    Crypto news to know

    House Democrats to launch meme coin act

    House Democrats are preparing to introduce the Modern Emoluments and Malfeasance Enforcement (MEME) Act, which prohibits public officials from profiting from, endorsing, issuing or promoting any digital assets.

    California Representative Sam Liccardo shared his party’s intent to address concerns surrounding meme coins and potential conflicts of interest with ABC News on Thursday.

    “Let’s make corruption criminal again,” said Liccardo, a former federal and local criminal prosecutor.

    “The Trumps’ issuance of meme coins financially exploits the public for personal gain, and raises the specter of insider trading and foreign influence over the Executive Branch,’ he added.

    The MEME Act seeks to establish clear guidelines for public officials regarding digital assets. In other regulatory developments, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) determined on Thursday that meme coins are not securities. Therefore, traders are not required to register their transactions with the commission.

    However, Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw warned that the commission’s vague definition of meme coins could be exploited to potentially circumvent securities regulations.

    SEC postpones ruling on Ether ETF options

    The SEC has opted to delay its ruling on whether or not to allow Ether exchange-traded fund (ETF) options to be listed on the Cboe. According to a Friday filing, the SEC has extended the deadline to make a final decision until May 2.

    The Cboe is seeking to list options on the Fidelity Ethereum Fund (CBOE:FETH), initially filing its request in August 2024. This is the second time the SEC has delayed its decision, having extended its deadline for the first time in October.

    On February 7, the agency also delayed its decision to allow options tied to BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum ETF (NASDSAQ:ETHA) to be listed on the Nasdaq ISE, giving itself until April 9.

    BlackRock includes iShares Bitcoin Trust in model offerings

    BlackRock, a leading global investment firm, has incorporated its Bitcoin ETF, the iShares Bitcoin Trust (NASDAQ:IBIT), into its model portfolio offerings. “We believe Bitcoin has long-term investment merit and can potentially provide unique and additive sources of diversification to portfolios,” Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager for BlackRock’s Target Allocation ETF model portfolio suite, wrote on Thursday in a note obtained by Bloomberg.

    The decision signals growing acceptance among financial advisors to consider Bitcoin as a component of diversified investment strategies. However, BlackRock will limit Bitcoin’s representation within these portfolios to a range of 1 to 2 percent, perhaps acknowledging Bitcoin’s characteristic price volatility, which was on full display this week.
