GameStop and Venezuela’s Petro Coin – Tale of Two Crypto Exits
Crypto News | Jan 15, 2024

GameStop has decided to shut down its NFT marketplace
About a year and a half after its launch, GameStop is exiting the NFT business. The company's decision to wind down its NFT marketplace, which supported gaming NFTs and other collectibles across Immutable X and Loopring, both scaling networks, is primarily due to the ongoing regulatory uncertainty in the crypto space. This move comes just four months after GameStop announced the termination of its NFT wallet for similar reasons.
See: ‘Mugshot Edition’ Trump NFTs Blending Politics, Memorabilia and Digital Assets
GameStop first ventured into the NFT space in 2021, hiring a 20-person team to oversee the gaming NFT marketplace. Despite initial enthusiasm, including a collaboration with Immutable and establishing a $100 million fund in Immutable's IMX token, the venture faced challenges. The company even cashed out a significant portion of the IMX tokens shortly after receiving them.
The marketplace's closure, effective February 2, 2024, has been communicated to traders via a pop-up message on its site. Interestingly, the decision to stagger the departure from crypto, instead of a simultaneous shutdown of both the wallet and the marketplace, remains unclear.
Meanwhile, Venezuela Announce Closure of Its National Cryptocurrency, The Petro (PTR)
Venezuela's national cryptocurrency, the Petro (PTR), will cease operations on January 15, 2024. Launched in 2018 as a means to circumvent U.S. sanctions, the Petro struggled to gain acceptance both domestically and internationally. The coin, backed by the country's oil reserves, was launched amidst significant opposition and scandal, including a $5 million bounty by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for the capture of Joselit Ramirez Camacho, head of the National Superintendency of Crypto Assets overseeing the Petro.

Despite achieving full functionality in 2020, the Petro was never traded abroad and failed to become legal tender in Venezuela. Its limited domestic use and the lack of mandatory acceptance contributed to its downfall. The closure of the Petro is part of a broader reorganization within Venezuela's crypto and oil sectors.
Implications
The closures of GameStop's NFT marketplace and Venezuela's Petro coin signify a cautious approach towards digital assets amidst regulatory uncertainties and market volatility.
Both the decision by GameStop to shutdown its NFT marketplace and Venezuela's Petro Coin to cease operations are prime examples of the difficult challenges traditional companies and governments face when integrating cryptocurrencies and NFTs into their operations and economies.
See: OMFIF Podcast: Smart Contracts and Retail CBDCs
For GameStop, the pivot away from NFTs and crypto might be a strategic realignment to focus on its core business in the gaming industry.
In the case of Venezuela, the Petro's failure to gain traction, both domestically and internationally, reflects the difficulties in creating a state-backed digital currency that can operate independently of traditional financial systems.

SEC Greenlights Bitcoin ETFs. Is Ethereum Next?
Investing News | Jan 11, 2024
Image by Upl56 on Freepik
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved the launch of various spot Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) applications
As widely reported, the SEC has approved applications for 11 issuers, including major players like BlackRock and Grayscale. The approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs, a process that began in 2013 which tracks the current price of Bitcoin, is expected to open new flows of investment from wealth managers and everyday traders.
See: SEC Hack and Bitcoin ETF Approval Insights
Previously, the SEC had rejected applications for spot Bitcoin ETFs, citing market immaturity and potential manipulation risks. However, the recent approval indicates a change in perception, acknowledging the growing maturity and stability of the crypto market. A watershed moment for crypto.
“Order granting accelerated approval” it’s over. Thank God. pic.twitter.com/qCozlxzSBX
— Eric Balchunas (@EricBalchunas) January 10, 2024
SEC Chair, Gary Gensler, Releases Statement
Outlook
Following the SEC's approval of Bitcoin ETFs, the price of Ether, the cryptocurrency linked to Ethereum, spiked to its highest level since May 2022. This surge is driven by investor optimism that an ETF for Ether might also be approved.
See: OSC: 2023 Canadian Crypto Survey Insights
However, SEC Chair Gary Gensler has cautioned that the approval of Bitcoin ETFs does not necessarily indicate a similar readiness for other crypto asset securities. Commentators are divided over whether an Ether ETF will be approved in 2024, with some expressing skepticism due to the ongoing debate over whether cryptocurrencies like Ethereum are classified as securities or commodities. As the market responds to this development, it remains to be seen how other cryptocurrencies like Ether will be impacted and whether they too will see similar ETF approvals in the future.

