alike,” Gensler said in a <a href="https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2024-182?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" node="[object Object]">statement</a>. “The staff comprises true public servants.” </p> <p>Gensler was appointed to lead the securities regulator in 2021.

Former Chair Mary Jo White, who served in the Obama administration, announced her resignation on Nov. 14, 2016. Jay Clayton, White’s successor, did the same after Trump lost his re-election bid in 2020. </p> <p>Gensler’s tenure was marked by a significant increase in cryptocurrency-related enforcement actions. Under his leadership, the Commission initiated more than 90 cases between 2021 and 2023, most of which dealt with alleged unregistered securities offerings. </p> <div data-ad-slot="/22757941429/ROS_mobile_articles_inContent1" data-ad-client="ca-pub-5302683418973475" id="div-gpt-ad-1667358047580-0" class="article-ad ad-slot ad-slot-label mt-8 mb-4 lg:hidden"></div><p>“Everything we’ve done is focused on ensuring compliance with our laws. What we’ve found since the 1930s is that compliance matters,” Gensler said of his crypto track record during an <a href="https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/speeches-statements/gensler-remarks-pli-s-56th-annual-institute-securities-regulation-111424" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" node="[object Object]">appearance</a> in New York earlier this month. “It protects investors. It builds trust in our capital markets. It helps issuers tap into our markets.” </p> <p>The SEC’s ongoing cases against crypto exchanges Coinbase and Binance are likely to continue under the next chair, although agency staff could request commissioners vote to seek dismissal. Any motion to dismiss would have to be approved by the court. </p> <p>Speculation about Trump’s pick to lead the SEC began well before Gensler’s announcement Thursday. Sources close to the matter told Blockworks that Commissioner Mark Uyeda is likely to be appointed acting chair following Trump’s inauguration.</p> <hr class="wp-block-separator

By Monday afternoon, its livestream feature had been temporarily deactivated.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe offending streams ranged from token launchers threatening to commit violent acts unless a coin’s price goes up to racist or disgusting content meant to create viral shock value and juice the token’s price. This all happened as pump.fun booked staggering $14.3 million in revenue on Saturday, according to a pump.fun dashboard, nearly tripling its previous high.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003ePump.fun is no stranger to edgy content. The site has drawn comparisons to the anonymous forum site 4chan for its often-unhinged content and lax approach to moderation. Before this current wave of disturbing livestreams, pump.fun had a large number of racially insensitive or pornographic tokens, none of which are subject to content moderation.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut as disturbing livestreams went viral on X, pump.fun’s anonymous founder alon wrote that the platform would work to protect users from seeing “repulsive/dangerous content.” In a separate thread, alon \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/a1lon9/status/1860036153249787911\"\u003esaid\u003c/a\u003e pump had taken down a stream of a user threatening to shoot their dog unless a token’s market capitalization increased, noting that the platform has now \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/a1lon9/status/1860653405837963528\"\u003etaken\u003c/a\u003e down “hundreds of streams.”\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eA little after 2:00 p.m., pump.fun disabled livestreams on the platform\u0026nbsp;altogether. In a blog post shortly after, pump.fun cited “unprecedented growth” as the key challenge to content moderation before adding that livestreams would be paused “for an indefinite time period.”\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis feels like an inflection point for a platform that has separated itself as the most viral application on Solana, booking nearly $250 million in revenue since launching. Largely on the back of memecoin activity emanating from pump.fun, Solana has seen \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/smyyguy/status/1861038014253666417\"\u003erecord\u003c/a\u003e demand for its blockspace, which in turn has lined the pockets of the validators who run the blockchain’s software.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eLeaders in the Solana world largely cast memecoins either as a stress test for the network or as an emerging, if currently unserious, financial use case for memes. Even among those who oppose crypto being used for what is essentially gambling, it’s frowned upon to tell users or developers what they should or shouldn’t do with blockchain technology.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eMultiple crypto posters shrugged off the pump.fun criticism, pointing out that every large social tech platform has had its warts with content moderation.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut as Solana and crypto hopes for a shift to the mainstream, some are calling for a reckoning with memecoins’ downsides.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Pump Fun is going to become a massive reputational stain on the crypto industry, on par with FTX,” Chainlink community liaison Zach Rynes wrote on X. Tech lawyer Preston Byrne also pointed out that the platform “does a lot very incorrectly from a social media law” perspective.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eUp until now, pump.fun’s playbook has largely been to \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/news/lightspeed-newsletter-pump-dot-fun-memecoin\"\u003emake light of criticism\u003c/a\u003e through trolling.

