Revealing that a “substantial amount” of the collapsed crypto exchange's assets are either missing or stolen, attorney for new management James Bromley also described FTX as the “personal fiefdom” of co-founder and former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried during the first U.S. bankruptcy court hearing on the matter on Tuesday. Marco Olivera and Ash Bennington welcome Mike Alfred, a value investor and the managing partner at Alpine Fox, and Sam Kessler, a reporter for CoinDesk, to talk about the latest developments in the FTX saga as well as CZ's Coinbase tweet, Grayscale's reserve problems, and Genesis's unwinding fate for the final Crypto Daily Briefing of the week.

The FTX Contagion effects do not even stop at the largest institutional Bitcoin product on the market, the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC). As a result of the bankruptcy of Sam Bankman-Fried's crypto exchange, the discount to the NAV of Grayscale's GBTC fund has fallen to around -40%. Recent events have led Grayscale Bitcoin Trust to become potentially the single biggest risk to the Bitcoin market.

“I think these policy fights for Bitcoin, this is the fight of my generation; and I think it's absolutely important that we as Bitcoiners, and people who care about this technology, understand these political fights, these legal fights because if we get the policy wrong, it can totally skew our future.”— Perianne BoringPerianne Boring is the Founder and CEO of the Chamber of Digital Commerce. In this interview, we discuss the history of Bitcoin spot ETF proposals, the numerous rejections and changing conditions for approval, and why the SEC won't approve a Bitcoin spot ETF. - - - - The first application for a Bitcoin spot ETF in the US was made by the Winklevoss brothers back in 2013. The SEC rejected this proposal in 2017. Since then the SEC has rejected applications from at least 16 different companies, some of whom have made multiple applications. The last rejection was in early October. It's not that the SEC dislikes ETFs. There are over 2,500 ETFs in the US market with over $7.2 trillion AUM. Further, there is also strong demand in the market: over 99% of the 11,400 letters sent to the SEC in relation to Grayscale's ETC application were in support. In the meantime, Bitcoin spot ETFs are being approved across the world, most notably across the border in Canada.The Chamber of Digital Commerce, the blockchain trade association, has assessed the history of Bitcoin spot ETF applications accounted for in a report. This outlines major inconsistencies in the way the SEC treats applications: denials have conditions applied for subsequent applications; these conditions are met, the new applications are denied; rinse and repeat.In addition, in 2021 the SEC approved the first US Bitcoin futures ETF. Whilst the performance of the Bitcoin futures ETF has tracked the Bitcoin price reasonably closely, futures markets are by their very nature volatile as futures contracts can be unpredictable. So, it is potentially a less safe vehicle for investment. The obvious question is, therefore: why won't the SEC approve a Bitcoin spot ETF? Perianne Boring, the CEO of the Chamber of Digital Commerce, is of the opinion the decision is political in nature. There is a wave of money waiting to invest in such an ETF, which would accelerate the adoption of Bitcoin. This is something many decision-makers are resistant to. What's clear is that with Grayscale suing the SEC the issue is coming to a head.- - - - This episode's sponsors:Gemini - Buy Bitcoin instantlyLedn - Financial services for Bitcoin hodlersBitcasino - The Future of Gaming is hereFidelity - Careers in cryptoLedger - State of the art Bitcoin hardware walletWasabi Wallet - Privacy by defaultTexas Blockchain Summit - Nov 17-18, 2022 | Austin, TexasBCB Group - Global digital financial Services-----WBD578 - Show Notes-----If you enjoy The What Bitcoin Did Podcast you can help support the show by doing the following:Become a Patron and get access to shows early or help contributeMake a tip:Bitcoin: 3FiC6w7eb3dkcaNHMAnj39ANTAkv8Ufi2SQR Codes: BitcoinIf you do send a tip then please email me so that I can say thank youSubscribe on iTunes | Spotify | Stitcher | SoundCloud | YouTube | Deezer | TuneIn | RSS FeedLeave a review on iTunesShare the show and episodes with your friends and familySubscribe to the newsletter on my websiteFollow me on Twitter Personal | Twitter Podcast | Instagram | Medium | YouTubeIf you are interested in sponsoring the show, you can read more about that here or please feel free to drop me an email to discuss options.

