In BITA’s case, if bitcoin rallies, the ETF benefits from its IBIT holdings, but the gains are capped by having to pay out on the calls. If $BTC holds steady or falls, the call-writing premium offsets some of the decline. In effect, investors give up potential gains for a steadier stream of income. “By deploying a covered-call strategy on its Bitcoin-linked exposure, the fund seeks to convert Bitcoin’s historically high volatility into a recurring income stream with a target of +15% annual yield while retaining around 70% participation in its underlying capital appreciation potential,” Tagus Capital said in an email.…

The US Government Accountability Office has urged the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to make an effort to coordinate with other federal agencies to address risks from blockchain technology. GAO made a June 8 letter to FDIC Chairman Travis Hill public on Monday, which said that it first flagged priority recommendations with the regulator in May last year, including addressing blockchain technology risks. It said that blockchain technology was an area of concern that it put on its “High Risk List,” as it deems that regulators have struggled to oversee blockchain-based financial products and the risks they could pose to US…

When a crypto exchange starts quoting yields that look more like a DeFi summer headline than a disciplined wealth management service, the market should pay attention—but not just for the number. Bybit’s announcement that its Private Wealth Management division generated over 50% in 30-day annualized returns across multiple strategies reveals as much about the competitive sprint for institutional capital as it does about the risk frameworks that accompany such figures. Bybit, which has consistently ranked as the second-largest crypto exchange by trading volume, is not the first platform to court high-net-worth individuals and family offices with wealth management suites. But…

Wall Street’s largest asset managers are increasingly competing to manage the assets backing stablecoins, a market that could swell into the trillions of dollars as digital dollars become a larger part of the financial system.

The fund’s introduction comes as traditional financial (TradFi) firms race to position themselves as key providers of reserve management services for stablecoin issuers.

It also raises expectations around risk monitoring, senior management oversight, AI-related risks, anonymity-enhancing transactions, and proliferation financing. The update raises the compliance bar for one of the world’s most active crypto licensing hubs. NeosLegal estimates that more than 100 VASPs hold permits or approvals across UAE regulators, including VARA, ADGM, DFSA, CBUAE, and CMA.…
