Bitwise registers Solana ETF in US state Delaware
Bitwise would be competing with fellow asset managers VanEck and Canary Capital for an SEC-approved spot Solana ETF.
Digital asset management firm Bitwise has registered a statutory trust for a proposed spot Solana exchange-traded fund (ETF) in Delaware — indicating that it may soon file for an S-1 registration statement with the United States securities regulator.
The Bitwise Solana (SOL) ETF was incorporated on Nov. 20, according to the State of Delaware’s Division of Corporations website. The registered agent was listed as CSC Delaware Trust Company, which is headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware.
Bitwise would still need to submit a 19b-4 filing and S-1 registration statement to the US Securities and Exchange Commission to officially put its name in the race with VanEck and Canary Capital.

Avik Roy, the president of a nonprofit think tank, said Senator Cynthia Lummis’ idea that Bitcoin could eliminate federal debt is an “overselling” of what Bitcoin can do.
United States Senator Cynthia Lummis’ plan to set up a strategic Bitcoin reserve won’t be enough to solve the country’s debt crisis, which has now swelled to $35 trillion, the president of the nonprofit think tank says.
“When Senator Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming talks about how a Bitcoin reserve could help us eliminate the federal debt, that’s an overselling of what Bitcoin could do,” Avik Roy, president of the Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity said on stage at the North American Blockchain Summit 2024 in Dallas, Texas on Nov. 20.
A scenario where the US buys an “enormous” amount of Bitcoin (BTC) that appreciates could help, Roy said, but it won’t catch the $35.46 trillion debt that has been rising nearly exponentially since the 1980s.

Reflexivity squared: How Bitcoin ETF options could lead to explosive price movements.
Opinion by Mehdi Lebbar, co-founder of Exponential.fi.
Bitcoin (BTC) is the world’s most reflexive asset today. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission recently approved options for several Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Once issued, these options lead to gamma squeezes, acting like reflexivity. Together, that’s reflexivity squared, leading to unprecedented price movements.
The launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs was already a landmark event for the financial world. In their first month, BlackRock’s and Fidelity’s Bitcoin ETFs attracted unprecedented inflows, each accumulating $3 billion — setting records for ETF launches.

FTX co-founder Gary Wang sentenced to time served
Wang was the final FTX executive awaiting sentencing over the 2022 exchange collapse and subsequent fraud charges.
FTX co-founder Zixiao “Gary” Wang was sentenced to time served plus forfeiture of assets in a United States district court in New York on Nov. 20, making him the fifth and final executive sentenced over the exchange’s 2022 collapse.
Wang pleaded guilty to fraud charges in December 2022 alongside former Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison. For her part in the scheme, in which she admitted to conspiring with FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried to steal $8 billion, Ellison received a two-year sentence.
Judge Lewis Kaplan oversaw all five cases and issued prison time in Ellison’s case as well as Bankman-Fried’s (25 years) and former FTX Digital Markets co-CEO Ryan Salame (7.5 years).
Coin Center lawyers argue Tornado Cash is not property
The Coin Center lawsuit, first filed in 2022, noted that one plaintiff used Tornado Cash to protect his identity while donating money.
Coin Center is appealing an earlier ruling by the United States district court for Northern Florida, which held that Tornado Cash creates indirect benefits for foreign individuals and entities that can be defined as a financial interest subject to sanctions from the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
Legal counsel for Coin Center Jeffrey S. Hetzel told the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, “The easiest way to resolve this case is to hold that in our plaintiffs’ transactions, there is no foreign property. The district court had to erase the word property from the statute.” Hetzel continued the argument:
Attorneys for the United States government countered Hetzel by maintaining that price appreciation of the Tornado Cash token, TORN, directly benefitted TORN holders and asserted that withdrawal fees were a form of accrued benefits for the protocol’s founders.

Bitcoin continues its march toward $100,000, and several altcoins could be poised to hit new all-time highs.
Bitcoin (BTC) bulls have kept up the pressure, and the price is trying to climb above $95,000. Options contracts on BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT), launched on Nov. 19, were an instant hit.
Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart said in a post on X that IBIT options recorded roughly $1.9 billion in notional exposure, and that could be the reason for Bitcoin’s new all-time high on Nov. 19.
Bitcoin’s price is nearing $100,000, but MicroStrategy, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, is not showing any signs of slowing down its purchases. The business intelligence firm revealed plans to raise $2.6 billion from senior convertible notes to buy more Bitcoin and for general corporate purposes.

Proposed changes include taxing cryptocurrency at a 20% flat rate instead of the current variable ‘miscellaneous income’ rate.
Japan will go ahead with a proposed stimulus package after Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba promised to engage in bipartisan discussions to enact sweeping tax reform.
The economic stimulus package is expected to be approved before the end of 2024.

This represents a shift in the governing party’s policy, which had previously called for higher taxes.
