Portfolio Pulse from Ivan Crnogatić

Tether's co-founder Brock Pierce sees the approval as a positive step for American businesses and investors, while Grayscale's David LaValle remains bullish on the asset class despite expecting outflows from the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTC:GBTC) following its conversion to an ETF. The panel also discussed BlackRock's pivot to embrace digital assets, the SEC's ongoing adversarial stance on cryptocurrency regulation, and the potential role of Bitcoin alongside the dollar.
