▌TD Cowen: US cryptocurrency legislation is unlikely to pass before the end of the year
Jaret Seiberg of TD Cowen's Washington research group said in a report on Monday that there is little chance of progress in cryptocurrency legislation before 2024. U.S. Congress members are currently in recess and will not reconvene until after the election, leaving only the transition period after the election to pass the bill.
Although the possibility of passing the stablecoin bill is high, Congress still needs to prioritize the government funding bill and the National Defense Authorization Act. In addition, the election of Sherrod Brown, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, has also added uncertainty to crypto legislation.
▌FTX releases the latest progress of the proposed settlement plan for preferred shareholders
FTX Official disclosed on the X platform that FTX creditors are providing the latest progress of the proposed settlement with preferred shareholders. FTX will return 100% of the assets under its control to creditors under the Chapter 11 plan. The Department of Justice is responsible for controlling the distribution of assets seized through criminal cases and has made it clear that preferred shareholders are victims just like creditors under criminal law.
FTX and preferred shareholders have competing claims for the proceeds of confiscation. Although the Department of Justice will decide how to reconcile these competing claims, if the Department of Justice accepts the settlement, FTX believes that the plan is fair to both parties and avoids a protracted dispute. In this settlement, FTX requires the Department of Justice to agree to a centralized distribution process through the FTX Ch. 11 plan to speed up distribution to creditors and avoid a lot of redundant expenses.

▌BlackRock executives: Ethereum ETF's performance so far is "disappointing" compared with Bitcoin ETF
According to Fortune, BlackRock's recently launched Ethereum ETF has much lower trading volume and capital inflows than Bitcoin ETF, and the company's digital asset director Robert Mitchnick does not expect this situation to change soon. At the Messari Mainnet Conference in New York, Mitchnick admitted that BlackRock's Ethereum exchange-traded fund (ETHA) has performed "disappointing" so far compared with its Bitcoin ETF.
But he urged the audience to compare ETHA to an ETF: "It's very rare for an ETF to reach $1 billion in AUM in seven weeks, as ETHA has. In most cases, it takes years for a new ETF to reach $1 billion."

Last night's market correction may have stemmed from weak Chinese economic data, which indicated the need for additional stimulus measures. Therefore, speculative traders may have turned from Bitcoin to Chinese stocks for higher beta exposure. There are also concerns about weakness at the beginning of the month.