He’s revising that again, according to a Monday note — this time to $650.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis comes after MicroStrategy last week completed a $3 billion offering of convertible senior notes. It then revealed in a Monday filing that it bought \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/news/btc-100k-microstrategy-buy\"\u003e55,500 BTC\u003c/a\u003e from Nov. 18 to Nov. 24 for $5.4 billion in cash (averaging $97,862 each).\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eMSTR shares hovered around $402 at 2 pm ET Monday — down 4.7% on the day but up 70% from a month ago.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe strength of the MSTR rally has some \u003ca href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4739669-microstrategy-paying-245000-per-bitcoin-makes-no-sense-mstr-stock\"\u003equestioning\u003c/a\u003e the idea that these shares should trade at a nearly 3x premium to the market value of the company’s BTC pile.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut MicroStrategy, via treasury operations, has generated ~79,130 bitcoins YTD, translating into a 41.8% BTC yield (the % change of the ratio between MSTR’s bitcoin holdings and its fully diluted share count), Palmer explained. That BTC is currently worth roughly $7.5 billion.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e“We regard the dollar values of the bitcoins that MSTR creates, calculated by using its BTC yield, as analogous to earnings, and we believe they can be projected and contextualized through the attachment of a valuation multiple,” he said.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn to Coinbase, Oppenheimer analysts on Monday raised their COIN price target from $265 to $358. The stock was trading around $311 at 2 pm ET Monday.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey mention that the “chilling effect” created by SEC lawsuits against “widely perceived good actors” in the segment, like Coinbase, “can’t be understated.”\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e“It had deterred new capital going into this space, and many developers had pivoted to other industries,” they added. “But the industry has a chance to rebuild the reputation, and Coinbase is leading this new chapter.”\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the expectation of a \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/news/gary-gensler-resigning\"\u003eyet-to-be-named\u003c/a\u003e new SEC chair embracing crypto as a catalyst, Coinbase’s trading volumes have increased substantially since the US election.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAverage daily volumes have risen to $6.5 billion since Election Day — higher than the $2.4 billion YTD average prior to Nov. 5. Oppenheimer is projecting Q4 spot trading volume to be $350 billion (would be up 89% quarter over quarter and 127% year over year) and for “high trading volume to sustain under \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/news/revisiting-trumps-crypto-promises-after-his-election-win\"\u003eTrump\u0026#8217;s crypto policy\u003c/a\u003e.”\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs for other crypto stocks, Compass Point analyst Joe Flynn increased Galaxy’s price target from $22 (CAD) to $33 (~$24 CAD on Monday afternoon).\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond higher crypto prices and trading volumes momentum, GLXY is set to benefit from its expected uplisting to the Nasdaq and its term sheet with a hyperscaler to host high-performance computing (HPC) at its Helios campus — a datacenter Flynn called an “underappreciated asset.”\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eFlynn, also last week, lowered its rating of bitcoin miner Marathon Digital’s stock to neutral. He noted that “while MARA is an outsized beneficiary of higher BTC prices due to its HODL strategy, we don\u0026#8217;t see much additional upside from the base business itself.”\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen there’s competing miner Core Scientific (CORZ), which notably \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/news/core-scientific-rejects-coreweave-buyout-bid-after-big-hpc-deal\"\u003eoffers HPC hosting\u003c/a\u003e to cloud provider CoreWeave. Flynn wrote earlier this month that CORZ is “well positioned to continue expanding their existing lead in delivering application specific HPC/GPU datacenters with a single tenant focus.”\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eCORZ is the top holding in the Amplify Transformational Data Sharing ETF (BLOK) — the largest blockchain-focused equity ETF. Other stocks in the top five are COIN, MSTR, Hut 8 Mining and GLXY.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eDan Weiskopf, who co-manages BLOK’s portfolio, said it’s hard to value blockchain-fueled disruption over the next decade as regulations become more crypto-friendly.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe told me: “The real excitement should be around the adoption of tokenization as the application and how blockchain as the technology will \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/news/investor-appetite-for-tokenized-funds\"\u003esoon transform\u003c/a\u003e industries across the

The firm, in an SEC filing this morning, announced that it purchased 55,500 bitcoin — worth $5.4 billion — at the end of last week into the weekend at an average price of nearly $98,000 per bitcoin.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0001050446/000119312524264733/d844494d8k.htm\"\u003efiling\u003c/a\u003e was actually kind of expected, given that we knew a big purchase was on the horizon after it announced at the end of last week that it closed its bond offering. And that came after it was upsized to nearly \u003cem\u003e$3 billion \u003c/em\u003efrom an initial $1.75 billion.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe most recent purchase comes on the \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/news/microstrategy-bitcoin-bet\"\u003eheels of a $4.6 billion buy\u003c/a\u003e earlier this month. That means — if you’re looking at the math — we’ve seen Saylor’s company buy up \u003cem\u003e$10 billion \u003c/em\u003eworth of bitcoin this month alone.