This week on What's At Stake, Michael Sonnenshein, CEO of Grayscale, joins Penta's Bryan DeAngelis to discuss the latest happenings at Grayscale, the world's largest digital currency asset manager, in addition to the cryptocurrency industry more broadly. Bryan and Michael open on Grayscale's inception and the firm's active presence in D.C., including the significant time Grayscale has spent educating Washington about crypto.  Michael recounts Grayscale's history with the SEC: the years of successful collaboration with the Commission followed by the Commission's decision this summer to reject Grayscale's application to convert its signature fund, Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, into an exchange-traded fund (ETF). In order to protect its investors, Michael explains, Grayscale was left with no choice but to file suit against the SEC.Michael and Bryan also discuss the state of U.S. crypto regulation more broadly. How the lack of regulatory guidance is pushing innovation outside the U.S., reducing benefits to the U.S. economy such as new jobs and tax revenue. Despite these frustrations, Michael explains that Grayscale has seen a substantial increase in awareness and engagement from  policymakers since they became active in D.C. five years ago.  Bryan and Michael also share top insights from new research Grayscale released with Harris Poll, including survey results that found that a majority of voters in both parties agree that cryptocurrencies are the future of finance. The poll also found that there is strong consensus among surveyed voters on the desire for greater regulatory clarity, as well as the importance of lawmakers staying informed about crypto.Read a Q&A about the Grayscale lawsuit here.Read the Harris Poll survey results here.Read about the launch of the Grayscale Digital Infrastructure Opportunities LLC here.

The US has yet to see a spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) reach the market, but when a futures-based product got the green light from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) last year, issuers were hopeful. Some thought it signified the regulator becoming more comfortable with crypto products and a spot ETF could be on the horizon. But since then, the SEC continued to shoot down application after application on the basis that there aren't sufficient mechanisms to prevent price manipulation in the spot market. Grayscale, which has long desired to convert its flagship GBTC product into an ETF, took issue with this. During the SEC's continued extensions on its application, and after a series of rejections of other similar applications, the firm sent a letter saying the regulator could be violating its own procedures by approving a futures product but refusing to allow a spot-based product. The firm argued that futures are priced based on the underlying spot market, meaning any price manipulation in the spot market would affect futures products. The idea is if the regulator is comfortable with futures, it should be comfortable with a spot-based product. But Grayscale, too, received a rejection weeks later, spurring it to mount a legal challenge in the DC Court of Appeals. Now, it's gearing up to submit its first brief in the case, detailing its qualms with the SEC's rejection of its application. In this week's episode of Policy Scoop, Aislinn Keely sat down with Grayscale's Chief Legal Officer, Craig Salm, to take an in-depth look at the firm's argument. "It wasn't a decision that we made lightly, and during the course of that comment letter period, we had a couple of meetings with the Commission to try to work through their questions and the issues presented, lay out the arguments and reasoning why we felt that if they were okay with futures, they should now be okay with spot," said Salm. Episode 78 of Season 4 of The Scoop was recorded remotely with The Block's Aislinn Keely and Craig Salm, Chief Legal Officer at Grayscale.

Welcome to Five & Thrive: a weekly podcast highlighting the Southeast's most interesting news, entrepreneurs, and information of the week, all under 5 minutes.  My name is Jon Birdsong and I'm with Atlanta Ventures.  Companies Worth Applying To: A new number 1 spot has been taken on the leaderboard outside of the Atlanta Tech Village by PrizePicks. CEO, Adam Wexler, who we did a longer form interview on the Atlanta Story, set the goal to gain the top spot on the leaderboard years ago and achieved it this month as he and the PrizePicks team now are the largest tenant in the ATV. That will be a graduation party you don't want to miss when the time comes. Wexler recently shared he is looking for a Director of Social Media, a role near and dear to his heart based off his prior entrepreneurial experience. PrizePicks is the largest independently owned Daily Fantasy Sports platform in North America centered around real-money over/under predictions. If you live, breathe, eat, and sleep sports, this is the company for you. They are hiring for several roles.    Product of the Week:  This product of the week is out of Nashville led by Raven Hernandez and is called EarthRides which is a ridesharing app made up exclusively of Teslas. Right now, the service is available in Nashville and Austin with major plans to expand in other cities. 228 reviews on the Apple Store with an average 4.8 stars demonstrates there are plenty of happy customers who want a quiet, clean ride while being eco-friendly.  Intern Philosophy of the Week:  The simple philosophy is to find a Slack channel to revolve around. This summer, our interns, Evie and James, who you may have seen on our Instagram stories, are putting in phenomenal work helping us not only build this podcast but also make so much of our marketing efforts come to life – and it really got me thinking about how interns today can become a natural extension of organization regardless of existing societal structures. Let me explain: last summer we had Nic Terwindt in the office and on Slack. He did such a great job, all throughout his senior year, he stayed in the Atlanta Ventures Slack and continued helping. After graduating in May, he had several offers from local companies seeking his full time employment including Grayscale where he landed. In the world of remote work and centralized Slack communication the artificial barriers of traditional interns can be overcome, demonstrated by Nic and the growing group of impressive interns. Careers can start earlier than expected with the help of technology. If you are a parent listening and wondering how your son or daughter can get an internship in technology, have them find a Slack channel they can revolve around similar to the ways our marketing interns do today.    Raise a Glass: There are two companies worth mentioning this week who raised rounds in the Southeast. The first was announced out of Charlotte and it is called CivicEye. They raised $12.4M from Cercano Management which is a spin out from Paul Allen - the late Co-Founder of Microsoft's - Venture group he started in 2003. CivicEye is the platform for public safety that brings powerful and easy-to-use solutions to law enforcement, drug control, prosecution, campus police, private security, and fusion centers to keep communities safe. With only 28 employees on LinkedIn, you can guarantee they will be hiring in several departments.  The other company worth mentioning is one we have well familiarized ourselves with and that is Carpool Logistics. Atlanta Ventures led their latest round of $2M. Mike Malakov and team have built a marketplace that helps dealers and auto auctions ship and track cars more efficiently and reliably. Today that market is plagued by inefficient shipping of cars, little visibility, and a fragmented network of phone calls, emails, and personal connections to move cars between locations which is timely and expensive. Now, there is much more communication, coordination, and transparency with Carpool Logistics' technology. They are hiring in several roles.  Annnnd, that's 5 minutes.

