Michael Saylor: SEC will designate Ethereum as a security and reject spot ETF applications in the summer

Michael Saylor, the CEO and co-founder of MicroStrategy, believes that Ethereum will be classified as a security by the SEC this summer and that several asset management companies, including BlackRock, will have their related spot ETF applications rejected. Saylor made this prediction in a social media post during his speech at the MicroStrategy World 2024 conference on May 2. He further predicted that other cryptocurrencies "under the stack" will also receive unregistered names, including BNB, SOL, XRP, and ADA. Saylor asserts that only Bitcoin has received full institutional recognition and calls BTC a universal institutional-grade cryptographic asset, stating that there will not be another one.

  • Analysis: MicroStrategy’s BTC purchases offset German government selling pressure

    Some analysts believe that the German government's massive sale of Bitcoin is the reason for the sluggish cryptocurrency market. In addition, traders are concerned that the stock market may have peaked and that the US fiscal situation is weakening. According to previous monitoring by the on-chain crypto analysis company Arkham, a wallet related to the German government transferred 6,500 BTC to exchanges on June 19th, worth $425 million at the time. The wallet holds nearly 50,000 BTC, reportedly seized from the pirated movie website Movie2k that has been operating since 2013. Data shows that these BTC were sent to Kraken, Bitstamp, and Coinbase. However, MicroStrategy disclosed that it has purchased an additional 11,931 BTC for $786 million, which offsets the selling pressure.
