@TylerDurden Hi @TylerDurden your tweet was the meme of the day in the Unchained Daily newsletter 😂

Grayscale Solana ETF Application Lands in SEC’s In-Tray The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday acknowledged a 19b-4 application by Grayscale for a Solana exchange-traded fund, bringing the prospect of ETFs based on the fifth-biggest cryptocurrency by market cap closer to reality. “This is actually newsworthy because the SEC had refused to do this in recent filing attempts for SOL,” Bloomberg ETF analyst @JSeyff said on X. He said the development was positive for crypto exchanges facing lawsuits in which the commission had alleged that SOL was a security. The SEC also recognized several other crypto ETF-related applications on Thursday, including Grayscale's filing for a Litecoin ETF and BlackRock's proposal for in-kind creations and redemptions on its iShares Bitcoin ETF.

Trump’s Media Firm Seeks Trademarks for Bitcoin Products U.S. President Donald Trump’s media company, Trump Media & Technology Group, on Thursday filed trademark applications for several investment products, including a "Bitcoin Plus ETF.” The move is part of the firm’s expansion into financial services under the brand, and it has plans to launch several customized exchange-traded funds and separately managed accounts this year. Trump Media has partnered with investment giant Charles Schwab to develop the products. The Wall Street firm is expected to custody funds invested in them to the tune of as much as $250 million. Trump Media Chairman and CEO Devin Nunes said the funds would be aimed at giving investors a competitive alternative to the “woke funds” and debanking issues they encounter in the market.

Gemini Considers IPO This Year Crypto exchange and custodian @Gemini, founded in 2014 by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, is considering an initial public offering in the U.S. this year, according to a report by Bloomberg. Unnamed sources said the firm was in talks with potential advisers on a proposed listing, although no final decisions had yet been made. As of November 2021, Gemini was valued at $7.1 billion following a $400 million series-D funding round. Earlier this month, Gemini COO Marshall Beard told The Street that the exchange had $9 billion in assets under management.

Tornado Cash Co-Founder Set for Release @alex_pertsev, a co-founder of crypto mixing service Tornado Cash, is set to be released from pretrial detention on Friday following a decision by a court in the Netherlands, and will now work on his appeal under electronic monitoring. Tornado Cash’s native token, $TORN, rallied after Pertsev posted news of his release on X, climbing more than 40% to an intraday high of $15.09. “Dear Friends, on Friday 7 February at 10 am I will be free! It is not real freedom, but it is better than prison … Thank you to everyone who supported me and who made this possible,” Pertsev wrote in the post. Pertsev was arrested in August 2022 on charges of money laundering shortly after the U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned Tornado Cash, alleging that the platform was a key tool used by North Korean hacking group Lazarus. Earlier this month, a U.S. federal appeals court overturned sanctions imposed on Tornado Cash by the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control.
