The Securities and Exchange Commission announced the temporary suspension of trading in the securities Bitcoin Tracker One (“CXBTF”) and Ether Tracker One

SEC

The regulator pointed to “a lack of current, consistent and accurate information” in the two crypto investment vehicles issued by Swedish firm XBT Provider AB following their entry into the US market last month.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Sunday issued an order to halt the trading in Bitcoin Tracker One (CXBTF) and Ether Tracker One (CETHF), two investment products that track cryptocurrencies. The two exchange-traded notes (ETNs) are issued by Swedish company XBT Provider AB, a subsidiary of U.K.-based Coinshares Holdings.
The two products have been listed on the Nasdaq Stockholm exchange since 2015 and entered the U.S. market last month under the ticker CXBTF, enabling domestic investors to access and invest in the crypto ETNs in an over-the-counter (OTC) market with their U.S. dollars.

“The broker-dealer application materials submitted to enable the offer and sale of these financial products in the United States, as well as certain trading websites, characterize them as ‘Exchange Traded Funds’,” the SEC elaborated, explaining its decision in its official order. “Other public sources characterize the instruments as ‘Exchange Traded Notes.’ By contrast, the issuer characterizes them in its offering materials as “non-equity linked certificates.’”
The regulator said:
“The Commission is of the opinion that the public interest and protection of investors require a suspension of trading in the securities of the above-quoted company.”
The SEC claimed the ETNs’ presence in the U.S. market resulted in “confusion amongst market participants”, resulting in the temporary halt. The suspension commenced at 1730 EDT on Sunday, September 9 and will last until 11:59 EDT on September 20.
A representative for CoinsShares wasn’t immediately available for comment at press time.

Blow To Bitcoin As Coinbase CEO Makes Stark Warning

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong sits for a portrait in their San Francisco headquarters on May 4, 2018. (Photo by Christie Hemm Klok for The Washington Post via Getty Images) Bitcoin and cryptocurrency adoption rates around the world are growing, but not quickly enough to prevent  the bitcoin price from falling  — and now the chief executive of San Francisco-based Coinbase, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, has warned that widespread, mass bitcoin adoption for payments is going to be a long time coming. The bitcoin price is currently just over $6,000 after falling below the psychological barrier yesterday for the second time this year. The bitcoin price is down some 70% from its highs at the end of last year and many of newer cryptocurrencies that have been created in the last few years have been all but wiped out. The bitcoin price has fallen far from its 2017 highs in recent months. COINDESK “I think it will be quite some time before you cross t

90% of Cryptocurrency Market Facing ‘Extinction-Level Event’: Xapo President

A reckoning coming to the cryptocurrency markets, an “extinction-level event” that’s poised to wipe out 90 percent of the more than 1,800 coins and tokens that aren’t named bitcoin. That’s the prognostication of  Xapo  President Ted Rogers, anyway, who said that the impending altcoin bloodbath will provide discerning investors with an incredible opportunity to load up on  bitcoin  at a discount. “We could be in the midst of the extinction-level event for “cryptoassets” that many maximalists have predicted. 90%+ of @CoinMarketCap list will disappear eventually – might as well happen now,” Rogers wrote on Twitter. “Meantime, lower BTC price means incredible opportunity to buy more #bitcoin.” Ted Rogers @tedmrogers We could be in the midst of the extinction-level event for “cryptoassets” that many maximalists have predicted. 90%+ of @ CoinMarketCap list will disappear eventually - might as well happen now.

There Is No ‘Bitcoin’: What the SEC Doesn’t Get About Cryptocurrency

Edan Yago is the founder of  CementDAO , an effort to bring together stablecoins into a unified ecosystem.  He previously was the CEO and co-founder of software firm Epiphyte and helped set up the industry associations DATA and the Stablecoin Foundation.  The views expressed here are his own. —————————- The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been gone to significant lengths in an attempt to understand the crypto asset space. This effort is to be applauded. However, the SEC has failed to come to terms with one fundamental aspect of crypto assets and systems. Namely, properly constructed crypto systems do not involve “persons” or “entities” and do not represent a form of property. For this reason, they do not have any analogue in the traditional financial world, nor can they fall under financial regulation. In the traditional financial world, assets are a claim on a specific property. For example, a commodity, shares in a company or a debt owed. Crypto asset
