VanEck CEO Predicts Ethereum Will Power Stablecoin Bank Transfers

VanEck CEO Predicts Ethereum Will Power Stablecoin Bank Transfers

The post VanEck CEO Predicts Ethereum Will Power Stablecoin Bank Transfers appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jan van Eck, the CEO of investment management firm VanEck, speculated that Ethereum will be the clear “winner” among blockchains as banks prepare for a flood of stablecoins.  During an interview with Fox News Business on Wednesday, van Eck said banks and financial services will have to adopt a blockchain to handle stablecoin transactions, and he thinks Ethereum should be the one. “It’s very much what I call the Wall Street token. And what I mean by that is, if you think that because of stablecoins, now every bank and every financial services company has to have a way of taking in stablecoins,” he said. “So the winner is, who’s going to be building on these blockchains? It’s going to be Ethereum or something that uses Ethereum kind of methodology, which is called ECM.”  “Ethereum is the Wall Street token,” says @JanvanEck3. pic.twitter.com/9NAqjh8r0x — VanEck (@vaneck_us) August 27, 2025 Last month, the US House passed the Genius Act, which President Donald Trump then signed into law. The legislation focuses on stablecoins and is the country’s first federal law focused exclusively on payment stablecoins. Meanwhile, total stablecoin supply has just crossed $280 billion. Ethereum or something like it will be the stablecoin blockchain The CEO of VanEck also predicted that with many companies making efforts toward adopting stablecoins, banks will need to adapt or lose out. A May 14 report from enterprise-grade digital assets platform Fireblocks found that 90% of institutional players surveyed are exploring the use of stablecoins in their operations. “Companies have to employ technology to enable stablecoin usage over the next 12 months. It will take a while, but no financial services company wants to say, ‘no, don’t send me that digital dollar,’” van Eck said. “If I want to send you stablecoins, your bank has to figure…

21Shares files for spot Sei ETF

21Shares files for spot Sei ETF

The post 21Shares files for spot Sei ETF appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. 21Shares today filed a form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, seeking to register the 21Shares Sei ETF, a trust offering direct exposure to SEI, the Sei Network’s native token. The filing names Coinbase Custody Trust Company as the ETF’s custodian, with Coinbase, Inc. acting as prime broker. Net asset value would be calculated using the CF SEI-Dollar Reference Rate — New York Variant, published by CF Benchmarks, which aggregates prices across multiple spot venues to ensure transparency and reduce reliance on any single market feed. The filing also allows for discretionary staking of SEI if regulators and tax authorities determine it would not compromise compliance. 21Shares is a crypto-native ETP provider that pioneered the world’s first physically-backed crypto exchange-traded product (ETP) — dubbed “HODL” — on the SIX Swiss Exchange.  By the end of 2024, it was one of the largest global issuers of crypto ETPs with 44 listed products in numerous currencies. The company raised funding in 2022 at a valuation of around $2 billion and is now part of the 21.co Group. If approved, the Sei ETF would join bitcoin and ether ETFs already trading, alongside pending SEC applications for Solana and XRP. This is a developing story.

OpenWav Bridges East And West To Empower Artists With New Direct-To-Fan App

OpenWav Bridges East And West To Empower Artists With New Direct-To-Fan App

The post OpenWav Bridges East And West To Empower Artists With New Direct-To-Fan App appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. OpenWav, a newly launched platform co-founded by entrepreneur Jaeson Ma, is taking a direct aim at one of the music industry’s biggest flaws: the disconnect between an artist’s listenership and their income. With an all-in-one, mobile-first, direct-to-fan platform that empowers independent artists to generate income through ticketing, on-demand merchandise, exclusive content, and subscriptions. OpenWav wants to turn followers into customers and careers into livelihoods. When considering the future of the music industry from a marketing perspective, it helps to break it down into three core pillars: distribution, consumption, and promotion. Today, anyone can distribute their music, and anyone can consume it. The barriers to entry are gone. But promotion, the ability to understand who is listening and reliably connect with fans to build a career, remains unsolved. A striking metric illustrates this gap: of the 12 million artists who uploaded music to Spotify in 2024, only 0.6% earned $10,000 or more in royalties. The challenge in the music industry is that for most artists, streaming is the gateway to brand-building, which then enables monetization through ticketing, merchandise, brand deals, and subscriptions. Yet, without the music itself, these revenue streams wouldn’t exist. The difficulty lies in translating streaming metrics into direct fan relationships and sustainable income. Aside from the nominal cost per stream, the inability to make a living as an artist is largely due to how fragmented the music industry remains. Since artists do not own the platforms on which their content is distributed or consumed, they lack the ability to connect directly with fans who are already listening. Additionally, they do not have access to the data required to understand who their core listener base is and take advantage of the opportunities to succeed. Especially the opportunities that AI-powered technology is now presenting. It is common to see an…