While spot volumes on the week after the election brought the daily traded value to above $40 billion, over the past week it was slightly lower at $25-35 billion but still two to three times the levels we have been seeing between March 2024 and the election,” Lawant wrote.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, the volume jump hasn’t led to an increase in book order depth,

Not a bad deal.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"\u003e80%\u003c/h2\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat’s roughly the percentage of Solana decentralized exchange activity that involved memecoins yesterday. Speculative meme tokens have largely been the story of Solana’s massive run-up in volume and blockspace demand. Solana founders and investors will often portray memecoins as a “stress test” for the network — presumably as it readies itself to onboard more meaningful financial activity.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"\u003e1,150%\u003c/h2\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat’s roughly the price appreciation between when Robinhood delisted SOL in June 2023 and when it added the token back to the platform last week. The popular retail trading app stopped offering SOL and repaid users at June 2023 market prices after the SEC declared in lawsuits against Coinbase and Binance that the asset is an unregistered security. Following Donald Trump’s electoral victory and the prospect of a more crypto-friendly regulatory environment, Robinhood brought SOL back. Robinhood users missed out on some pretty big gains in between those dates.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003chr class=\"wp-block-separator

He said yesterday he would be resigning, effective 12 pm ET on Jan. 20, 2025 — the exact time President-elect Donald Trump is scheduled to be inaugurated. We’re not surprised, but we got a chuckle out of him unprecedentedly naming the exact time he would leave the post.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd then today, fellow Democrat Commissioner \u003ca href=\"https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/speeches-statements/gensler-statement-lizarraga-departure-112224?utm_medium=email\u0026amp;utm_source=govdelivery\"\u003eJaime Lizárraga\u003c/a\u003e announced he would also depart early on Inauguration Day, saying he wants to spend more time with his family as his wife battles breast cancer. We wish her and the Lizárraga family all the best.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the legal front, one federal judge this week came to the same decision in two separate cases. Judge Reed O’Connor of the Northern District of Texas found the SEC had overstepped its authority and must vacate the Dealer Rule, adopted in February by a 3-2 commissioner vote. Republican Commissioners Hester Peirce and Mark Uyeda dissented against the Dealer Rule.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rulings were seen as a win for both the hedge fund and crypto industries, protecting companies and managers in both groups from what has been described as “severe and adverse” changes in policy. Under the rule, certain hedge funds and crypto traders and validators would have been considered “dealers,” a classification both groups found \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/news/sec-expands-dealer-rule-crypto-firms\"\u003eprohibitively strict\u003c/a\u003e.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt looks like changes at the agency are coming even before Trump moves back to Washington.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/news/donald-trump-cabinet-selection\"\u003ewrote earlier\u003c/a\u003e in the week about how there was a chance the commissioner voting breakdown would remain the same even after Trump takes office. With two spots now up for grabs, we know this won’t be the case.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo more than three commissioners can be from the same party, and with Gensler out we can all but guarantee a Republican will be in as the next chair. That means Lizárraga’s vacant spot will go to a Democrat or Independent. Typically in this case, the Democrats would submit names for Trump to consider. But we know the Trump Administration often veers from the conventional.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eI’m still skeptical, though, that we will see any pending litigation dismissed. Even if the SEC now swings Republican (and potentially more pro-crypto), its staff would have to ask the commissioners to dismiss a lawsuit. These are staffers that have worked on these cases, in many instances, from the beginning.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs we enter this new era of the SEC, it’s important to remember that Gensler’s predecessor — Chair Jay Clayton, a Trump nominee — was the one who brought the \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/news/ripple-fined-civil-penalty-sec-lawsuit\"\u003eRipple case\u003c/a\u003e over XRP’s \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/news/forward-guidance-newsletter-sec-ripple-inflation\"\u003esecurity status\u003c/a\u003e in 2020. He also brought an additional 79 crypto-related enforcement actions during his tenure, plus a separate action against Trump ally Elon Musk. Clayton is now headed to lead prosecution at the Southern District of New York, if Trump has his way. \u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eDespite Clayton’s track record, he’s largely praised by the industry as being \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/news/bitcoin-etf-approval-inevitable-jay-clayton\"\u003epro-crypto\u003c/a\u003e. We know Trump wasn’t always a fan of the industry, so maybe he’s not the only one who can have a change of heart.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003chr class=\"wp-block-separator

