Bitcoin is going to the moon after the launch of ETF

The US SEC continues public discussion of the creation of bitcoin-ETF. Judging by the regulator's releases, about 30 petitions from accredited and private investors, as well as professional financiers, are received daily to support the creation of over-the-counter investment bitcoin-funds.

Individuals use emotional arguments: "The US is a stronghold of free enterprise and a model for other states." Professional financiers point to the practical side of the question: "We have to use unreliable crypto-exchangers for investment in cryptocurrencies with low supervisory load. Give us access to classical investment tools for working with cryptocurrencies! "

The application for the creation of bitcoin-ETF was filed by the world's largest Chicago Stock Exchange (Cboe). This is the 5th for the last six months, the application for ETF and the second - from Cboe. Previously, the SEC rejected all applications because of the loose status of cryptocurrencies. However, at the end of June, the head of the SEC, Jay Clayton, actually consolidated the status of Bitcoin. Experts believe that after the creation of the first bitcoin-ETF, the rate of the cryptocurrencies will grow and can reach $ 60 thousand in the short term, as it happened in 2003 with the gold rate after the launch of the ETF.

Opera is switching into a crypto-friendly browser

Today, Opera browser for Android has launched closed beta testing of the built-in cryptocurrency wallet. According to the director of the direction of Opera Crypto, Charles Hamel, the wallet is integrated with Android security systems and does not require additional PIN-codes and passwords for transactions. This makes crypto payment simple, like sending electronic payments through a smartphone. While the wallet supports only Ethereum, ERC20-tokens and collectible items in ERC271 format, over time the list of cryptocurrency will be expanded.

This is the third major innovation of Opera in support of cryptocurrency industry. Earlier the company added large cryptocurrencies to the converter and installed advanced protection from hidden mining in the desktop version of the browser. After this initiative, the Chinese mining giant Bitmain invested $ 50 million in Opera shares. Since 2016, Opera belongs to the Chinese investment fund Golden Brick Capital Private Equity Fund.
