So, the crypto world was getting all excited about these ETFs, right? Finally, something potentiallyā¦useful. And then the SEC tells everyone to re-file. Okay, fine. Progress, they said. āCollaboration.ā Yeah, right. Like the government collaborates on anything. š But then, naturally, a government shutdown happens. Of course it does! It’s like they want to inconvenience people. It justā¦stalls everything. Momentum? Forget about it. Gone. Poof!
- They want us to think this ETF thing is working out-then BAM! Shutdown. What a surprise.
- Blockchain? It just works. 24/7. No drama. No politicians. Honestly, itās almostā¦suspiciously efficient.
- We need to put blockchain on everything. It actually functions. Maybe we should run the government on it. Just a thought. š¤
Government shutdowns. Itās justā¦ it’s a testament to how much we rely on these centralized systems that can justā¦stop. It makes you wonder, doesn’t it? I mean, blockchain is always on. Always there. It’s like the reliable friend you have who isnāt constantly embroiled in some ridiculous scandal.
Crypto ETFs and the Limits of Centralizedā¦Everything
ETFs. Everyone loves them. Theyāve grown like weeds, apparently-27%! $14.6 Trillion! Whoās counting? It’s a lot. People like feelingā¦safe, I guess. That oversight thing. Makes them sleep better at night. Even though it clearly doesn’t preventā¦ shutdowns.
BlackRock, VanEck, all these big names are getting involved. Which just means more regulations, more paperwork, more potential for things to go wrong. The SEC actually encouraged people to withdraw their filings? That’sā¦ unusual. Itās like telling someone their paperwork is wrong, then saying, “But donāt worry, it’s good news!” Itās very SEC.
Canaryās Litecoin ETFā¦ almost approved! Almost. Until the government decided to, you know, not work. Itās just the timing! It’s always the timing. Centralization, folks. Itās a disaster waiting to happen. And apparently, it’s happening now.
What Permissionless Systems Show Us
People are scared of crypto. They call it the āWild West.ā As if banks have a spotless reputation. At least with blockchain, you can see whatās going on. It’s transparent. Auditable. You canāt say that about a lot of things. Especially taxes. š§
Blockchain doesn’t take holidays. Doesnāt care about political squabbles. It justā¦ does its thing. 24/7. No downtime. Transactions settle in real time. Sounds pretty good, right? Compared to waiting three days for a check to clear? Please.
Stablecoins, decentralized exchanges, smart contractsā¦ these things just work. Without needing someoneās permission. Itāsā¦radical, I know.
Onchain indexing. It’s basically an automatic ETF, but, you know, better. No custodians, no approvals. Just rules. And everything’s on the blockchain for everyone to see. It’s a concept.
You can get instant access to a portfolio without waiting for anyone. Now that is efficiency. Why can’t everything be this simple?
A Balanced Path Forward
The crypto communityās willing to play nice with the traditional financial world. ETFs are a bridge. A slightly rickety, regulatory-burdened bridge, but a bridge nonetheless. Makes it easier for people to get involved without feeling like they’re joining some underground network.
But progress needs to be, you know, actual progress. Regulation isnāt a magic bullet. It doesn’t make systems resilient. We need transparency. Auditability. The same things blockchain already offers. Itās not rocket science. Seriously.
The SEC has a chance to do something right here. To create a system thatās both safe and efficient. A hybrid model. It’s a big ask.
The SECās recent actionsā¦things are changing. The regulated world and the permissionless world are colliding. And I’m bracing for impact. This whole thing is a mess. But itās an interesting mess.
If they can get this right, ETFs and blockchain could actually coexist. A harmonious balance of trust and innovation. But I’m not holding my breath.
Thomas Mattimore is the CEO of ABC Labs. Sounds important. He’s been messing with crypto since 2014. That’sā¦a while. He’s building systems to “enhance financial freedom.” Which is nice. I guess. Heās dedicated to some things. Everybody is.
