After crypto ETF movement in Hong Kong, other Asia regulators could act

It appears ever more likely that fund issuers will launch crypto ETFs in Hong Kong very soon. This move could catalyze acceptance of such funds elsewhere, with some speculating that other regulators in Asia could be next to follow suit. In the US, the Securities and Exchange Commission had held out on approving spot bitcoin ETFs for years, restricting investors from engaging with cryptocurrencies through regulated financial avenues. This barrier prevented the broader financial adoption and accessibility of blockchain assets. That all changed in January when the SEC approved 10 spot bitcoin ETFs for trading on US exchanges.

U.S. House Passes Bill Banning Federal Reserve From Issuing a CBDC

The U.S. House of Representatives voted largely along party lines to prevent the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency.

The US spot bitcoin ETFs that launched in January spawned from a decade-long effort. While the winding road for proposed spot ether funds hasn’t been as long, that doesn’t mean it hasn’t been eventful. The Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday will take a step toward either allowing ether ETFs to trade, or kicking the proverbial can down the road on such products.
