85 - Bitcoin ETF Battles, Azuki NFT Fiasco and the Rise of Secret NFTs
07/05/23 • 22 min
Join Trace, Blake, and Craig in this week's episode as they delve into the exciting developments surrounding the Bitcoin Spot EFT in the US. The landscape has been rapidly evolving, starting with BlackRock's initial application, which ignited a surge in crypto prices. However, the plot thickened with the emergence of updated bids from ARK Invest and Valkyrie, leaving the outcome wide open. Gain insights into Cathy Woods' Ark Invest and unravel the reasoning behind the SEC's scrutiny of two spot Bitcoin ETF applications.
That's not all! Our hosts also dive deep into the recent Azuki NFT Drop. Discover why this drop didn’t go according to plan. Then let Blake guide you through the concept of Secret NFTs and their potential future impact. Plus, stay tuned for our short sharp new bites that bring you up to speed on the latest happenings in the world of cryptocurrencies.
Get ready to take a dose of crypto news!
