Hi, there: Welcome to an update of the most important moves and news in crypto and what’s on the near-term horizon in digital assets. I’m Mark DeCambre, managing editor of markets at MarketWatch, and for the next four weeks, from Oct. 3-24, we’ll be publishing Need to Know Crypto Edition as a prelude to a new weekly crypto newsletter “Distributed Ledger,” which will kick off in November.Crypto in a snap This week bitcoin BTCUSD, +1.46% and Ether ETHUSD, -2.

However, Sonnenshein suggested the SEC Chair had seemingly “leaned so far in one direction” that it raised the question “more importantly, are they, in fact, going beyond their investor protection mandate in focusing on one product type?”

The success of GLD “would suggest that the bitcoin ETF scenario would more likely mirror what has occurred for gold versus similar commodities like oil because bitcoin is easy to store,” Grayscale’s Sonnenshein said.What does that meme?‘Volcano energy’ El Salvador said it mined its first bitcoin using volcano energy.
