According to PANews, Bitwise has updated its application for a spot Avalanche ETF with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The revised application changes the ETF's ticker to BAVA and sets the sponsorship fee rate at 0.34%, the lowest among similar products. In comparison, VanEck's Avalanche ETF charges a fee of 0.40%, while Grayscale's is 0.50%.
The updated S-1 filing also indicates that the trust will be allowed to stake up to 70% of its AVAX holdings on Avalanche's proof-of-stake network to earn additional tokens. However, the issuer plans to deduct 12% of the staking rewards as fees, with the remainder distributed to shareholders. Currently, competitors have not engaged in staking activities, limiting their fees to sponsorship charges.
Bitwise is also offering a full fee waiver for the first $500 million in assets during the initial month, aiming to position BAVA as the most cost-effective option for traditional investors seeking exposure to Avalanche and staking income.#Bitwise #Avalanche #ETF #BAVA #SEC #sponsorshipfee #AVAX #staking #proof-of-stake #Grayscale #VanEck #crypto #investing #fees
🚀 Stablecoins Unlikely to Replace Traditional Card Networks, Says AllianceDAO Co-Founder
#stablecoins #traditionalpayments #Visa #Mastercard #cardnetworks #paymentstructure #consumerincentives #merchants #AllianceDAO #QwQiao #fees
According to Odaily, AllianceDAO co-founder QwQiao expressed on the X platform that the belief that stablecoins and new payment systems could replace traditional card networks like Visa and Mastercard overlooks the fee distribution structure. In a $100 transaction with a $3 fee, approximately $1.8 is returned to consumers as cashback or points, $0.45 goes to the issuing bank, $0.6 to the acquiring bank, and only about $0.15 is retained by the card network. QwQiao highlighted that this structure creates a stable incentive relationship among consumers, banks, and card organizations within the same network. The costs are primarily borne by merchants, who have relatively weaker bargaining power, which is a key reason for the sustained scale effect of traditional card payment networks.#stablecoins #traditionalpayments #Visa #Mastercard #cardnetworks #paymentstructure #consumerincentives #merchants #AllianceDAO #QwQiao #fees
🚀 SWIFT to Introduce Global Payments Scheme by 2026
#SWIFT #globalpayments #blockchain #crossbordertransactions #SMEs #transparency #fees #paymentscheme #Ripple #XRP #correspondentbanking #liquiditysolutions #paymenttracking
SWIFT has announced plans to implement a new global payments scheme by 2026, designed to enhance the speed and predictability of cross-border transactions for consumers and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). According to NS3.AI, the initiative will focus on improving transparency and fee disclosure, aiming to make international payments as seamless as domestic transfers.
The organization is integrating a blockchain-based ledger to enhance payment tracking capabilities. However, SWIFT will maintain its existing correspondent banking settlement system and will not be adopting cryptocurrencies such as XRP. Ripple's blockchain-powered liquidity-saving solutions continue to be relevant in certain areas where SWIFT's model does not address pre-funding capital inefficiencies.#SWIFT #globalpayments #blockchain #crossbordertransactions #SMEs #transparency #fees #paymentscheme #Ripple #XRP #correspondentbanking #liquiditysolutions #paymenttracking

According to NS3.AI, this development facilitates secure conditional settlements beyond XRP itself, enhancing the utility of the XRPL for institutional use cases and tokenized finance. The upgrade is expected to potentially increase demand for XRP through higher network activity and fees.
