News Fix: More Access to Private Markets on the Way
Things are looking up for our members. The Securities and Exchange Commission wants to make it easier for retail investors to access the private markets.

Portfolio and Crypto Market Update
You’ve probably all seen the news that the SEC denied nine crypto ETF proposals on Wednesday. This was no surprise (though the SEC issuing a temporary stay on the denial the next day was). Fortunately, the market reacted appropriately and shrugged off the news. It’s important to note that the ETFs denied this week were futures-based products. These ETFs wouldn’t…

Some of Bitcoin’s Biggest Trades Happen Out of Sight
More than $1 billion worth of bitcoin changes hands every day on the major cryptocurrency exchanges, according to VanEck’s ETF (exchange-traded fund) proposal to the SEC. But that figure vastly understates bitcoin’s trading volume. It’s actually much, much higher. VanEck’s estimate is based on exchanges that follow anti-money-laundering (AML) and know-your-customer rules. Dozens of exchanges – some of them very…

Understanding Crypto Market Psychology and Buying Low
Long-term readers know I’m cautious about calling a crypto market bottom. The market is still up big from one year ago, and these things tend to overshoot up and down. But… I’m starting to see signs of “capitulation.” Capitulation occurs when the last big batch of “fence sitters” finally surrender and sell. Markets are ultimately about psychology. In crypto, there…

And then he started ConsenSys, which helps startups build on top of the ethereum network. It’s one of the larger crypto firms, with 1,100 employees. When Joe speaks, you should listen.

For all of crypto’s nine-year history, the market has been dominated by retail investors – people like you and me. Professional (institutional) investors have stayed on the sidelines.

Bitcoin, Musk making news
In theory, summer is considered a “slow” news period. That’s especially true in August – when escaping the heat and enjoying the last days of summer are the top priorities. Fortunately for the News Fix – and you, our loyal readers – bitcoin and Elon Musk don’t care about “slow news days.” In fact, they’ve been generating so much news,…