Welcome to Five & Thrive: a weekly podcast highlighting the Southeast's most interesting news, entrepreneurs, and information of the week, all under 5 minutes.  My name is Jon Birdsong and I'm with Atlanta Ventures.  -- Company Coming Up:  Nectar, a TechStars Atlanta 21' company, helps real estate entrepreneurs scale with cash flow financing. Here is how it works: accredited investors invest in the Nectar Fund that yield 12-15% annual dividends. Nectar finds and works with the best and most proven short term rental entrepreneurs to help them grow their real estate portfolio and operation. These real estate investors are mostly proven AirBnB hosts with over 3 years of operating experience. This company is led by two Co-founders, Brittany Mosley and Derrick Barker. Both are Harvard graduates with extensive real estate and finance background. Keep an eye out for this company coming up and check out their website linked in the show notes.    Product of the Week:  This week we're highlighting Saleo led by Justin McDonald. Saleo empowers sales reps to build interactive and customized demos. As sales reps across the world give demos of their company's product, it is really hard to deliver an accurate, customized demo filled with rich data without the help of an engineer – which is timely and expensive. Saleo's software fixes this. There are several companies spawning in this early market and Saleo is making a fantastic splash with their entry. They recently raised their seed round. This market is one to follow in the upcoming months and years.      Events To Put on the Calendar:  The Jewish Business Network is hosting some top notch folks on July 25th at Chabad Intown, right across the street from Ponce City Market. Investors from Phoenix Capital, Overline, Joule, and Overtime will be sharing their thoughts and perspectives on the current state of fundraising and valuations. It is $18 to attend and the link is in the show notes.     Companies Worth Applying To: We mentioned them in episode one, but I just caught up with Ty Abernethy of Grayscale and they are hiring for senior positions in just about every category: VP of Sales, VP of Marketing, VP of Product, and more. Grayscale improves recruiting with SMS. Customers including Amazon, Wayfair, and hundreds of others use them to streamline communication with applicants and maintain a tight process when it comes to recruiting in high-volume industries.    Another early stage company hiring in Customer Success is TruckerCloud. This company is led by their CEO, Spencer Mitchell, and originated out of the Rule1 Ventures Studio. TruckerCloud connects any fleets' Electronic Logging Device (or ELD) data to any application with the use of their API. The product is scaling and customer success is needed. Give them search and click.        Acquisitions in the Air: It was announced this week that Nick Santora, the CEO of Curricula, sold his company to Huntress, the managed security platform for SMB's. Nick and his team started Curricula back in 2015 as a security awareness training platform. Instead of the boring, check the box, traditional training software, Nick focused on fun, storytelling techniques, to captivate employees' attention and provide a superior education. In early 2020, they raised $3M and have grown the team and customers ever since. What started as a one man show out of the Atlanta Tech Village has now grown to a $22M exit. Impressive and exciting for Nick and the entire Curricula team. He wrote a thorough and heartfelt post on the translation that I encourage all who are listening to read.    Annnnd, that's 5 minutes.   Thank you for listening to Five and Thrive.
