☆ Bitcoin ETFs bring in a new investor who bucks the 'HODL' culture and rebalances as bitcoin soars
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-08 | by ( Tanaya Macheel | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Crypto's culture encourages investors to "HODL," or hold on for dear life, in the rollercoaster ride of bitcoin 's extreme fluctuations. But this long-prized practice may diminish as adoption of ETFs grows, particularly if traditional investors who are accustomed to rebalancing their portfolios regularly add in bitcoin exposure. "From a risk management point of view, rebalancing is a good thing. But rebalancing also means that they're going to be sellers along this journey." At the moment, long-term holders are selling, as is normal during bull markets, after accumulating bitcoin during the bear market.

The U.S. presidential election has emerged as the next key catalyst for the price of bitcoin, and could push it to $150,000 by the end of the year, according to Standard Chartered. "As we approach the U.S. election I expect $100,000 to be reached and then $150,000 by year-end in the case of a Trump victory," Geoff Kendrick, head of digital assets research at Standard Chartered, wrote of bitcoin. "The Biden administration recently showed pragmatism in approving the ETH ETFs, but subsequently Biden vetoed efforts to repeal SAB 121 . Bitcoin could reach a new record over the weekend if Friday's nonfarm payrolls report is friendly, Kendrick said. The cryptocurrency's current record, reached on March 14, is $73,797.68.

Some Americans believe that real estate is the best long-term investment. If you're among them, real estate investment trusts, or REITs, might be the easiest way to tap the market. About 36% of surveyed Americans ranked real estate as the top long-term investment, more than cited stocks or mutual funds (22%), gold (18%), and savings accounts or certificates of deposits (13%), according to a recent survey by Gallup, a global analytics and advisory firm. A REIT is a publicly traded company that invests in different types of income-producing residential or commercial real estate. In many cases, you can buy shares of publicly traded REITs like you would a stock, or shares of a REIT mutual fund or exchange-traded fund.

☆ Trump in liberal San Francisco for high-dollar tech fundraiser
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-06 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

(Photo by Eva Marie Uzcategui/Getty Images)Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump will attend a fundraiser hosted by two tech venture capitalists in San Francisco on Thursday, a high-dollar event expected to draw Silicon Valley investors turned off by the Biden administration's policies. Trevor Traina, a San Francisco-based tech executive and former Trump ambassador to Austria, said business regulations implemented during Biden's presidency had alienated some people in the tech industry. Trump's campaign raked in record amounts after the guilty verdict last week, and the San Francisco event will add to his coffers. Vance, a potential running mate for Trump who previously lived in San Francisco and worked in venture capital, will attend the event, according to a source familiar with his plans. San Francisco remains a fertile fundraising ground for Democrats.

☆ Fintech firm Nium cuts valuation by 30% in new funding round, eyes 2025 IPO
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-04 | by ( Ryan Browne | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

The fundraising round was led by an undisclosed Southeast Asian sovereign wealth fund and backed by venture capital firms BOND, NewView Capital, and Tribe Capital. That marks a 30% discount to its previous valuation of $2 billion, which the firm notched in 2022 when it last raised external venture capital. Nanu said his company's down round was the result of a broader depression in public market valuations of fintech companies. He noted the example of Stripe, which raised a $95 billion valuation in the heady days of 2021 before slashing its value to $50 billion and then boosting its valuation to $65 billion in secondary share transactions. "Banks have gone from, crypto is hot, to not crypto, to crypto," he added.

☆ A small bitcoin allocation makes sense regardless of your thesis on the cryptocurrency, says Fidelity
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-04 | by ( Tanaya Macheel | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Some investors might be trying too hard to understand bitcoin and missing an investing opportunity in the process, according to an executive from Fidelity Digital Assets. Matt Horne, head of digital asset strategies at the firm's custody and trading arm for institutional investors, said investors and advisors are busy sharpening their cryptocurrency thesis when a small portfolio allocation is likely appropriate for them regardless of their thesis. "Most investors are saving money, investing money with an advisor, to meet some longer-term goal [such as] retirement," Horne added. "A non-zero position in something like bitcoin could make sense for a lot of clients given a long-term horizon [and] position sizing that's appropriate for their risk." Advisors who needed regulated funds like bitcoin ETFs to direct their wealthy clients to invest in bitcoin represented a big case for the funds.

While Musk hasn't formally endorsed Trump, one reason Silicon Valley heavy-hitters could be gravitating toward a convicted former president is a desire to see less regulation on tech development in America. AdvertisementCuban, a vocal opponent of Trump who has expressed his support for Joe Biden, told Business Insider in an email that he views the support from Silicon Valley and Wall Street billionaires for Trump as "self-serving." "So unless it's very light touch, which is unlikely at this point, the more influence they have over Ai regulation the better the opportunity to advantage themselves." "It's still very early to be imposing regulation," Sacks said. That's not to say every Silicon Valley player investing in AI and Trump hopes to see an unrestrained, Wild West of artificial intelligence development.

For one, bitcoin ETFs have been hailed as the most successful ETF launches in history, with BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) reaching $20 billion in assets under management this week, even with advisors sitting out. CNBC spoke with a dozen members of CNBC's Advisor Council, which includes Baker, to learn why so many financial planners are still down on bitcoin and bitcoin ETFs, and what could cause them to change their tune. Many hope consistent flows into bitcoin ETFs over the years can lower that volatility, but for now, it's still a deterrent for some.

Ryan Salame, a top executive at the collapsed cryptocurrency exchange FTX, was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison on Tuesday, making him the first of Sam Bankman-Fried’s circle of advisers at FTX to receive prison time. Mr. Salame, 30, a trusted lieutenant of Mr. Bankman-Fried, the exchange’s founder, pleaded guilty last year to a campaign finance law violation and a charge of operating an unlicensed money transmitting business. He is one of four top deputies in the FTX empire who have pleaded guilty to crimes since the company imploded in November 2022. Mr. Salame’s sentence exceeded the five to seven years that prosecutors had recommended. Judge Kaplan called Mr. Salame’s crimes “astonishing.”
