for Black Friday this is crazy look look
at what's next for binance and some of
the allegations here and then we got to
talk about the Bitcoin ETF because
that's going to be pretty intense as
well uh but I believe that in order to
get the Bitcoin ETF approved we've got
to get through the entire binance Saga
The binance Saga is really just
beginning even though the doj probe is
over the SEC probe is still going and
take a look at one of the allegations
here of how the SEC is setting up the
story against binance and then what they
want binance to do and what that could
mean is it good or bad for crypto first
of all want to be clear I think that the
doj probe and settlement was actually
good for crypto it removes some of the
negativity in crypto brings us to
regulation AML kyc whatever this is
actually a good thing I would rather
have legitimate Americans and Pension
funds and institutions investing in
crypto than terrorist organizations so
with that said take a look at this uh
this is what the SEC is setting up the
story the SEC is going with they're
basically taking quotes from Zhao where
he says things like the following Zhao
confirmed in April of 2019 when
commenting on a ranking of crypto asset
platforms by trading volume quote
credibility is the most important asset
for any exchange if an exchange fakes
trading volume why would you trust them
with your funds okay yeah that makes
sense like if you have fake trading
volume or you're pumping fake volume for
your fun for for your exchange of course
if that comes out that would be sussy
and you shouldn't trust them well the
SEC stitches this together with the
following line
274 5 years later April 6 2020
binance.us platform made crypto asset
security Coe available for for trading
shortly after it was available Sigma
chain engaged in substantial wash wash
trading which is basically creating fake
volume like putting in buy limit orders
and sell limit orders just to fake
volume the following chart summarizes
this activity over the ensuing 11 days
in which Sigma chain represented as much
as 35% of the trading volume on the
platform and then they give you the
trading volume here now what interesting
is Sigma is controlled by ziao and here
the SEC is basically trying to stitch
together and argue you're literally
doing the stuff you said you would not
do you're deceiving your customers now
this is it's worth noting what the
charges are here because Zhao on Twitter
argues that hey like they're not
alleging Market manipulation or misuse
of funds correct the Department of
Justice is not but look at what the SEC
is charging and then what they
ultimately want which we'll get to that
and we'll talk about how that affects
Bitcoin and the ETF the SEC alleges that
Z and binance exercised control of the
platform's customer assets permitting
the co-mingling of customer assets or
diverting customer assets as they please
the SEC is basically alleging binance is
doing the same thing that FTX was doing
which obviously was a giant fraud
including to an entity Zhao well it's
obvious now it wasn't then including to
an entity Z owned and controlled called
Sigma chain further the complaint
alleges the defendants concealed the
fact that they were comingling billions
of investor assets and sending investor
assets to a third party yikes these are
massive allegations by the SEC here and
these literally are investor violation
allegations and Market manipulation
allegations now those are exactly the
things that Zhao implies he was not
alleged with but he's just saying the
Department of Justice didn't allege that
they're just alleging anti-money
laundering rules and wire fraud rules
the SEC however is alleging that so this
SEC case will probably have to get
cleared in my opinion before we get ETF
approvals now we could be wrong who
knows maybe tomorrow maybe by the time I
post this video the ETS will be approved
who knows I suspect though some kind of
either settlement or some kind of
resolution will have to come from this
SEC case before you can actually get a
clear ETF approval my take now what does
the SEC want well the SEC wants binance
bam trading and Zhao to basically never
again participate in any kind of
Securities transaction that is
unregistered okay that's a problem
because basically every crypto
transaction is unregistered almost with
the exception of some security tokens
that go out and actually get like a
regulation a crowd fund or whatever
pretty much everything is
unregistered so the SEC is essentially
saying we'll let you do crypto like
they're not saying you're permanently
banned from doing anything with crypto
they're saying you're permanently banned
from doing anything unregistered with
crypto which basically means if they
agree to this settlement and then a
btcf gets approved
guess what happens the SEC is basically
saying the only thing we will allow you
to do in America is trade the Bitcoin
ETF that's a huge Catalyst for the
Bitcoin ETF they're basically saying
look we need everything registered and
other than if it's not registered you
can't trade in it basically basically
what they're saying now what's really
interesting about that is I personally
believe that well first of all there's
this index called the uh crypto Gap
Galaxy Bloomberg index it just tracks
various different uh prices for
different crypto assets I think that
kind of index and then having an ETF
that tracks that index is probably going
to be the next Frontier for crypto so
it's not just a Bitcoin ETF but it's
going to be an avalanche a madic a
Solano ethereum cardono ETF because the
tax benefits of investing in crypto and
then being able to rebalance via an ETF
are are are massive but on top of that
it also gives you diversification it's
