CeFiWire Most Read for June 30
What was news for the week ending June 30, 2023. CeFiWire will be resting on the Fourth. Enjoy the fireworks if you are in the United States!
Today is a partial holiday in the United States as we celebrate July 4. We will be taking Tuesday off to celebrate the holiday.
Last week’s late news included both a rush by U.S. asset management firms to amend their Bitcoin ETC filings to include the name of the Bitcoin pricer that they are using as a part of their surveillance agreement after the SEC asked for that information through the Nasdaq and Cboe. No surprise, Coinbase is the exchange being used by one and all.
Digital asset custodians were the flavor of the week. The fallout from Prime Trust’s lost keys was the most mind-boggling news. Two custodian contracts came under doubt opening the doors to new players as both Citi and EDX markets are reviewing their existing partnerships with Metaco and Paxos respectively. And — just for this column — Bitgo’s Mike Belshe said that he is seeking other custodians to buy even after the failure his deal for Prime Trust.
As always, see the links to your peer’s favorite stories from the past week below.
