Crypto Biz: ARK drops bid for spot Ether ETF, miners adapt after halving, and more

This week’s Crypto Biz explores ARK Invest’s partnership with 21Shares, Galaxy Digital’s tokenized loan for Animoca Brands, Avail’s fundraising, the Toposware acquisition, and Bitcoin miners’ first reports since the halving.