Celsius Creditors to Return Funds Withdrawn Pre-Bankruptcy
Crypto News | Jan 10, 2024
Celsius Asks Creditors to Return Funds Withdrawn Within 90 Days Pre-Bankruptcy
Celsius, a cryptocurrency lending platform, is in the midst of a major financial restructuring following its bankruptcy declaration. The company is now requesting certain creditors who withdrew large sums in the months leading up to the bankruptcy to return a portion of their funds. This move is part of a broader effort to manage the company's financial crisis and ensure equitable treatment of all creditors.
See: CDPQ Posts $33.6 Billion Loss (H1 2022) After Writing Off US$150 Million in Celsius Network
- Celsius is focusing on account holders who withdrew over $100,000 in the 90 days before their bankruptcy declaration on July 13, 2022. These individuals are being asked to return 27.5% of their withdrawn amount.
- Those who fail to comply with the request may face legal action. The initiative aims to recover funds for equitable distribution among all creditors. Compliance with the fund return request makes creditors eligible for future distributions under Celsius's reorganization plan.
- Account holders who withdrew less than $100,000 are not required to return funds but must participate in the voting process regarding the reorganization plan.
- The company, along with its founder and CEO Alex Mashinsky, faces lawsuits from regulatory bodies like the SEC, FTC, and CFTC for allegedly misleading customers. Mashinsky is charged with fraud, and Celsius has agreed to a $4.7 billion settlement with the FTC.

SEC Hack and Bitcoin ETF Approval Insights
Crypto News | Jan 10, 2024
Image by Harryarts on Freepik
The SEC's Twitter account was compromised, leading to a false post about the approval of Bitcoin ETFs.
This incident was not due to a breach of X's systems but was attributed to an unidentified individual gaining control over a phone number associated with the SEC's account. The false post led to a temporary spike in Bitcoin prices, highlighting the market's sensitivity to regulatory news.
"The SEC's recent security breach is a stark reminder of the fragility of digital systems in the face of sophisticated cyber threats. As we move towards the potential approval of a Bitcoin ETF, it's imperative to bolster our cybersecurity measures to safeguard investor interests." Source: CNBC
The @SECGov twitter account was compromised, and an unauthorized tweet was posted. The SEC has not approved the listing and trading of spot bitcoin exchange-traded products.
— Gary Gensler (@GaryGensler) January 9, 2024
What to Expect Post-Approval
The approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF by the SEC is a much-anticipated event in the financial world. This move could mark a significant shift in the cryptocurrency market, offering investors a regulated and potentially safer avenue to invest in Bitcoin.
See: Former Citi Executives Launch Bitcoin Securities Startup
- The approval could lead to increased legitimacy and adoption of Bitcoin, potentially driving up its price.
- A regulated Bitcoin ETF could attract a broader range of investors, including those who are cautious about direct cryptocurrency investments.
- The SEC's decision could pave the way for more stringent regulations in the cryptocurrency market.
Comparative Table on Prospective Spot Bitcoin ETF Fees
| ETF Provider | Initial Fee | Fee After Initial Period |
|---|---|---|
| Bitwise (BITB) | 0.0% | 0.2% (after first 6 months) |
| ARK Invest/21Shares (ARKB) | 0.0% | 0.21% (after first 6 months) |
| Invesco Galaxy Bitcoin ETF (BTCO) | 0.0% | 0.39% (after first 6 months) |

| Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) | 1.5% | - |
| Hashdex Bitcoin (DEFI) | 0.9% | - |
And What About An Ethereum ETF?
With a spot Bitcoin ETF now imminent, anticipation of an spot Ethereum ETF being approved and the path to an Ether ETF seems more probable than ever. BlackRock, a major player in traditional finance, has already filed an S-1 form with the SEC for its iShares Ethereum Trust, a spot ether ETF. This move indicates a strong interest from institutional investors in Ethereum-based products. Learn more about Ethereum blockchain.
Recently, Ether traded over $2,400, marking a 5% increase within 24 hours. This rise contrasts with Bitcoin's 2.2% decline in the same period, partly due to volatility caused by fake tweets from a hacked U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission account.
See: The Race for Ethereum Futures ETF Applications
The optimism isn't limited to Ether alone. Tokens of applications built on Ethereum, like Lido's LDO and RocketPool's RPL, have also experienced significant gains. Layer 2 networks, which operate atop Ethereum but as independent blockchains, have seen their tokens, such as Mantle's MNT and Optimism's OP, increase in value. This trend reflects a broader market movement, anticipating the potential of an Ether ETF.
In Anticipation
While the financial world debates the anticipation of the SECs approval of various spot Bitcoin ETFs, the SEC's account hack serves as a critical reminder of the importance of cybersecurity in the financial sector. Stay tuned. More to come...
