North Carolina Speaker of the House Destin Hall and Representatives Stephen Ross, Mark Brody, and Mike Schietzelt introduced House Bill 92, the “NC Digital Assets Investments Act,” on Feb. 12. The bill, which was filed on Feb. 10, passed its first reading on Feb. 12 and was referred to the Committee on Commerce and Economic Development. If deemed favorable, it will advance to the Rules, Calendar, and Operations of the House. The legislation proposes allowing the State Treasurer to invest in qualifying investments, a move that could integrate cryptocurrency, stablecoins, and other blockchain-based assets into North Carolina’s investment strategy. The bill outlines: The State Treasurer may invest the cash of the funds … in digital assets that satisfy both of the following requirements. “(1) The digital assets are an exchange-traded product. (2) The average market capitalization of the digital assets over the preceding 12 months is at least seven hundred fifty billion dollars ($750,000,000,000), as determined by the State Treasurer using a commercially reasonable method,” the bill describes. Additionally, the bill details: An investment in digital assets from any of these funds shall not exceed, in the aggregate, ten percent (10%) of the balance of the fund at the time of the investment. To safeguard these investments, the bill mandates the use of a secure custody solution, requiring that “If the State Treasurer chooses to internally manage any digital assets, the State Treasurer shall use a secure custody solution.” Covered funds include the General Fund, Highway Trust Fund, Teachers’ and State Employees’ Retirement System, and other pension and insurance funds held by the State Treasurer. If enacted, the State Treasurer will have the option to manage digital asset investments internally or through third-party investment managers with at least $100 million in assets under management. Investment companies must provide annual audited financial statements, unless waived based on a cost-benefit analysis. The bill also allows the Treasurer to enter indemnification agreements, limiting the state’s liability to the amount of investment. Supporters argue the measure modernizes North Carolina’s investment portfolio, while critics may raise concerns over volatility and regulatory uncertainty in the digital asset space. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

Brian Quintenz announced on social media platform X on Feb. 12 that he has been nominated by President Donald Trump to serve as the next chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Expressing his enthusiasm for the opportunity, Quintenz wrote: “It is my great honor to be nominated by President Donald Trump as the next Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, where I had served as a Commissioner in his last administration. The CFTC plays a critical role in maintaining robust hedging and price discovery markets that are the envy of the globe.” He added: The agency is also well poised to ensure the USA leads the world in blockchain technology and innovation. I look forward to working with President Trump’s incredible financial regulatory team. Quintenz has been a prominent advocate for cryptocurrency regulation, leveraging his experience as a former Commissioner of the CFTC and his role as Head of Policy at Andreessen Horowitz’s (a16z) crypto division. During his tenure at the CFTC from 2017 to 2021, Quintenz oversaw the introduction of regulated bitcoin and ether futures contracts and chaired the Technology Advisory Committee, facilitating comprehensive discussions on crypto-related policies. The nomination has received praise from figures in the financial and cryptocurrency industries. Attorney Jeremy Hogan underscored the significance of the CFTC’s leadership in shaping the future of crypto regulation, stating: “The head of the CFTC will, eventually, likely be more important to the crypto space than the head of the SEC. And Brian Quintenz is a solid ‘A!’ Maybe an A+, but I never gave A+s when I was teaching, either.” Former CFTC Chairman Chris Giancarlo congratulated Quintenz on his selection, saying he will “serve as captain and lead pilot CFTC making America’s flight path for economic risk transfer both safer, broader and more innovative and dynamic.” Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse also weighed in, recognizing the importance of the CFTC in strengthening U.S. capital markets and endorsing Quintenz’s appointment. The Ripple executive wrote on X: The CFTC plays a vital role in making sure the U.S. has the most robust capital markets in the world. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

informative post that introduces $AMLOG, explaining its purpose, unique features, and the problems it aims to solve in the crypto space.

Arkham Intelligence reported on X that while major financial institutions like Fidelity, Grayscale, and Invesco are reducing their Bitcoin holdings, BlackRock has made a pretty substantial acquisition of $50 million worth of Bitcoin. The contrasting actions of these institutions could point to differing perspectives on Bitcoin’s future. Or, it could just mean that Fidelity, Grayscale, and Invesco are simply reallocating assets, securing profits, or adjusting their exposure to Bitcoin due to market volatility or internal strategies. BlackRock’s purchase, however, indicates a bullish outlook on Bitcoin, suggesting confidence in its long-term value. This acquisition aligns with previous reports of BlackRock increasing its Bitcoin assets. Notably, Arkham recently reported that BlackRock bought $1 billion worth of Bitcoin in a single week, bringing their holdings to 2.7% of the total Bitcoin supply. This could have serious market implications as BlackRock’s continued investment could signal to the market a strong institutional endorsement of Bitcoin, potentially influencing other investors and impacting Bitcoin’s price dynamics. In recent times, the world’s largest asset manager has considerably expanded its involvement in the cryptocurrency space, particularly with Bitcoin. In January 2024, BlackRock introduced the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). Within 11 months, IBIT amassed over $50 billion in assets, marking one of the most successful ETF launches ever. The ETF’s rapid growth reflects strong institutional and retail investor demand for regulated Bitcoin exposure. Case in point, Goldman Sachs significantly increased its holdings in IBIT, reaching $1.27 billion by the end of 2024. Building on its US success, it was also reported earlier this month that BlackRock is preparing to launch a Bitcoin exchange-traded product (ETP) in Europe, likely domiciled in Switzerland. This move aims to cater to the growing demand for cryptocurrency investments among European investors. There’s no denying that BlackRock’s active participation and endorsement have played a key part in legitimizing Bitcoin within traditional finance. The success of IBIT and the firm’s strategic insights have contributed to increased mainstream acceptance and investment in Bitcoin. As such, while other major financial establishments are divesting from Bitcoin, BlackRock’s substantial and ongoing investments underscore its confidence in the cryptocurrency’s future prospects.