Well for one, the six-figure mark represents “a psychological barrier for markets” and a price target investors have been eyeing since the last crypto bull run, Brokate explained.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe noted, too, that BTC’s price last week quickly rose another 3-5% after hitting the $90,000 mark with enough volume — a scenario that could happen again \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/news/bitcoin-could-hit-100k-within-weeks\"\u003eat $100,000\u003c/a\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e“If the barrier isn’t decisively broken by Thanksgiving, we could expect to see prices come down 15-20% — a correction that would test the $80,000 support level and wash out leveraged and low-conviction players,” Brokate told me.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eReaching the six-figure level would mean “greater short-term volatility as orders are filled, options liquidate and liquidity providers fulfill ETF block order requests,” he said, adding: “It wouldn’t be surprising to see some drawdown in the coming months.”\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eOutside of BTC, Brokate noted that altcoin markets \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/news/altcoin-season-when-bitcoin-dominance-hits-60\"\u003eoften surge\u003c/a\u003e after bitcoin establishes a price plateau. This comes as investors tend to rotate to what are viewed as “higher-risk, higher-reward opportunities.” Perhaps that happens in late Q1, or Q2, the 21Shares executive posed.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile solana (SOL) just reached a \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/news/solana-sets-all-time-high-of-263\"\u003enew price peak\u003c/a\u003e at roughly $263, ether (ETH) remains about 32% off its November 2021 high. XRP was up about 65% from a week ago, as of 2 pm ET Friday.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, Thanksgiving might mean more than turkey and football this year. After all, Brokate reminded, holiday gatherings are often a time investors discuss their investment journeys and gains, sparking curiosity.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eBrokate recalled that in 2017, BTC hovered in the $6,000-to-$9,000 range before surging to about $16,000 after Thanksgiving.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe added: “We may see a similar move this

Horsley said the US presidential election was “absolutely relevant” in Bitwise’s decision to file for a SOL ETF, and now feels like a “constructive time” to engage with regulators after mulling over an application for around a year.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eLike competitors VanEck and 21Shares, Bitwise currently offers a Solana exchange-traded product in Europe — a product it gained access to by way of \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/news/bitwise-europe-acquisition-crypto-etps\"\u003eacquiring London-based ETC Group\u003c/a\u003e in August. The Solana ETP currently has $27 million in assets under management (AUM), which is dwarfed by some competitors — 21Shares’ Solana ETP holds nearly $1.4 billion, for instance.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a potential spot ETF, Bitwise and its competitors will seek to let US investors get exposure to SOL’s price action in a regulated wrapper.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eSOL has the chance to become the third crypto to get a US-traded ETF. The first, bitcoin, \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/news/day-1-bitcoin-etf-trading-volume\"\u003esaw impressive inflows\u003c/a\u003e after launching while the second, ether, was much \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/news/on-the-margin-newsletter-ether-etf-data-takeaways\"\u003eless in-demand\u003c/a\u003e. I asked Horsley if the uninspiring ether flows spelled trouble for SOL ETFs. He responded that ether ETFs faced an uphill battle since they launched over the summer (when asset managers are likely vacationing in the south of France), ether hasn’t had great price action this market cycle, and two crypto ETFs were a lot for slow-moving capital markets to absorb in a short time.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eHorsley was effusive in talking about Solana overall, calling SOL “an incredible emerging asset and story.” Later on, the Bitwise boss said many bitcoin ETF buyers may be looking for the “next big thing” in crypto.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e“For a lot of investors, the answer to that is Solana,” Horsley said.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003chr class=\"wp-block-separator

Former Chair Mary Jo White, who served in the Obama administration, announced her resignation on Nov. 14, 2016. Jay Clayton, White’s successor, did the same after Trump lost his re-election bid in 2020.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eGensler’s tenure was marked by a significant increase in cryptocurrency-related enforcement actions. Under his leadership, the Commission initiated more than 90 cases between 2021 and 2023, most of which dealt with alleged unregistered securities offerings.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Everything we’ve done is focused on ensuring compliance with our laws. What we’ve found since the 1930s is that compliance matters,” Gensler said of his crypto track record during an \u003ca href=\"https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/speeches-statements/gensler-remarks-pli-s-56th-annual-institute-securities-regulation-111424\"\u003eappearance\u003c/a\u003e in New York earlier this month. “It protects investors. It builds trust in our capital markets. It helps issuers tap into our markets.”\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SEC’s ongoing cases against crypto exchanges Coinbase and Binance are likely to continue under the next chair, although agency staff could request commissioners vote to seek dismissal. Any motion to dismiss would have to be approved by the court. \u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpeculation about Trump’s pick to lead the SEC began well before Gensler’s announcement Thursday.
