🚀 BlackRock Eyes U.S. ETF Market with New Nasdaq 100 Tracking Fund
#BlackRock #ETF #Nasdaq100 #iShares #Invesco #USMarket #Investment #Finance #SEC #Trading
BlackRock is setting its sights on a segment of the $13.7 trillion U.S. ETF market, traditionally dominated by Invesco, by introducing a fund that tracks the Nasdaq 100 Index. According to BlockBeats, documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Monday reveal that the iShares Nasdaq 100 ETF will track this index under the trading code IQQ. If launched, IQQ will be among the few U.S.-listed ETFs specifically tracking the Nasdaq 100 Index and the first of its kind not managed by Invesco.
Since the Nasdaq Exchange introduced the index in 1985, it has been cautious in licensing its use. While there are ETFs in the U.S. market that overlay Nasdaq 100 components through derivatives, Invesco has nearly monopolized the market for pure Nasdaq 100 Index ETFs.
This collaboration has led to the creation of the $374 billion Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (trading code QQQ), one of the largest ETFs globally, and the $70 billion Invesco Nasdaq 100 ETF.#BlackRock #ETF #Nasdaq100 #iShares #Invesco #USMarket #Investment #Finance #SEC #Trading

🚀 CZ Memoir Details FTX Collapse, $7B Binance Bank Run, and Exchange Signal Group Scrutiny
#FTX #Binance #CZMemoir #SamBankmanFried #Alameda #CarolineEllison #FTT #SignalGroup #DOJ #SEC #Crypto #BankRun #Reserves #TerraLUNA #CryptoExchange #BNB #LUNA
According to CoinDesk, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) writes in his memoir Freedom of Money, released Tuesday, that he never seriously intended to acquire FTX during its November 2022 collapse, describing Sam Bankman-Fried's funding request as made "nonchalantly, as if he were asking for a bologna sandwich," and characterizing the non-binding letter of intent as a formality to assess user protection options. CZ identifies Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison's public offer to buy FTT at $22 as a "fatal mistake" that gave professional traders a floor price to short, sending the token from $22 to $5 and triggering $6 billion in outflows within 72 hours. He also discloses a Signal group called "Exchange Collaboration," set up by FTX's Zane Tackett during the Terra/LUNA collapse, including executives from Binance, Coinbase, Kraken and FTX, which later drew DOJ and SEC scrutiny; CZ denies any collusion. A subsequent bank run on Binance saw $7 billion withdrawn in a single day on Dec. 14, 2022, which CZ says was fully backed by reserves and reversed within a month.#FTX #Binance #CZMemoir #SamBankmanFried #Alameda #CarolineEllison #FTT #SignalGroup #DOJ #SEC #Crypto #BankRun #Reserves #TerraLUNA #CryptoExchange #BNB #LUNA
