The TCB Weekly News Roundup – Signals from 10,000 feet. May 26, 2024

It’s looking like an ethereum ETF will be forthcoming. Things could get interesting on the investment derivative front and the USA legal front with actions against parties on the basis of “offering unregistered securities.” Give it a few months to pan out.

Enjoy and be well, Everyone.
