Regulated Futures are similar: no privacy coins on Coinbase’s CFTC-regulated futures platform, and obviously none on the CME.
It’s super interesting to see the real time convergence of crypto and tradfi. Who wins?
TradFi - crypto ETFs, treasury companies, crypto company IPOs, crypto-backed mortgages, crypto-backed credit products, stables-powered payments
Crypto - 24/7 tokenized equity trading, high yield savings accounts, lending markets, stables/payment platforms, prediction markets
The build up to Bitcoin and Ether ETPs felt monumentous. It drove the entire crypto market narrative with all eyes watching. Although subsequent launches have had material inflows, it's felt surprisingly low energy. 1.5 years ago we couldn't have dreamed of 100+ crypto ETFs !
2026 PREDICTION: More than 100 crypto-linked ETFs will launch in the U.S.
In October 2025, the SEC published generic listing standards, allowing ETF issuers to launch crypto ETFs under a general set of rules. A clearer regulatory roadmap in 2026 is why we see the stage being set for “ETF-palooza.”
@JSeyff, how’s that list looking? 👀
Instl DeFi is coming ! 📈
A new era of onchain liquidity is coming.
We’re teaming up again with @StateStreetIM to launch SWEEP — a tokenized private liquidity fund built for the next generation of cash management*.
I'll be on @therollupco today at 1:30ET to discuss the @galaxyhq acquisition of Alluvial and the partnership with Liquid Collective
Gm. Today's Rollup TV line-up is in:
12:00p ET @cindyleowtt - @DriftProtocol
12:30p ET AI Supercycle @ilblackdragon - @NEARProtocol
1:30p ET Zane Glauber - @galaxyhq & @chriscryptonite - @liquid_col
2:00p ET @roham - @flow_blockchain
Tune in below.
I’m excited to share two big updates.
First, I’m stepping into a new role as the CEO for the Liquid Collective (@liquid_col)!
Second, @galaxyhq has acquired @alluvialfinance and is now the development company for the Liquid Collective. This partnership will strengthen the protocol through Galaxy’s depth of technical expertise, institutional distribution, and alignment across the digital asset ecosystem.
The thesis is straightforward - all staking will ultimately become liquid staking, and institutions are only just beginning to adopt on-chain infrastructure.
Liquid Collective is the enterprise standard for liquid staking with over $1B in assets, and with Galaxy’s institutional capabilities across liquidity, staking, asset management, and DeFi, we’re uniquely positioned to scale this ecosystem together.
My focus will be to expand the Collective and bring the next wave of institutional platforms on-chain.
Time to build !
We’re proud to announce that Galaxy is now the Development Company for @liquid_col through our acquisition of @alluvialfinance

DATs are a natural fit to serve as the primary public market on-ramp and exit path for higher quality crypto startups. Will give the DATs more resiliency and legitimacy too through diversified revenue streams.

Interesting, $ARKW added a Canadian Ether ETF (staking in ETFs is legal up there) over $ARKZ (eth futures) and $CETH (spot eth no staking). This may also help explain why ARK didn't go with 21Shares in Ether ETF, they wanted staked ETF for $ARKW. h/t @Todd_Sohn
