Schiff wrote in an Aug. 29 tweet, “GBTC becoming a spot ETF is actually bearish for Bitcoin.” He explained that traders can buy GBTC now and sell or short BTC. He added that once GBTC becomes an ETF, the discount to net asset value goes away.

The comment follows Grayscale Investments LLC securing judicial backing for initiating a Bitcoin spot ETF in the United States. Three federal judges annulled the SEC’s decision to prevent GBTC’s conversion to a spot Bitcoin ETF, allowing it to move forward instead.

Defunct crypto lending firm BlockFi has applied to a court to request the transfer of “trade-only” assets from its users’ accounts into stablecoins so the individuals could withdraw them. The request marks another step toward the return of users’ funds, a process that the company began in August.

The Terra Luna Classic is presently voting on multiple proposals, with concerns raised about an uptick in "spam" proposals following a decline in LUNA prices. A new proposal seeks to raise the minimum deposit requirement from 1 million LUNA to 5 million LUNA, with expectations of a potential price increase ahead of the upgrade.

The proposal 11780, titled "Initiative to Address Spam Proposals by Raising Minimum Deposit to 5M LUNC," is under consideration.
