The new SEC Chairman will rule on 15 meme coin and meme token ETF applications

5 hours ago

On April 22nd, as per Decrypt's report, Paul Atkins, the new chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), will have to review 15 applications for Shitcoin and Meme Token ETFs after officially taking office out of more than 70 applications. These applications involve Solana, XRP, DOGE, Pengu, and some fund products linked to Meme coins. XRP leads in terms of active ETF applications with 10 applications, followed by 5 Solana ETF applications, and Litecoin and DOGE each having 3 applications. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas stated that currently, there are 72 cryptocurrency-related exchange-traded fund applications awaiting feedback in the U.S., including requests for listed option products. This newly crypto-friendly chairman will make the initial ruling on which cryptocurrencies can be approved for listing as exchange-traded trust products. Last year, during the tenure of former chairman Gary Gensler, the SEC approved Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs, which marked a milestone moment for the crypto industry. Under acting chair Mark Uyeda, the SEC has been working to remove some regulatory uncertainties. In February this year, the SEC indicated that it generally does not consider Meme coins as securities. After postponing the decision on the XRP ETF in March, the final decision period may be extended until mid-October.

The current mainstream CEX and DEX funding rate indicates that the market is no longer universally bearish.

On April 22nd, based on Coinglass data, the current mainstream CEX and DEX funding rates suggest that the market is no longer mainly bearish, nor is it bullish. The specific funding rates for major coins are presented in the attached image. BlockBeats Note: The funding rate is a fee set by cryptocurrency exchanges to maintain the balance between the contract price and the underlying asset price. It is usually applicable to perpetual contracts and is a mechanism for the exchange of funds between long and short traders. The trading platform does not charge this fee. It is used to adjust the cost or profit of traders holding contracts to keep the contract price close to the underlying asset price. When the funding rate is 0.01%, it represents the baseline rate. When the funding rate is greater than 0.01%, it indicates a generally bullish market. When the funding rate is less than 0.005%, it indicates a generally bearish market.

Citigroup: The Fed May Cut Rates Up to 5 Times This Year

On Monday, April 22nd, Citibank predicted that by June, the U.S. economy will clearly show signs of weakness, which will prompt the Fed to cut interest rates for the first time this year, possibly up to five times.
