Business Block: Blockchain ETF Investments

 


Crypto ETF's allow you to indirectly invest in the upside without the technical activities involved with owning a digital wallet or managing digital keys. ETF's or Exchange traded funds have gained popularity in the millennial or Gen Z lifetime. The first ETF being S&P 500 - SPY ETF, filed by State Street Global Advisors in 1993. In 2025, ETF assets under management has reached 15 trillion dollars. As ETF's have been on the uptrend in 20 years, we have seen mutual funds and financial advisor managed funds lose popularity. Investment information has become more readily available with the growth of the internet, so investors can manage their money with less expensive fees from advisors. 

  • XRP Ripple ETF - Filed with SEC for approval on February 19th, 2025 - Grayscale, Bitwise, Franklin Templeton, Pro shares. Estimated approval by Q2 2025.
  • BITI ETF - Inverse leveraged ETF tracking the decrease in price of bitcoin futures contracts. Therefore, you can invest in the bearish activities of bitcoin.
  • CONL ETF - Leveraged ETF tracking Coinbase Stock at 200% of the daily percentage change. 
  • BEGS ETF - Leveraged ETF tracking Bitcoin combined with Precious Metals.
Digital Assets are gaining credibility as regulation and alignment with SEC evolves. A bitcoin/crypto reserve was announced for the U.S., and it has major institutions attention to add Bitcoin and similar assets to the portfolio as a bullish long-term strategy. This is not investment advice (DYOR).

  Papakanafa is a unique and delicious spot to satisfy that sweet tooth! This gem is tucked away in the suburban outskirts of San Diego. The shopping mall has many delicious Middle eastern businesses as the area is home to many Middle eastern California natives and immigrants. They serve Middle Eastern deserts and juices.

Papa Kanafa represents the crucial belief that dreams can always manifest into realities no matter what obstacles stand in their way. This place is a must try!

Business Block: Crypto Reserve, ISO 20022

  A Federal Crypto reserve is in development within US. As we see the digital infrastructure develop and mature the Federal government finds it a bullish strategy in its portfolio. Questions are surfacing as if some of these digital currency projects are in the best interest of Americans Tax dollars. Decentralized and Centralized projects are key differentiators within the portfolio. We have seen Bitcoin increase by 58.7% from 52k to 109k as a decentralized digital asset. Other projects such as XRP, Ethereum, Solana, Cardano digital instruments may or may not have decentralized characteristics but will be pinned to the decentralized flows of bitcoin.  As we see industries such as AI, Real estate, Insurance, Supply chain, CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) evolve into the digital business infrastructure many of these smart contract instruments and tools will be utilized.
