- 06:12Vanguard executive continues to compare Bitcoin to "digital Labubu," stating it lacks long-term investment valueBlockBeats News, December 13 — Despite recent adjustments in national policies, a senior executive at asset management giant Vanguard compared bitcoin to a speculative toy this week, highlighting the persistent skepticism traditional financial institutions have toward digital assets. Meanwhile, the company has begun allowing clients to trade crypto-related ETFs. According to Bloomberg, John Ameriks, Vanguard’s Global Head of Quantitative Equity, stated that bitcoin lacks the cash flow and compounding characteristics the company seeks in long-term investments. At Bloomberg’s ETFs in Depth conference in New York, he described cryptocurrency as a “digital Labubu”—“To me, bitcoin is at best a digital Labubu,” Ameriks noted, adding that he sees no clear evidence that the underlying blockchain technology can generate lasting economic value. Vanguard, which manages about $12 trillion in assets, now allows clients to buy and sell funds holding bitcoin, ethereum, XRP, and solana, placing cryptocurrencies alongside other assets such as gold. Ameriks said the decision to open up trading permissions was based on the track record established by spot bitcoin ETFs launched in January 2024. “If clients wish, we allow them to hold and purchase these ETFs on the platform, but that is for them to decide,” he said. “We do not provide advice on trading decisions or on which specific tokens to hold.” He acknowledged that bitcoin may ultimately demonstrate value in certain scenarios, such as periods of high inflation or political turmoil, but emphasized that the asset’s history is too short to support a clear investment thesis. “If we could observe reliable price movements in those situations, we could discuss its investment logic more rationally,” he said. “But for now, that evidence does not exist.”

Previously, this institution had accumulated approximately $13 million worth of PENDLE between March and September at an average price of $3.16. Currently, the price of PENDLE has dropped to $2.19, resulting in an unrealized loss of about $3.99 million for this position.
- 06:12DeFi Industry Alliance Sends Letter to SEC Refuting Citadel Securities' Proposal to Strengthen DeFi RegulationBlockBeats News, December 13 — After hedge fund giant Citadel Securities submitted a 13-page letter to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recommending stricter regulation of decentralized finance protocols handling tokenized securities, the industry responded on Friday with a joint letter, directly stating that Citadel’s arguments are “baseless.” The letter, co-signed by the DeFi Education Fund, venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), the Digital Chamber, Orca Creative, attorney J.W. Verret, and the Uniswap Foundation, addressed to the SEC, stated: “While we agree with Citadel’s goals regarding investor protection, market order, and the integrity of the national market system, we oppose its view that ‘achieving these goals always requires registration with traditional SEC intermediaries and cannot, in certain cases, be accomplished through carefully designed on-chain markets.’” Citadel Securities insists that DeFi protocols may operate as exchanges or brokers that require registration and regulation. However, the new SEC leadership under the Trump administration has been seeking to give the crypto industry more policy space this year. Patrick McHenry, the White House crypto advisor, recently posted on social platform X that his office supports “the necessity of protecting software developers and DeFi.” “As we detailed in our comment letter, Citadel Securities strongly supports tokenization and other innovations that can strengthen America’s leadership in digital finance, but this should not come at the expense of robust investor protections—these very protections are what make the U.S. stock market the global gold standard,” a company spokesperson said in an emailed statement. The DeFi alliance’s response pointed out that Citadel’s letter contains “multiple factual inaccuracies and misleading statements.” Jennifer Rosenthal, spokesperson for the DeFi Education Fund, suggested that the institution is protecting its own commercial interests: “For Citadel, questioning the existence of a technology that threatens its business and significant market share is rather convenient.”
