if gains will be short lived. Tether’s 1 billion USDT mint was the clearest single signal of added spending power during Wednesday’s rebound. That supply, paired with heavy inflows into Ether ETFs and signs of whale accumulation, creates a setup where altcoin demand can grow quickly. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView

Ether ETFs Crush Bitcoin With 10x Higher Inflows This Week

Ether ETFs Crush Bitcoin With 10x Higher Inflows This Week

The post Ether ETFs Crush Bitcoin With 10x Higher Inflows This Week appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Spot Ether exchange-traded funds are selling like hot cakes in the US, attracting more than 10 times the inflows of their spot Bitcoin counterparts over the past five trading days.  Since Aug. 21, spot Ether ETFs have seen a whopping $1.83 billion in inflows, while Bitcoin funds took only a 10th of that with $171 million, according to CoinGlass.  The latest trading day on Wednesday continued the trend, with nine Ether (ETH) funds reaching $310.3 million in inflows, while the 11 spot Bitcoin (BTC) funds saw just $81.1 million.  Ether has recovered faster than Bitcoin this week, with ETH prices climbing 5% from their Tuesday low, whereas Bitcoin only managed to gain 2.8% over the same period.  The massive shift to Ether was not missed by industry observers such as Ethereum educator and investor Anthony Sassano, who described it as “brutal.”  Source: Anthony Sassano Meanwhile, NovaDius Wealth Management president Nate Geraci added that spot Ether ETFs are now close to $10 billion in inflows since the start of July. Spot Ether ETFs have been trading for 13 months and have seen $13.6 billion in total aggregate inflows, the majority of which has come in the last couple of months. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have been around longer, trading for 20 months with an aggregate inflow of $54 billion.  The Wall Street token The momentum has seemingly been shifting to Ethereum following the passing of the GENIUS Act stablecoin legislation in July, as the network has the largest market share of stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets.  Related: Investment advisers ‘dominating’ with $18.3B in Bitcoin, Ether ETFs “It’s very much what I call the Wall Street token,” said VanEck CEO Jan van Eck, speaking on Fox Business this week.  Meanwhile, Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart reported that investment advisers were the top holders…
