Proposed ‘AfterDark’ Bitcoin ETF Would Skip U.S. Trading Hours

[Michael Saylor Says the Middle East Could Become the Switzerland of the 21st Century if It Embraces Bitcoin] Michael Saylor stated at the Bitcoin MENA conference that if the Middle East embraces Bitcoin-backed banking, credit, and digital currencies, it has the potential to become the 'Switzerland of the 21st century.' He claimed this move could unlock opportunities worth up to $200 trillion and suggested that sovereign wealth funds invest in Bitcoin, banks provide Bitcoin custody and issue collateralized credit, and launch BTC-backed digital currency products. Saylor also noted that mainstream regulators and the banking system in the United States are gradually accepting Bitcoin as 'digital gold.'

Binance BNB/USDT is currently trading at $900.24, with a drop of 0.26% in 5 minutes. Please pay attention to market fluctuations.

The fund would hold bitcoin only overnight, betting on data showing bitcon gains mostly occur outside regular market hours.

BlackRock's filing for a staking ether ETF earlier this week has contributed to ETH's relative strength to bitcoin, one market strategist noted.