kind of like investing in the S&P 500
it's fantastic that is a great
opportunity I actually made a video on
this uh about a week or so ago uh the
video is titled you could watch this and
I explained some of the tax benefits of
the ETF just search for the video uh the
video where I again I break down exactly
what those tax benefits are how those
work in an ETF the video is titled quote
no one is paying attention to this next
crypto Game Changer crypto ETF ETFs and
custom crypto ETFs of different
allocations or whatever but I think
you'll essentially have an S&P 500 of
crypto it'll be like the crypto Galaxy
50 or whatever so that'll come and
binance will probably only in the US be
able to transact on registered
Securities which various different ETFs
would then be registered Securities so
it's a huge Catalyst for those however
it's not the best Catalyst for anything
that's not in the ETF rapper so it would
appear that potentially your lowest risk
in crypto is paying attention to crypto
assets that may have an ETF made after
them like who knows is cardono going to
get one is solomatic uh you know polygon
are they actually going to get ETFs will
ethereum get an ETF we don't know right
now most of the Hope seems to be on
Bitcoin now uh as far as Bitcoin JP
Morgan does have a negative
counterargument to what I'm saying here
they think that a lot of institutional
money is is already speculating and
locked up into crypto via the grayscale
Bitcoin trust that's a problem because
if the grayscale Bitcoin trust converts
to an
ETF and then the value pumps there's
potentially $2.7 billion that could flow
out of crypto at that moment because
finally that money will be unlocked
which had been se you know basically
trading for a discount for a long period
of time finally it'll be unlocked at
spot and so JP Morgan says look if all
that money stays in crypto we could stay
solid you know maybe people just move
from the uh uh grayscale Bitcoin trust
as an expensive ETF uh eventually ETF
right now it's not an ETF because there
is no ETF approv if it moves from
something like that to maybe like a
Kathy Wood you a 21 shares ETF then at
least it stays in the crypto Market you
keep that buying pressure up and you
don't see a collapse in valuations
however they see quote substantial
potential downside risk after an ETF
conversion in the short term as
institutions leave the already locked up
grayscale Bitcoin trust now that's
really interesting because I've
previously argued that it seems weird
that we're seeing a lot of pumping by
institutions of crypto going into or
institutions with crypto exposure going
into this ETF approval like it's one
thing if we have retail pump in it
because you know that's what we do as
retail you know it's like hey we're in
on this man we're all in on this like
we're excited about it right but the
level of pump I'm seeing from the
institutions is is a little sus and so I
kind part of me is like huh I wonder if
JP Morgan is right and and after that
grayscale Bitcoin trust converts you end
up seeing a temporary dip and then I
wonder is that the dip that you
potentially look at buying because
remember now you open up the floodgates
to potentially new fund managers wanting
crypto exposure so for example let's say
you in theory you you were running a a
pricing power style ETF let's say in
theory and you wanted to include you
know a little bit of a hedge or some
kind of diversification via crypto you
can't do that today but you could do
that once a Bitcoin ETF is approved
that's why it's a game changer so
obviously uh you know BTC moving pretty
excitedly right now uh after the uh you
know binance settlement with the doj
that came as pretty expected uh I said
it immediately as it happened this is
bullish for Bitcoin uh it's not bullish
for Zhao there are fears that he might
never return that he'll just take the L
on the $200 million of bond or whatever
that he paid and burn the people who
helped spot that and that it'll never
come back he says obviously he'll come
back he's sort of pretending to be
retired on Twitter right now when the
reality is he's you know it's it's just
not a retirement you're potentially
facing a jail sentence here and we're
not even on the SEC settlement yet like
we're just on part one part two coming
is is going to be the real one uh Duwan
uh former CEO of Terra formal Labs
obviously from the teral Luna collapse
who wiped out you know went went over
$45 billion were wiped out in a week uh
well at least in market cap so not
necessarily nominal value but anyway uh
he is expected to be approved for
extradition to the United States
remember he was found in a Montenegro
airport it's kind of silly that he ended
up trying to travel on his passport well
I guess I I don't know if they ended up
finding his fake ID or how they ended up
pulling it off but yeah you know a lot
of cameras at airports anyway that's how
how they found him and uh obviously uh
there is you know continued flow of
information on Argentina Argentina will
be really interesting as they
potentially push for some form of
Bitcoin as legal tender adoption when El
Salvador adopted Bitcoin they did so uh
at a pretty rough time for Bitcoin
prices basically went straight down so
uh public confidence in Bitcoin was very
little only about 133% of people were
confident in Bitcoin that could be
different having an Argentinian adoption
during a Bull Run that would be a much
better time uh the last time we've also
seen Bitcoin sit about at uh 38,200 was
about 570 days ago as you can see we
just hit about 38,400 back down under
38k right now and apparently FTX is
using a new form of currency to get
things done in jail mackerel bags yeah
fish he's got fish crazy crazy world
that we're in uh anyway go to me Kevin
