By 2026, the market has seen a massive shift toward institutional-grade futures platforms with enhanced regulatory compliance. This tag covers the mechanics of delivery dates, margin requirements, and how professional traders use futures to navigate crypto volatility and secure long-term portfolio stability.

Hong Kong Company’s Stock Jumps On $483M Bitcoin Acquisition Plan

Hong Kong Company’s Stock Jumps On $483M Bitcoin Acquisition Plan

The post Hong Kong Company’s Stock Jumps On $483M Bitcoin Acquisition Plan appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Nasdaq-listed Hong Kong construction company Ming Shing Group Holdings said on Wednesday it has agreed to acquire 4,250 Bitcoin for almost $483 million, joining the wave of companies adding cryptocurrency to their treasuries. The deal, if completed, would make Ming Shing Hong Kong’s top Bitcoin (BTC) treasury according to BitcoinTreasuries.NET data, surpassing Buyaa Ineractive International with its 3,350 BTC. “We believe the Bitcoin market is highly liquid and the investment can capture the potential appreciation of Bitcoin and increase the Company’s assets,” said Wenjin Li, CEO of Ming Shing. Ming Shing’s financials show it has been under pressure, with a negative profit margin of 3.9% in 2025 and a $5.35 million loss before interest and taxes, according to Stock Analysis data. Related: The Bitcoin treasury model is breaking, but Strategy’s isn’t. Here’s why Ming Shing will not pay cash for the BTC. Instead, it plans to issue 10-year, 3% convertible notes (convertible at $1.20/share) and 12-year warrants covering a total of 402,467,916 shares (exercisable at $1.25/share). Two British Virgin Islands-based firms are involved. Winning Mission Group is selling the 4,250 BTC and will receive a $241,480,750 convertible note plus a warrant for 201,233,958 shares. Rich Plenty Investment will receive the same package from Ming Shing and issue a promissory note to Winning Mission for 2,125 BTC. Massive potential dilution for shareholders The structure could sharply dilute Ming Shing’s existing shareholders. The company currently has fewer than 13 million shares outstanding. If the convertible notes are exercised but warrants remain unexercised, the share count would jump to more than 415 million, leaving current shareholders with about 3.1% ownership. In a worst-case scenario — if all notes, warrants and accrued interest were converted — Ming Shing’s share count could rise to almost 939 million, reducing current holders to about 1.4% ownership.

The S&P 500’s predictive power might've been broken beyond repair

The S&P 500’s predictive power might've been broken beyond repair

The post The S&P 500’s predictive power might've been broken beyond repair appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The S&P 500 is no longer the economic crystal ball it used to be. The index looks strong on the surface, because that small group of tech giants (you know, Nvidia, Microsoft, and Meta Platforms) are pulling all the weight harder than they ever have before. But the problem is those megacaps have grown so big that they now account for around one-third of the total value of the S&P 500. That’s seven companies distorting the signal of 500. For years, the index was considered a leading economic indicator, even used by the Conference Board in its 10-part Leading Economic Index. But now, that predictive function looks damaged. The rest of the market, the so-called “S&P 495,” has become the real indicator of what’s actually happening. Seven tech stocks pull the entire index higher So far in 2025, the S&P 500 has gained over 8%. But that number is a lie if you care about the broader market. The seven largest stocks in the index have risen more than 14% on average, and the median jump among them is above 20%. The other 493 companies? They’ve only managed an average and median rise of just over 5%. That gap shows how top-heavy the index has become. The Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP), which gives every stock the same importance, has dropped 0.1% this week. In the same time, the standard market cap-weighted index has lost more than 1%. Without the tech names dragging everything around, the picture changes. Sectors like energy, real estate, and health care, which have been underperforming all year, are finally ahead this week. Meanwhile, the same tech names that led the rally are underperforming. And it’s not just the S&P 500 that’s being distorted. The small-cap Russell 2000 index, which had been stuck with…

