Originally submitted by Nasdaq in February, the ETF proposal was a valiant attempt to navigate the SEC’s labyrinthine Rule 5711(d). By March, the application had been revised, then published for public comment like a cryptic scroll in a wizard’s library. The public, naturally, responded with a mix of confusion and existential dread.
Once upon a dreary Monday (because all big ambitions start on a Monday), CoinShares, that titan of European digital asset management, announced its eager flight towards the fabled Wall Street. In a spectacle worthy of an opera buffa, it is to be christened public in the United States by merging with the illustrious Vine Hill Capital Investment Corp – a Nasdaq-listed SPAC with a name that sounds like it was concocted by a vineyard owner who suddenly fancied finance.
Now, let’s rewind a bit. Back in January 2025, Bybit had to hit the pause button on its Indian operations due to some regulatory hiccups. Apparently, they were operating without the proper paperwork, which is a big no-no in the world of finance. The Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) wasn’t too pleased and slapped them with a fine of about $1.06 million. Ouch!

Just two weeks ago, ETH reached a new all-time high, an event that was met with a mix of jubilation and trepidation among traders. It was a moment of triumph, a local top that perhaps signaled a brief pause in its relentless rally. Since then, the price action has narrowed into a range, a phenomenon that reflects the dual forces of profit-taking and caution. Yet, the underlying fundamentals, like the unwavering faith of a devoted character, remain supportive of Ethereum’s long-term outlook.
The delay in these crucial verifications has, naturally, whipped up a storm of frustration within the community, casting a shadow of doubt over the project’s transparency and its long-term prospects. One can almost hear the groans of impatience echoing through the digital halls.
Ah! The inexplicable, feverish dance of modernity! Behold Stelios Haji-Ioannou, that relentless accumulator of billions, that captain of the airborne proletariat, now offers us, not a plane, not a seat, but a ticket straight into the delirium of crypto-EasyBitcoin.

Yet, oh dear readers, tales of a nefarious plot brew like a rancid stew! Whispers echo in the hallowed halls of the interwebs that Tether might, just might, unravel its Bitcoin holdings in exchange for the glimmering allure of gold. How does one even begin to process such audacious chicanery? 🤔
