NEED TO KNOW
SEC's ETF Fake Out
  1. 🙄 SEC posts fake ETF approval. The SEC's Twitter account announced the approval of the BTC ETF, and minutes later, Gary Gensler claimed the account was compromised and the announcement was fake! What's happening?
  2. 📆 Tomorrow? Before the fake news crisis, fund managers and analysts were feeling confident in the approval announcement going live Wednesday. Will today's actions shift that timeline?
  3. 💦 Lido surges. The liquid staking platform's token LDO is up 16% today, reaching highs not seen since Terra's collapse in 2022.

In our latest Bankless Guide, we tackle Ordinals, highlighting the various flavors of Bitcoin NFTs and what other experiments are cooking up right now.
