Crypto investment firm Pantera Capital says the utility token of one layer-1 blockchain possesses massive upside potential amid low adoption by institutional investors relative to Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). Pantera Capital says Solana (SOL) is “next in line” for its “institutional moment” ahead of the potential approval of a spot Solana exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the fourth quarter of this year. “Institutions are currently under-allocated to SOL relative to BTC and ETH, holding less than 1% of the total supply – compared to 16% of BTC and 7% of ETH. With a Solana ETF approval expected as early as…

Pro-crypto lawmakers have demanded immediate action to prevent large banks from blocking Americans’ access to digital asset platforms and other financial services. In a letter sent Tuesday to Acting CFPB Director Russ Vought, Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) expressed “strong support” for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s open banking rule and urged it “finalize this rule as soon as possible.” The Senate Banking Subcommittee on Digital Assets Chair warned that major financial institutions have weaponized their gatekeeping power against industries and individuals they disagree with. “Large banks have shown they’ll restrict access for political reasons, targeting industries & individuals they disagree…

The Federal Reserve finally trimmed rates—and bitcoin basically yawned, according to Coinshares’ Head of Research James Butterfill, who says traders want proof this is a real pivot, not a polite tap on the brakes. Butterfill: Rate Cut Hype Fades; Bitcoin Waits for Real Pivot Signal Bitcoin (BTC) has treaded water for three months while volatility has squeezed to roughly 26%, a far cry from the fireworks that usually follow easing policy. Butterfill’s report says futures markets flirt with the idea of three cuts this year, but price action says “show me” for now. The Fed shaved 25 basis points (bps)…

The 25 basis point interest rate cut recently implemented by the FED has had a great impact on global markets, while also bringing with it concerns, particularly regarding cryptocurrency markets. Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Macro Strategist Mike McGlone argued on the “Milk Road Macro” podcast that markets are living in a “fantasy world” and that investors are overweighting risky assets. McGlone pointed out that Fed interest rate cuts are not always a positive signal for stocks, citing the more than 50% declines in the S&P 500 following interest rate cuts in 2001 and 2007. The strategist, who specifically categorizes cryptocurrencies as…

Strategy’s stock dropped 4% over the past month, even as Bitcoin rose 3%, raising fresh questions about Michael Saylor’s multi-billion-dollar crypto play. Since 2020, the company has been buying bitcoin using a mix of borrowed money and new shares. That pivot pushed the software firm into the spotlight as a bitcoin-heavy operation. The stock had soared 2,800% since the bitcoin buying spree began. But now, the numbers are heading the wrong way, and confidence in the Strategy model is starting to crack. Other companies that copied Saylor’s approach are bleeding harder. Japanese hotel operator Metaplanet has lost 36% in the…

Sergey Nazarov recently stated that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is shifting its stance on the crypto market. He views tokenization as the bridge between crypto and real-economy growth, but there’s still work to do in turning that potential into reality. Joe Biden was the 46th president of the United States of America. Under his rule, and that of Gary Gensler as Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the cryptocurrency industry was subject to constant scrutiny, lawsuits, and functional silos due to regulatory misalignment. Following the SEC’s rollout of 23 proposed rules designed to streamline the tokenization…

Long-end Treasury yields went up this week, even though the Fed cut interest rates. That move surprised the bond market. The 10-year Treasury yield, which had dipped below 4%, jumped to 4.145%. The 30-year yield, the one that matters for mortgages, rose to 4.76%, after hitting a weekly low of 4.604%. The Fed lowered its policy rate by 0.25% to 4.00%-4.25% on Wednesday, its first rate cut of the year. That helped push stocks higher, but the bond market didn’t react the same way. According to Bloomberg, investors in longer-term bonds didn’t get what they wanted — certainty that inflation…
