BlackRock Spot Bitcoin ETF Listing That Fired Crypto Prices Higher On Tuesday Was Added In August As ”Standard Practice”

Stories yesterday that said BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF (exchange-traded fund) was added to a Nasdaq clearing site prompted a Bitcoin price spike as investors bet it indicated the imminent approval of such investment vehicles, but it turns out that it’s been listed there since August.

Blackrock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF was added to the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) in August as “standard practice…in preparation for the launch of a new ETF,” a spokesman for DTCC told Reuters. “Appearing on the list is not indicative of an outcome for any outstanding regulatory or other approval processes.”

Speculation that BlackRock and a queue of other pending spot Bitcoin ETF applicants would be quickly approved sent the crypto market on its biggest two-day rally in more than seven months.

Crypto market capitalization rose more than $200 billion to $1.26 trillion, close to this year’s peak, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Traders had noticed the Blackrock Bitcoin ETF on a list on the DTCC website.

DTCC Site Crashes As Investors Rush To Confirm Bitcoin ETF Listing

Not along after the listing was spotted, it disappeared from the DTCC site, causing confusion among crypto investors. 

The DTCC website also went down in what some attributed to increased traffic as investors tried to confirm developments for themselves.

According to Senior Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, the DTCC doesn’t typically get this level of attention, which “speaks to the uniqueness and intensity of this entire saga.”

In an interesting twist, however, the product then reappeared on the site. 

No explanation was provided as to why it disappeared and then reappeared.

Bitcoin slicing through this resistance could send it over $47k

Image
Although the majority of assets in the cryptocurrency sector got off to a slow start this week, Bitcoin (BTC) could be looking at a massive advance toward and beyond the threshold of $47,000 soon, provided it manages to break the key resistance that currently stands in its way. As it happens, Bitcoin’s realized price distribution (URPD) or unspent transactions output (UTXO), or the amount remaining after every transaction, suggests that the maiden cryptocurrency is facing “stiff resistance at $38,500,” as noted by crypto market analyst Ali Martinez in an X post on November 26. Having said that, the crypto trading expert also observed that the flagship decentralized finance (DeFi) asset “slicing through this barrier could help BTC advance toward $47,360,” which is the next significant point in the chart Analysis that Martinez shared.

Binance faces calls for ban by Nigerian Bureau De Change association

Gwadabe reportedly emphasized that Binance trading has increasingly established itself as a central point for both the Investor and Exporters window as well as the parallel market. Binance continues to experience an increase in regulatory heat as the Federal Government of Nigeria is being urged by the Association of Bureau De Change Operators of Nigeria (ABCON) to prohibit the activities of Binance within the nation.

This action comes in response to the association reportedly recognizing Binance as a significant contributor to the pressure on the naira. As reported by Nairametrics, a local news agency, Alhaji Aminu Gwadabe, president of ABCON, provided this counsel in an interview held on Aug. 8 in Lagos. Gwadabe reportedly emphasized that Binance trading has increasingly established itself as a central point for both the Investor and Exporters window as well as the parallel mar...
