It was a historic week for crypto ETFs as Solana, Hedera, and Litecoin hit Wall Street 13 months after Ethereum launched, kicking off a wider wave of token-based funds. Bitwise's $BSOL led the charge with $56M in daily volume and $69.5M in inflows on its NYSE debut, followed by Hedera with $8.6M volume and $2.2M inflows on Nasdaq.
Guests: Bitwise President Teddy Fusaro and Hedera Foundation's Gregg Bell break down the ETF launches. Plus, Cryptex co-founder Joe Sticco unveils the Crypto 40 Index, a fully-decentralized benchmark tracking 40 digital assets representing roughly 85% of the global crypto market cap.
Kevin Kennedy is the Executive Vice President of North American Markets at Nasdaq. In this conversation, we discuss how Nasdaq is integrating blockchain technology and digital assets into its long-term strategy. We get into Nasdaq's priorities, emphasizing liquidity, integrity, and transparency, while also discussing recent developments like extended trading hours, tokenization, and partnerships in the digital asset space. Kevin also reflects on changes in regulatory landscapes and how Nasdaq is adapting to maintain a competitive edge.This episode is sponsored by Gemini: https://gemini.com/CIA
