Fireblocks 1,800 institutional clients will be able to access the Sygnum Connect fiat settlements infrastructure through the Fireblocks platform. Ran Goldi, Senior Vice President, Payments and Network at Fireblocks, says, "Payments have historically been bound by traditional 9-to-5 banking systems, as well as manual settlements and payouts, which have hampered the ability of businesses to move in and out of positions, as well as transfer funds, quickly. By integrating Sygnum Connect, Fireblocks Network users will be able to transfer fiat currencies between each other in real-time, 24/7, eliminating the need to wait for settlements to clear with counterparties and providing greater capital efficiency for network participants."

After the apparent pro-crypto shift in US politics in May, there have been further positive developments on the US political and regulatory front. Support for the crypto industry is now included in the official Republican Party platform. Very importantly, the SEC dropped its investigation into Ethereum 2.0, deciding not to pursue charges that the proof-of-stake version of Ether is a security, and a federal judge ruled that the BNB token of the Binance Chain is not a security when traded in the secondary market. “At this point, proof-of-stake crypto assets appear to be out of the woods. Proof-of-work was already de facto not considered a security, but proof-of-stake cryptocurrencies have been challenged by the SEC. Now this risk has largely been removed,” Katalin Tischhauser, Sygnum Bank’s Head of Investment Research, says. Meanwhile VanEck and 21Shares filed to launch Solana ETFs. However, the market is divided on whether further ETFs can happen soon, considering they face significant hurdles. “It is not that likely to happen in the near future. If we look ahead to 2026 and beyond, they will probably be approved, but by the March 2025 final approval deadline of the filings, this is not likely,” Katalin Tischhauser says. The filings are a significant step but the hurdles are substantial because there needs to be a surveillable market that fits the SEC’s definition. For BTC and ETH, they referenced the CME futures market, however, there are no Solana futures and the CME stated last month that they had no plans to launch this product. Alternatively, the SEC’s stance on what they consider an acceptable “surveillable market” needs to shift. “An even bigger question is the potential demand for Solana ETFs. Ethereum has half the name recognition of Bitcoin, and Solana has much less than that among new types of investors, while those already familiar with crypto will be trading spot. I’m not suggesting that there would be no demand but it doesn’t look like a substantial amount that would create political pressure. However, if the world’s largest asset manager and leading ETF provider BlackRock filed, as some unsourced rumours suggest, that would change the picture,” Katalin Tischhauser says. 🎬 Watch this week's Sygnum research livestream “Is crypto decoupling from the global markets?” with Katalin Tischhauser here: https://lnkd.in/dWHzV7MM Dom Castley MBA MCIM, Fabian Dori, Lionel Vaucher, Markus Hämmerli, Stefan Edelmann, Olga Voldiner, Rico Müller, Juan Carlos Largo Castellà, Federico Pepe, Luca Burlando #SolanaETFs #solana #bitcoin Disclaimer: https://bit.ly/4edJA1v

Is crypto decoupling from the global markets? Crypto has been driven by supply and demand trends all year. Initially, the launch of Bitcoin spot ETFs became the primary driver of fresh demand, and as this demand weakened, the market corrected. Supply concerns recently took over after Genesis Global and Mt. Gox's bankruptcy procedures started distributing crypto, and the German and US governments sold large amounts of Bitcoin. This situation was further exacerbated by miner capitulation as falling Bitcoin prices push more miners into loss making territory and necessitate the sale of reserves to cover running costs. Katalin Tischhauser, Sygnum Bank’s Head of Investment Research, says: “These negative supply trends led to crypto entirely decoupling from global macro trends over the past one and half months. Although the crypto market has always had zero to low correlation with risk assets as far as day-to-day price movements are concerned, multiyear crypto bull markets have coincided with periods of loose liquidity benefiting all asset classes – including crypto.” However, risk assets and crypto have been moving in opposite directions recently. “Risk assets interpreted the recent June FOMC meeting and CPI numbers as bullish, and Jerome Powell’s recent Senate and Congress testimonies indicate a clearly dovish shift in the Fed’s stance. The S&P500 and NASDAQ have been making all time highs but crypto has not gotten on board with this narrative although this macro backdrop is positive for the continuation of the bull cycle,” Katalin Tischhauser says. ✅ Are there any drivers indicating the end of this correction? Several strong medium-term drivers exist. An important one is the political shift in the US, where supporting the crypto industry is now formally part of the official Republican Party platform. Another factor is an expected fresh wave of sizable demand for the Bitcoin ETFs. BlackRock indicated that they see interest from some very large traditional institutions such as sovereign wealth funds. “I take that input from the world’s largest asset manager quite seriously. Other ETF issuers have made similar comments, so I think it is reasonable to expect such demand to materialise over time,” Katalin Tischhauser says. In the short term, the supply entering the market has been difficult to absorb, severely affecting sentiment. Miner capitulation, however, seems to have run its course and the fears about selling by Mt Gox creditors are likely exaggerated. 🎬 Watch yesterday’s Sygnum research livestream “Is crypto decoupling from the global markets?” with Katalin Tischhauser here: https://lnkd.in/dWHzV7MM Dom Castley MBA MCIM, Fabian Dori, Lionel Vaucher, Markus Hämmerli, Stefan Edelmann, Olga Voldiner, Rico Müller, Juan Carlos Largo Castellà, Federico Pepe, Luca Burlando #bitcoin #ethereum #solana Disclaimer: https://bit.ly/4edJA1v