21Shares Seeks SEC Nod to Launch First SEI ETF

21Shares Seeks SEC Nod to Launch First SEI ETF

The post 21Shares Seeks SEC Nod to Launch First SEI ETF appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A new SEI exchange-traded fund (ETF) from 21Shares has been registered in an S-1 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. It was submitted August 28, 2025, and it is the latest move by the firm to diversify its digital assets products. 21Shares SEI ETF to Track SEI Price with Potential Staking Option This suggested fund will expose investors to SEI, the native token of the Sei Network and it is named 21Shares SEI ETF. According to the SEC document, the ETF is designed as a passive investment vehicle. This means that it will only track SEI’s price performance. It will not use leverage, derivatives, or speculative trading strategies. The filing states that the SEI ETF’s objective is to track the CF SEI-Dollar Reference Rate – New York Variant, a benchmark calculated by CF Benchmarks Ltd. The ETF’s shares will be valued daily based on this benchmark. The firm will hope the SEC won’t delay its ruling on this ETF. The SEC has previously postponed its decision on the 21Shares Polkadot ETF filing. This highlights the regulator’s caution in approving new crypto funds. The fund also intends to be involved in staking provided the regulators permit it. The trust will gain further SEI rewards by staking. Though, this decision will be based on legal and tax considerations as has been highlighted in the filing. Any staking will be carried out using third-party service providers. Coinbase Custody Will Offer Security for the 21Shares SEI ETF In addition, the custodian of the ETF will be Coinbase Custody Trust Company. All SEI tokens will be kept in their custody on behalf of the investors. It is interesting to note that Coinbase also provides custody for 21Shares’ ONDO tokens when the company submitted its ONDO ETF filing. The filing emphasizes that assets…

Tether Unleashes $1 Billion In New USDT As Crypto Market Recovers

Tether Unleashes $1 Billion In New USDT As Crypto Market Recovers

Tether minted 1 billion in USDT on Wednesday, a move that market watchers say added fresh liquidity to crypto markets already moving higher. Related Reading: $160K Bitcoin By Christmas? Analysts Say It’s Still Possible Based on reports, the total crypto market cap bounced from an intraday low near $3.80 trillion to about $3.90 trillion on the same day, while Bitcoin traded around $112,300 and Ether reclaimed levels near $4,600. The minting stood out because it often signals ready cash that can be deployed quickly into exchanges and trading desks. Tether Minting Sparks Liquidity Flows New USDT issuance is frequently used to fund purchases, and the 1 billion issuance was flagged by on-chain trackers as a likely source of fresh buying power. Santiment and other trackers show that the number of addresses holding at least 1,000 BTC rose by 13 to about 2,085 since the start of August. At the same time, wallets holding at least 10,000 ETH increased by 48 to roughly 1,27. On August 26, US spot ether ETFs recorded about $450 million in net cash inflow, led by BlackRock’s ETHE with roughly $320 million that day. That pushed cumulative inflows into spot ether ETFs to near $13.30 billion, while US spot Bitcoin ETFs took in about $88 million with BlackRock’s IBIT posting roughly $45 million. The freshly minted USDT could be used by traders and desks to buy into Ether and other altcoins, matching the observable rotation from Bitcoin into alternative assets and ETF-linked demand. Whale Accumulation Intensifies Large holders were not the only sign of demand. Trading volumes and price moves showed altcoins gaining traction, but it was the flow of stablecoins that underpinned the story. When stablecoin supply rises, it lowers the friction for big buys: money can be moved to exchanges and executed faster than waiting for bank transfers. That operational detail helps explain why a billion mint draws attention even when headline prices are already climbing. The immediate effect of the mint was to give traders extra readily available cash. But liquidity injections are a two-sided event. They can push prices higher if buyers are aggressive, while concentrated buying and later profit-taking can cause sharp swings. Related Reading: Dogecoin Gears Up For Triple Surge Vs. Bitcoin – Details What Tether Minting Could Mean For Markets Market observers are watching liquidity, whale wallets, and ETF flows together because the mix determines whether a sustained capital rotation into altcoins will follow or if gains will be short lived. Tether’s 1 billion USDT mint was the clearest single signal of added spending power during Wednesday’s rebound. That supply, paired with heavy inflows into Ether ETFs and signs of whale accumulation, creates a setup where altcoin demand can grow quickly. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView

Ether ETFs Crush Bitcoin With 10x Higher Inflows This Week

Ether ETFs Crush Bitcoin With 10x Higher Inflows This Week

The post Ether ETFs Crush Bitcoin With 10x Higher Inflows This Week appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Spot Ether exchange-traded funds are selling like hot cakes in the US, attracting more than 10 times the inflows of their spot Bitcoin counterparts over the past five trading days.  Since Aug. 21, spot Ether ETFs have seen a whopping $1.83 billion in inflows, while Bitcoin funds took only a 10th of that with $171 million, according to CoinGlass.  The latest trading day on Wednesday continued the trend, with nine Ether (ETH) funds reaching $310.3 million in inflows, while the 11 spot Bitcoin (BTC) funds saw just $81.1 million.  Ether has recovered faster than Bitcoin this week, with ETH prices climbing 5% from their Tuesday low, whereas Bitcoin only managed to gain 2.8% over the same period.  The massive shift to Ether was not missed by industry observers such as Ethereum educator and investor Anthony Sassano, who described it as “brutal.”  Source: Anthony Sassano Meanwhile, NovaDius Wealth Management president Nate Geraci added that spot Ether ETFs are now close to $10 billion in inflows since the start of July. Spot Ether ETFs have been trading for 13 months and have seen $13.6 billion in total aggregate inflows, the majority of which has come in the last couple of months. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have been around longer, trading for 20 months with an aggregate inflow of $54 billion.  The Wall Street token The momentum has seemingly been shifting to Ethereum following the passing of the GENIUS Act stablecoin legislation in July, as the network has the largest market share of stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets.  Related: Investment advisers ‘dominating’ with $18.3B in Bitcoin, Ether ETFs “It’s very much what I call the Wall Street token,” said VanEck CEO Jan van Eck, speaking on Fox Business this week.  Meanwhile, Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart reported that investment advisers were the top holders…

21Shares pushes into altcoin ETFs with new SEI filing

21Shares pushes into altcoin ETFs with new SEI filing

The post 21Shares pushes into altcoin ETFs with new SEI filing appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways 21Shares filed an S-1 with the SEC for a SEI ETF, designed as a passive vehicle to track SEI performance. The ETF will custody assets with Coinbase and may engage in staking, while SEI traded at $0.29 at press time. 21Shares has filed a registration statement (S-1) with the SEC for a SEI exchange-traded fund (ETF), expanding its lineup of single-asset crypto investment products. The planned 21Shares SEI ETF would track the CF SEI-Dollar Reference Rate in US dollars. The product is structured as a passive fund holding SEI in custody with Coinbase Trust, without using leverage or derivatives. The fund could also stake part of its SEI holdings to earn rewards, but 21Shares said it has not yet decided whether to pursue that option. The Sei Network is a Layer 1 blockchain built for high-speed trading and exchange-focused apps. Its native token, SEI, is used for fees, governance, and staking. 21Shares’ filing comes amid a wave of altcoin ETF applications. VanEck, Bitwise, and Grayscale have submitted S-1s for Solana, while other issuers are pursuing products tied to XRP, Cardano, Dogecoin, HBAR, and Litecoin. Bloomberg analysts see approval odds above 90% for many of these funds. The company also joins the SEI race after Canary Capital filed the first S-1 for a SEI ETF and Cboe later submitted a 19b-4 for a staked version. At press time, SEI was trading at $0.29, according to CoinGecko data. Source: https://cryptobriefing.com/21shares-files-s-1-for-new-sei-etf/
