Ethereum ETFs see $48M in net inflows as Grayscale’s ETHE outflows slow

0

The cryptocurrency market has witnessed a significant event with Ethereum-based Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) experiencing a substantial $48 million in net inflows. This development comes as the outflows from Grayscale’s Ethereum Trust (ETHE) appear to be decelerating, marking a pivotal moment for Ethereum and its stakeholders.

Grayscale’s ETHE, a prominent investment vehicle for Ethereum, has seen more than $1.1 billion in assets shed during its initial days of trading. Despite this, the trust has managed to slow down the outflows, which is a positive sign for investors who have been closely monitoring the situation. The initial outflows were anticipated by analysts, considering ETHE’s relatively high fee of 2.5%, the highest among Ethereum ETFs.

The Grayscale Ethereum Trust differs from other Ethereum funds as it is a conversion from an existing fund, first offered as a private placement in 2017 and later publicly traded on OTC markets in 2019. A new Ethereum fund, the Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust (ETH), based on ETHE, has generated $119 million in inflows, indicating a strong investor interest in Ethereum-based products.

The approval of spot Ethereum ETFs by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been a catalyst for positive sentiment in the market. Despite the initial outflows from ETHE, the overall inflows into spot Ethereum ETFs have been robust, totaling approximately $978 million, led by the BlackRock Ethereum Trust (ETHA) with $354.8 million in investments.

The Ethereum ETFs track the ongoing price of ether, the native token of the Ethereum blockchain, which is widely regarded for its potential to transform various industries by eliminating the need for centralized organizations to record data and verify transactions. Ethereum stands as the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, trailing only behind Bitcoin.

Ethereum ETFs provide a straightforward path for investors to gain exposure to Ethereum without the need to navigate the complexities of cryptocurrency exchanges, digital wallets, and private keys. ETFs are subject to regulatory scrutiny, offering a layer of security and peace of mind for investors who might be concerned about the regulatory ambiguity surrounding direct cryptocurrency holdings.

The launch of Ethereum ETFs is considered a significant milestone for the crypto industry, as it represents a growing acceptance and recognition of cryptocurrencies as legitimate investment assets. The inflows into Ethereum ETFs suggest that investors are looking beyond Bitcoin for exposure to the crypto market, recognizing the unique value proposition that Ethereum offers. Trading like stocks on major exchanges, Ethereum ETFs offer high liquidity, allowing investors to buy and sell shares with ease throughout the trading day.

The recent movements in the Ethereum ETF space are indicative of a maturing market that is becoming increasingly sophisticated. Investors are now able to access Ethereum through traditional investment structures like ETFs, which offer liquidity, narrower spreads, and lower fees compared to previous investment vehicles.

As the crypto market continues to evolve, the role of Ethereum ETFs will likely become more prominent, providing investors with diversified options to gain exposure to the burgeoning world of digital assets. The slowing of outflows from Grayscale’s ETHE and the significant net inflows into other Ethereum ETFs reflect a growing confidence in Ethereum’s long-term potential and its role in the future of finance.

WIN, Not Just Appear To Be Winning On The Wealth Race

1

To build wealth, the most important thing is the mindset, and the key is focusing on winning over appearing to be winning. In other words, you have to decide to do the necessary things to WIN, and not just do enough to appear to people that you are winning.

“Simply, it is better to carry a plastic wallet with a million Naira in it than to carry a Louis Vuitton designer wallet with a hundred Naira in it. You’re just looking like you’re winning with all those designer fittings on you. You ain’t winning; Armani, Louis Vitton, Nike, etc, are winning. One interesting fact is that the rich stay rich by pretending to be poor, while the poor stay poor by pretending to be rich. Think about it.” – A Tekedia Capital Member on WhatsApp

And let me add: the rich spend money to save time, while the poor waste time to save money. Yes, spending that flight money to save time goes in reverse to saving money by going via the bus, wasting time along the way.

The deal: the greatest financial liberation is the liberation of the mind, as wealth is incubated in the mind! Until the mind is ready, the purses and wallets will not feel anything.

The World Needs Peace, Not Drums of Wars, across Continents

0

The phrase “drums of wars across continents” evokes a powerful image of the persistent and pervasive nature of conflict in our world. It is a stark reminder that, despite the progress made in various fields, the scourge of war remains a reality in many regions.

