In an interview, Eric Balchunas, a senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, stated that many ETF applicants have updated their filings using a cash creation redemption model. As of December 22nd, the applications of seven applicants were set for cash creation while the registration statements of another seven included both cash and in-kind models. Most existing ETFs involve in-kind creations which means when intermediaries want to issue new shares of an ETF they use actual assets like Bitcoin to provide funds to companies like BlackRock. This is how 90% of ETFs work - in kind. Only 10% are cash.

ETF analysts believe that the reason why the U.S SEC wants spot Bitcoin ETFs to adopt a cash model is because they want to minimize the number of intermediaries who can obtain actual Bitcoins during the redemption and issuance process. The U.S Securities and Exchange Commission hopes to "further close the loop" and reduce money laundering issues.

Goldman Sachs Volatility Panic Index surged to 9.57, approaching its maximum value, with the largest single-day increase ranking third in history, and the combined two-day volatility setting a new record. Historical data shows that after this index has exceeded the 9.5 threshold 15 times, the S&P 500 has seen an average three-month gain of 4.6% with a success rate of 80%. However, Goldman Sachs traders warn that forced liquidations have not yet fully cleared, and the market is still searching for a bottom, but opportunities on the other side are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.
