Public keys provide a weekly summary of major publicly traded cryptocurrency companies.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission has made a press release regarding crypto ETFs. Although they haven’t directly mentioned altcoins, it seems that those interested in crypto ETFs are keen to move forward quickly with their investments.
The regulators are simplifying the listing standards for reliable product-based stocks. This essentially means that if an applicant meets the requirements set by exchanges like NASDAQ, CBOE BZX, and NYSE ARCA, they can bypass certain individual fund rule changes, just like other crypto ETF issuers.

However, not everyone is on board with the rule changes. Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw expressed concerns, stating that the new regulations would merely facilitate the entry of untested products into the market, potentially compromising investor protection.
The Rex-Osprey XRP ETF has kicked things off, and there’s significant interest in both the Rex-Osprey XRP and Doge ETFs. The company aims to introduce leveraged options, such as the Rex-Osprey Doge Growth & Income ETF, catering to traders who thrive on higher risks for potentially higher rewards.
Details about fees haven’t been revealed yet, so it’s still early days. The intention appears to be making weekly distributions by executing call options, aiming for returns of 1.05 to 1.5 times the daily fluctuations of the newly traded Doge ETF. This offering is definitely targeting short-term traders, rather than buy-and-hold investors.
Earlier this week, Dogecoin spiked to $0.28 due to positive news, but those profits didn’t stick. As of now, Doge has slipped back to around $0.26, which is down more than 5%.
David Bailey, CEO of KindlyMD, conducted a pre-flight check recently to advise investors who may be restless about volatility. The company’s stock price dropped a staggering 54% to $1.26, and prices have shown little recovery since the end of Friday’s trading.
The company’s stock, traded under the Nasdaq GM ticker Naka, suffered a 6% loss yesterday and is down 87% from last month, currently trading at $1.40.
After merging with Nakamoto Holdings earlier this year, which turned it into a Bitcoin financing firm, the newly formed company aimed to realize a vision for a Bitcoin Ministry of Finance, which was fueled by a $200 million PIPE deal. Yet, shares sold during that round are essentially locked until an S-3 registration is approved by the SEC.
Once that registration is validated, the $200 million worth of discounted shares could create selling pressure on the market.
Bailey remains optimistic, pointing out that although the stock’s downturn is disappointing, it could allow more people to buy in at lower prices.
Grayscale has also put forward various digital large-cap funds, actively seeking collaboration with the SEC. Their GDLC fund, for instance, is designed to track a mix of popular assets like XRP, Solana, Cardano, Bitcoin, and Ethereum.
In other news, Solana recently reached a milestone by launching its first billion-dollar treasury company. Following this, Forward Industries announced plans to raise $500 million to establish their own Solana Treasury.
Just two days later, Forward Industries announced that they were aiming to raise another $4 billion for the purpose of acquiring more Solana tokens. Spending a significant portion on Solana Tokens means they’ve managed to develop a solid financial base in the market.
On Thursday, Marco Santori, formerly with Kraken, was appointed as the new CEO for the Solana Treasury, recently rebranded as Solmate. They reportedly announced a salary increase that led to stock prices surging by 500%.
While this news was generally positive for Solana, it still struggled against a broader crypto market downturn, falling around 4% from Thursday’s prices, trading at approximately $238.
Bitlicense boost: IPO optimism was evident as shares surged following the grant of a Bitlicense by the New York State Department of Financial Services. This approval will allow Bit Resense to operate legally within the state as a digital asset transaction and custody business, thus promoting its expansion.
itty, bitty buy: The company revealed a strategy to invest $60 million in Bitcoin. So far, they have managed to gather around $68.2 million via preferred stock offers, but only spent about $60.2 million on Bitcoin, leaving a small reserve of $8 million.