CFTC kicks off expanded crypto oversight push

CFTC kicks off expanded crypto oversight push

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is rolling out the next regulation phase for the fast-growing digital asset industry. Acting Chairman Caroline D. Pham announced an expanded “crypto sprint” to strengthen federal oversight of cryptocurrencies while safeguarding U.S. competitiveness in global finance. This move closely follows the commission’s prior action to allow the trading of listed digital-asset spot markets on registered futures exchanges. That decision, announced earlier this month, was seen as a turning point for the industry. Now the CFTC is expanding its lens beyond spot trading rules to the broader digital asset ecosystem. CFTC extends oversight to wider digital asset risks The agency’s focus, Pham said, is to ensure that crypto markets can function with the protections and integrity that undergird traditional financial markets. She said that trading of digital assets on the spot (cash) market is no longer a niche; it is the backbone of U.S. and international market activity. Pham said the new initiative was designed to ensure that the United States takes the lead in global digital finance. She explained that the CFTC’s broader oversight push represented what she described as the beginning of a “Golden Age of innovation.”  According to her, this new phase would allow the crypto industry to grow under a clear and responsible regulation framework. She stressed that far from restricting progress, the commission’s approach was intended to create an environment where innovation could flourish while maintaining safeguards for market integrity and investor protection. CFTC’s plan follows the blueprint of the Strengthening American Leadership in Digital Financial Technology, a report from the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets. The report lays out a plan to strike the right balance between innovation and sound supervision. It singles out potential sources of risk like leveraged, margin, and financed retail trading, which have the potential to leave investors with heavy losses if uncontrolled. In the increased sprint, the CFTC will now cover all of the advice provided in the report. That involves clarifying federal trading rules, beefing up compliance for exchanges, and working with other regulators to fill gaps in oversight. The SEC, the agency that oversees initial coin offerings and cryptocurrencies, is already collaborating with the CFTC through a campaign called “Project Crypto.” Working in close coordination, the two agencies are trying to draw a line regarding the limits of their authority, even as they close ranks to influence how the United States governs the cryptocurrency industry. CFTC calls on the public to help shape rules There will be strong public involvement in designing the new regulatory regime. For the next 5 years, through October 20, 2025, the CFTC is soliciting comments from investors, industry experts, innovators, and the public via a formal comment period. Pham urged all stakeholders to work together, stressing that contributions from major financial institutions and smaller innovators would be vital in shaping fair and effective regulations. She emphasized that the commission was committed to listening carefully to feedback from across the sector. According to her, the CFTC’s goal was to develop a framework of rules to secure America’s leadership in digital markets while ensuring that consumer interests remained fully protected. The consultation period arrived as the White House, in the Trump administration, pushed for a big increase in U.S. leadership in digital finance. The administration has described crypto and blockchain technology as weapons of national competitiveness, evoking past eras of American dominance in internet and mobile technology. By launching the consultation, the CFTC says that industry views will shape the sector’s future. Such a step would also relieve crypto proponents’ concerns that heavy-handed regulation could stifle innovation.

What To Know As Wall Street Meets Sportsbooks

The post What To Know As Wall Street Meets Sportsbooks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline Bettors will soon be able to wager on market movements, inflation, the price of gas and gold on FanDuel as part of a partnership between the popular sports betting platform and the derivatives exchange CME Group, further narrowing the gap between sportsbooks and Wall Street after the investing platform Robinhood announced an expansion into football wagering. The popular sports betting app will soon host event-based contracts linked to oil and gas prices, gold, the S&P 500 and more. Getty Images Key Facts FanDuel’s parent firm Flutter Entertainment and CME Group announced a joint venture Wednesday to “expand access to financial markets” for FanDuel customers, with event-based contracts listed on the FanDuel app that will be subject to CME Group’s regulations. The partnership will allow bettors to wager multiple times per day on contracts linked to the S&P 500, the Nasdaq, oil and gas prices and cryptocurrencies, as well as economic data like gross domestic product and inflation, the companies said, noting other unspecified offerings would be determined “in the coming months.” Bettors will express their views with “yes” or “no” positions for as little as $1, the companies said in a statement, and the partnership does not allow users to actually buy or sell stocks on FanDuel. Event-based contracts on FanDuel are expected to launch later this year Robinhood Launches Football Predictions Market FanDuel’s announcement came one day after Robinhood launched pro and college football prediction markets within the online broker’s app. Bettors will now be able to wager on the outcomes of both regular season NFL matchups and college football games involving the Southeastern Conference, the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Big Ten Conference and the Big 12 Conference, according to Robinhood.

Thursday links: Investing, revenue meta, DATs, prediction markets

The post Thursday links: Investing, revenue meta, DATs, prediction markets appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. “Investing is about beliefs in the future, and what to do when they’re wrong.” — Rohit Krishnan Fundamentals vs. flows The crypto investor Jon Charbonneau explains that crypto investing is just investing. Whatever the asset class, he argues, there are only two basic ways to approach investing: forecasting fundamentals or predicting flows. Fundamental investors form beliefs about future cash flows: “The whole point of fundamental investing is that you don’t need other people to agree with you” (aka the Warren Buffett way). Flow investors form beliefs about future trading flows: “You’re just hoping someone else will buy it from you at an even higher multiple” (aka the greater fool theory). These are familiar concepts, but it’s helpful to see them framed so thoughtfully in the context of crypto. Either approach can work, Charbonneau says, but things get muddled if you don’t know which one you’re taking. For example, is ETH a fundamental investment or a flows one?  It seems to be a little of both, which makes the investment case more complex: “It requires taking more leaps of faith around human behavior and market psychology.” That sounds difficult.  The simplicity of Bitcoin’s flows-based investment thesis, by contrast, has been so successful that it “can straddle the line of ‘fundamental investing’ and ‘greater fool investing’ depending on how you quantify monetary utility.” I personally think “monetary utility” is mostly fake news, but I also think bitcoin has probably hit escape velocity and can now be considered a fundamental investment, like gold.  Crypto investing more generally may be at a similar inflection point.  “Historically, it has paid off to be primarily flows-driven as a crypto investor,” Charbonneau notes. “Looking forward though, I believe that focusing more on fundamentals…could finally produce more alpha as the industry matures.” That would be good news because, as…
