In the latest episode of The Market Report, Cointelegraph analyst Marcel Pechman explores Grayscale’s recent victory in its legal battle against the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Although there is still no decision on Grayscale's application for a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), the outcome was positive for the company and its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, which manages over $16 billion in assets.
Evergrande's bankruptcy raises questions
Pechman also delves into the bankruptcy of Chinese real estate giant Evergrande and raises the question of why it took nearly two years for the company to announce its inability to repay its debt. The Kobeissi Letter suggests that this may be linked to China's recent unexpected cut in interest rates.
China's stock market measures and potential impact
China recently implemented various measures to stimulate the stock market, Pechman highlights. However, he expresses concern that if the Chinese markets were to collapse, it would have a negative effect on risk-on assets, including stocks, cryptocurrencies, and commodities.
A shift towards Bitcoin in the future?
Pechman argues that while a collapse of the Chinese markets may not be favorable, there could be a separate movement towards Bitcoin in the coming months. Investors may realize that the government's inability to sustain itself without injecting liquidity could lead to their own dilution, ultimately benefiting cryptocurrencies.
16 trillion Pepecoin tokens allegedly stolen
Pechman also provides an explanation for the reported theft of 16 trillion Pepecoin (PEPE) tokens and offers advice on how to avoid falling victim to scams involving altcoins.
