Crypto ETFs: The New American Dream or Just Another Way to Lose Your Money?

by

Ah, the world of crypto: where things get shiny, digital, and confusing all at once. But guess what? The cool kids are trying to make it easier for us with U.S.-linked crypto ETFs. Because who doesn’t want to get in on the “Made-in-America” hype without dealing with actual crypto? 🤑

Canary Capital: Your New Best Friend in the Crypto ETF Game

So, guess what Canary Capital just did? They’ve filed for an ETF that’s all about U.S.-based digital assets. Because if you’re gonna put your money in the future, might as well make it feel patriotic, right? The fund, called the Canary American-Made Crypto ETF, will track tokens that are either born, bred, or just heavily influenced by the good ol’ U.S. of A.

The best part? This ETF isn’t just about holding crypto. Nope. It might even snag rewards for validating blockchain transactions. So, like, it’s practically doing the work for you. 💼

Here’s the rundown on what counts as “Made-in-America”:

  • Coins invented in the U.S. (Take that, global competition!)
  • Coins mined in the U.S. (Because America has to do everything big, right?)
  • Coins with their operations rooted in the U.S. (It’s a whole vibe.)

This little beauty joins the growing trend of products that give investors crypto access without the headache of owning it directly. Phew! 😅

If the ETF gets the green light, you can find it on the Cboe BZX Exchange under the oh-so-catchy ticker symbol MRCA. 🎉

White House Gets In on the Action with “America First”

Oh, and did you hear? The White House has dropped a memo about an “America First” investment strategy. Because, you know, national security = economic security, and nothing screams “national security” like a solid crypto portfolio. 🇺🇸

The policy aims to safeguard U.S. tech, infrastructure, and other important stuff. And guess what? That’s fueling a rise in U.S.-focused investments. Because who doesn’t love a good patriotic investment strategy? 😏

Which Coins Will Make the Cut? Good Luck with That

Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas, your friendly neighborhood ETF analyst, is over here with a tough question: Which coins will actually qualify for this American-made crypto fund? Well, he’s kind of stumped. He joked, “Maybe it’s easier to ask which ones wouldn’t.” So… no pressure, right? 😂

Oh, and then there’s the whole debate about Bitcoin. Was it invented in the U.S.? Or was it just the digital equivalent of a worldwide treasure hunt? Eric’s Twitter followers got into it. One pointed out that Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi, used British English. Oops! Guess we’ll never know… unless we get a time machine. 🕰️

Altcoins: The New “Cool” Kids

Meanwhile, the cool altcoins-XRP, Dogecoin, and Sui-are also stepping into the spotlight with their own ETFs. Because, apparently, not everyone wants to keep it classic with BTC and ETH. 🐕💎

Canary Capital’s on that altcoin ETF grind too, recently updating their applications after getting a little feedback from the SEC. Apparently, October is going to be a big month for ETF approvals, and analysts like Eric Balchunas are predicting a flood of approvals. Get your popcorn ready. 🍿

Institutional barriers to investing in crypto are *quickly* crumbling…

Perhaps many institutions can only invest in DATs today, but mandates are *rapidly* shifting towards allowing direct (or at least ETF) access.

Seems obvious.
