THE SEC’S BIG DECISION 🧑‍⚖️

BREAKING: The SEC has until this Friday to appeal the Grayscale ruling

The deadline for the SEC’s decision is only one week away. The regulator’s decision is a major key in the fate of spot Bitcoin ETFs. 🔑 

There’s mixed opinions on what this decision could entail. Some have said an SEC appeal could be bearish for ETF approvals. Some expect the SEC not to appeal. Most believe the Bitcoin ETFs are inevitable, regardless of this decision.

In August a Judge made a ruling in Grayscale's favour over the SEC. Grayscale wanted to convert their Bitcoin Trust into an ETF and the SEC said no. The judge believed the SEC's decision was "arbitrary and capricious". Based on the fact that they recently approved Bitcoin futures ETFs. 🤔

The SEC has 3 choices:

  • Appeal to the US Supreme Court (if a certiorari petition is granted)

  • Request an “en banc” panel of the Court of Appeals to revisit the ruling

  • Decide not to appeal

Analysts believe the first 2 options are unlikely…

So what happens if the SEC does not appeal?

Well, according to a blog post from law firm Winston & Strawn, the court will be:

“Instructing the SEC to approve the application, or to revisit Grayscale’s application, in which case the SEC could still reject the proposal on other grounds,

Unfortunately, most analysts are predicting the SEC will continue playing the villain. This means that they can still decline Grayscales application for other reasons

Fineqia International analyst Matteo Greco had this to say:

“The SEC can still decline the conversion for different reasons, making the need for an appeal less compelling than it was in the Ripple case, where the judge’s decision was definitive and held significant implications for the legal classification of digital assets,”

We’ll have to wait and see what they do, but the decision this week will have a big impact on crypto…

TOGETHER WITH MASTERWORKS 🎨

Billionaires wanted it, but 54,578 everyday investors got it first… and profited

When incredibly rare and valuable assets come up for sale, it's typically the wealthiest people that end up taking home an amazing investment. But not always

One platform is taking on the billionaires at their own game, buying up and fractionalizing some of history’s most prized blue-chip artworks for its investors.

It's called Masterworks. Their nearly $1 billion collection includes works by greats like Banksy, Picasso, and Basquiat, all of which are collectively owned by everyday investors. When Masterworks sells a painting – like the 16 it's already sold – investors reap their portion of the profits.

WHY BITCOIN WILL HIT $70K IN 2024 🚀 

Crypto expert Arthur Hayes just dropped a bombshell prediction. 💣

He believes Bitcoin will hit a new all time high by the end of 2024.

What’s more?

He thinks Bitcoin will continue to march upwards to $750,000 - $1,000,000 by 2026.

If you don’t know who Arthur is, here’s why you should listen to him:

  • Crypto veteran who founded BitMex (crypto exchange)

  • Net worth of over $500+ million

  • 10+ years in crypto and expert in macroeconomics

In his most recent interview with Tom Bilyeu, he broke down his prediction:

“We get to around $70,000 by the end of 2024. That's the combination of the crypto Halving event, there's going to be a few ETFs launched by large asset managers in the U.S, Europe, China maybe Hong Kong. To be specific. we regain the all-time high by end of 2024. That's when the real fun starts. That's when the real bull market starts.”

Arthur Hayes

That’s not all. Arthur believes we will then enter the biggest bull market the world has ever seen… 🌎

“My mental model for where we could go? I think we're going to go somewhere between you know $750,000 to $1,000,000 in Bitcoin… I believe this is going to be the largest financial bull market in financial assets we have ever seen.”

Arthur Hayes

Arthur is predicting a 154% price increase by the end of 2024. Then a 2600% - 3500% increase over the next 3 years… 

Why does he think these predictions will play out?

It all comes down to the government debt crisis.

Arthur argues that the government has quite literally printed itself into a corner. 🖨

With debt levels now over $33.5 trillion and debt-to-GDP at over 120%, the U.S has a problem.

Raise interest rates and you have to pay interest on debt through T-Bills. With such high levels of debt, this pours more money to the economy.

Lower interest rates and borrowing gets cheaper and liquidity is added to the system. This also pours money into the economy.

Whatever route the government decides, the outcome is the same. More stimulus and money printing. This means the devaluation of the dollar.

Arthur believes this will be the fuel for a huge bull-run in crypto, the stock market and other financial assets.

It’s not prices increasing, it’s also the devaluation of the currency.

With the government adding $275 billion debt in a single day last week, Arthur Hayes does make a strong point…

IT’S ALL COMING TOGETHER 😁 

Today we’ve got something super interesting to share with you…

Popular twitter technical analyst Mags just put out a chart comparing previous halving cycles. The main point of comparison was Bitcoins price 200 days before the halving vs it’s all time high.

Take a look at the chart below, are you seeing what we’re seeing…

The resemblance is scary.

Here’s the breakdown:

  • 2016 cycle: Bitcoin was -65% below its all-time high

  • 2019 cycle: Bitcoin was -60% below its all-time high

  • 2023 cycle: Bitcoin is currently -60% below its all-time high

The last 3 cycles have been in the exact same spot 200 days before the halving. 👀

Mags finishes their post by mentioning that even though Bitcoin’s price isn’t moving much these days. It’s following a similar pattern to previous cycles.

Also, take a look at Bitcoin’s price one year after the halving. The last two have been parabolic

Now you know we normally stick to on-chain data. But when we saw this we knew we had to share it with you guys.

Charts like this are fun but keep in mind, past performance is no guarantee of future results.
