🤔 An anonymous source interviewed by Bloomberg has fuelled rumours that the Biden administration is currently mulling an executive order on cryptocurrencies, aimed at ordering agencies to study and make recommendations on the crypto market regarding topics of national security, financial regulation, and economic innovation.

🤝 The number of cryptocurrency company M&As for 2021 (126) is now double that of 2020 – with the remainder of Q4 still to go. With an average deal size estimated to be around $629 million, many see this as a sign of a maturing industry.

🚨 The street is expecting the SEC to approve, reject, or delay as many as four Bitcoin ETFs this month, meaning that the market could technically get all 4 Bitcoin ETFs all at once – after years of delays. However, with crypto regulation still an uncertainty, realistic odds for an approval may be tilted towards regulators again choosing to delay their decision.

  • Smaller barrier to entry
    CFDs typically have flexible and smaller contract sizes. This means that traders will be able to enter into a CFD contract with a modest amount of capital.
  • No expiration date or risk of delivery
