Peter Schiff’s Centralized Ponzi Argument The crux of Schiff’s position is that STRC has no organic earnings stream backing its yield.

The post Michael Saylor defends Strategy’s Bitcoin sales plan amid dividend concerns appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Michael Saylor has defended Strategy’s ability to sell limited amounts of Bitcoin while continuing to expand its BTC treasury, arguing the company should avoid becoming a net seller rather than follow an absolute “never sell” stance.

The post Grayscale Zcash spot ETF filing tests SEC privacy coin policy appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Grayscale is pushing the Grayscale Zcash spot ETF into the U.S. regulatory pipeline, a move that could test whether privacy-focused crypto assets are finally getting a path into mainstream finance. The asset manager filed a Form S-3 with the SEC to convert its existing Zcash Trust into a spot exchange-traded fund, with plans for it to trade on NYSE Arca under the ticker ZCSH. That headline lands with extra force because the proposed fund would hold actual ZEC, not futures or indirect exposure. It would track the CoinDesk Zcash Price Index minus fees, giving investors a structure that looks much closer to the spot crypto ETFs that have drawn broad attention across the market.
