The New York Times
Hey folks.
Year 2024 will go down in the books of digital asset history.
Following ten years of collaboration with the SEC, the US regulator authorized the initial set of spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in January, sparking billions of dollars in institutional investment and paving the way for the subsequent surge in the wider cryptocurrency markets.
With institutional allowance supposed to surge and the approval of Ethereum spot ETFs recently, now is the moment to evaluate the preparedness of the digital asset and traditional financial industries.
However, the multibillion-dollar inflows and the extreme complexity of managing a bearer asset linked to a cryptographic key are beyond the capabilities of current ETF issuers. The fundamental causes are all connected to one issue: security.
The cash inflow is increasing at the gates, but what would matter is a stronger security as large capital inflows require remarkable stronger security solutions than those that are in place currently.
Issuers of ETF and other institutions investing in digital assets must prepare appropriately. Majority of spot Bitcoin ETF issuers depend on Coinbase for their solution of custody and most of the trading life cycle in the current model of ETF.
Institutional investments in digital assets and goods related to them are predicted to rise, according to EY-Parthenon research. This investor class is especially interested in tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs).
Big TradFi businesses must display to regulators that they are effectively alleviating risk.
