BlackRock files for bitcoin ETF in push into crypto
  + stars: | 2023-06-16 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust will use Coinbase Custody as its custodian, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Last year, BlackRock launched a spot bitcoin private trust for institutional clients in the United States. A spot bitcoin ETF would track bitcoin's underlying market price. The SEC rejected Grayscale Investment LLC’s application last year to convert its flagship spot Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC.PK) into an ETF. The SEC has also rejected proposals for spot bitcoin ETFs from firms including Fidelity, Cboe Global Markets and NYDIG.

  + stars: | 2023-05-08 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
Cryptocurrency exchange Binance halted bitcoin withdrawals for several hours on Monday, citing heavy volumes and a surge in processing fees, before clearing them at a higher cost. "Our set fees did not anticipate the recent surge in (bitcoin) network gas fees," Binance said in a tweet. "We're replacing the pending bictoin withdrawal transactions with a higher fee so that they get picked up by mining pools." "We need more information as to what has led to the large withdrawals." After an hour-long stoppage late on Sunday and several hours on Monday, Binance said withdrawals resumed.
SINGAPORE, Jan 6 (Reuters) - Crypto exchange Huobi plans to lay off about 20% of its staff, the company told Reuters on Friday. With the current state of the bear market, a very lean team will be maintained going forward," Huobi said in a statement, responding to queries from Reuters. Sun, a Chinese cryptocurrency entrepreneur who is also a member of Huobi's global advisory board, said in an internal memo to Huobi staff that the company has been like "a fire in the (crypto) winter" despite the deteriorating macro environment. Huobi was ranked the eighth largest crypto exchange in terms of volume as of last November, according to analytics website CoinGecko. It was not immediately clear how many staff Huobi currently has.
