Investors are better off buying ETFs than buying shares in a firm that’s simply putting a crypto asset on its balance sheet, argues Bitwise’s Matt Hougan. Bitwise chief investment officer Matt Hougan says digital asset treasuries need to start taking the hard path if they want to stand out from the crowd; otherwise, investors are better off investing in crypto exchange-traded funds instead. One of the best ways to discern whether a digital asset treasury (DAT) is worth looking at is to ask the question, “Are they doing something hard?” Hougan argued in an X post on Wednesday. “Buying a crypto asset and putting it on a balance sheet today isn’t hard. It was hard at one point, but it’s not hard now. If that’s all a DAT is doing, you are better off owning an ETF. This is true even if the DAT is staking, as ETFs now stake,” he said. Read more

Speaking to Fox Business on Wednesday, the crypto-friendly Mayor was asked if he was “concerned” about Bitcoin (BTC) following the recent dip under $100,000, with most of the crypto market also bleeding over the past week.  “No, because I got paid at $30,000, so it’s up 300%, it was actually up to 400% when it was up to $120,000, so I’m not concerned about everyday market swings from one day to the other,” he said, adding:  Read more

The mixed ruling was claimed as a victory by both Stability AI and Getty Images, muddying the legal waters around AI and intellectual property. The United Kingdom’s High Court of Justice issued a mixed ruling on Tuesday in the Getty Images v.

Stability’s Stable Diffusion AI model infringed on Getty’s trademark by reproducing its watermark in certain cases. However, the findings were “extremely limited in scope,” Justice Joanna Smith ruled. Read more
