June 2022 - Stocks, Crypto & Interest Rates

CNBC: ProShares is launching a short bitcoin ETF this week.

Looks like this ETF shorts via the CME futures.

The futures usually trade at a reasonable premium to the spot so for income hungry investors, holding this short ETF against a long spot position probably yields a decent income from the futures rolling down.

Funny how these ETFs always come *after* the peak.

Another one bites the dust.. May be...

Clearly I am missing something here... I totally admit that I do not follow crypto avidly. I thought that one of the main selling points behind a cryptocurrency was that it was totally independent of government control.

What would make an SG backed and operated cryptocurrency appealing, moreso than owning a bunch of SGD?

Singapore will be “brutal and unrelentingly hard”

Some people pay good money for that.

Well the obvious benefit to Singapore was the tide of tax paying crypto companies rocking up at their door

For example Three Arrows Capital who they licensed to manage 200 million sing dollars and no more, although apparently they didn't bother to keep track...

Well they got their wish eventually. Great job monetary authority of Singapore!

That's kind of the opposite of what I was asking.