Wars have been a constant in human history, often spreading across continents and involving numerous nations. Here are some notable examples of such conflicts:

The Crusades (1095–1291): A series of religious wars sanctioned by the Latin Church in the medieval period, primarily against Muslims in the Near East.

The Mongol Invasions (13th Century): Led by Genghis Khan and his successors, the Mongols created one of the largest empires in history, stretching across Asia and into Eastern Europe.

The Thirty Years’ War (1618–1648): A conflict primarily fought in Central Europe, which involved many of the great powers of the time and resulted in millions of casualties.

The Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815): A series of major conflicts pitting the French Empire and its allies, led by Napoleon Bonaparte, against a fluctuating array of European powers.

World War I (1914–1918): Known as the Great War, it involved all the world’s great powers and spread across multiple continents, leaving a legacy of political change and upheaval.

World War II (1939–1945): The deadliest conflict in human history, it involved more than 30 countries and resulted in significant changes to the global structure of power.

These wars not only changed the course of history but also left deep impacts on the social, economic, and political fabric of the world. For a more detailed exploration of historical conflicts, resources like Encyclopedia Britannica’s list of wars and the Smithsonian’s interactive map of every war ever provide extensive information. These conflicts remind us of the importance of striving for peace and understanding in our interconnected world.

The Council on Foreign Relations provides an interactive Global Conflict Tracker, which highlights the ongoing conflicts around the world that are of concern to the United States, offering background information and resources for those who wish to learn more. Similarly, Wikipedia maintains a list of ongoing armed conflicts, providing a comprehensive overview of the scale and scope of current wars, their locations, and the tragic toll they take on human life.

These resources reveal the sobering fact that conflicts continue to rage in various forms, from major wars to minor skirmishes, affecting millions of lives and displacing countless individuals. The recent report by the United Nations News highlights that over 114 million people have been displaced by war and violence worldwide, with conflicts in Ukraine, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Myanmar, and other regions being significant contributors to this alarming figure.

As we reflect on the “drums of wars,” it is crucial to consider the human cost of these conflicts. Behind every statistic is a story of lost potential, disrupted lives, and communities torn apart. The global community faces the challenge of finding sustainable solutions to these conflicts, promoting peace, and rebuilding the lives of those affected.

The pursuit of peace is a complex and arduous journey, but it is a necessary one. It requires the collective efforts of nations, organizations, and individuals committed to dialogue, understanding, and the resolution of disputes through non-violent means. As we hear the distant or sometimes all-too-close drums of war, let us also strive to amplify the voices that call for peace, reconciliation, and a better future for all.

Dow, Fintechnolization and the age of Inflated Asset Prices

1

X (yes, Twitter) is about to launch a peer-to-peer payment solution in our highly financialized world. Yes, everyone wants to insert himself or herself in the payment value chain, and in the process, we are inflating asset prices all over the world. But you cannot blame X because that is the destination for most digital platforms.

Elon Musk-owned social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, is reportedly gearing up plans to launch its payment service in 2024.

According to independent app researcher Nima Owji who made this disclosure on X with an image attachment, he revealed that the company is working on adding a “Payments” button to the navigation bar under the bookmarks tab.

Every great digital platform has a stable state of offering a financial solution. I called that fintechnolization: “a construct that every digital platform must have a maturity state of offering a fintech solution. I had watched all great digital platforms on how they ended up providing fintech solutions even when they began in an unrelated sector.” So, X must fintechnolize to capture more value.

In Oct 2007, the Dow (a US market index) closed at its pre-recession high of about 14,000. In March 2009, the index had fallen more than 50% to about 6,500. So, from 2009 to now, the Dow has added about 33,000 points to the current 39,500 points. Considering how many decades it took the Dow to get to 14,000 since 1897 when it was established, and how it used less than 15 years to add 33,000, you could agree that the market system has been financialized.

Simply, Wall Street can create an unseen value, out of the ambient light of production and market systems.  You cannot tell me that everything is fine if it took the Dow more than a century to hit 14000,  only to use 15 years to hit 39500.

So, what X is trying to do is the game: if you can insert yourself and pick a cut of say 0.49% on all transactions, it doesn’t really matter if your product is now a political square with no chance of adding any professional or business value. I seldom post there these days. That is the operating principle of this age.
