The CLARITY’s Act's last fight isn’t about crypto
Arca Portfolio Manager David Nage guest authors this week’s That’s Our Two Satoshis, covering:
• CLARITY’s market-structure policy moving closer to completion
• Stablecoin yield compromise moving beyond bank objections
• Ethics provision becoming the central political obstacle
• Universal ethics ban as the potential path forward
@DavidNage examines why CLARITY’s final hurdle may be less about crypto policy than Washington’s ethics and optics problem.

"The issue isn't Bitcoin. The issue is balance sheet management."
Our CIO, Jeff Dorman, joined Laura Shin to discuss why markets reacted so strongly to Strategy's recent decisions and what investors may be overlooking.
Full interview shared below. 👇
Jun 2
"It's just complete balance sheet mismanagement"
Jeff Dorman on why Strategy is being forced to sell Bitcoin
"The market was worried they weren't gonna be able to satisfy the dividend. So they raised about $2 billion and said now you don't have to worry for a year and a half because we have this $2 billion sitting on the balance sheet solely to pay dividends. Everyone breathes a sigh of relief"
"Then a month later he takes 1.4 billion of that cash cushion and buys back some of his convertible debt at 92 cents on the dollar, completely the opposite of what he said the cash was for. He retired 2029 maturity debt, which doesn't come due for three more years"
"Now that one and a half year cash cushion suddenly fell to four months. He comes out on Monday and says we're actually gonna sell some Bitcoin. It's teasing the market that that's the only choice he has now. That's why Bitcoin's imploding, that's why the stock is imploding"

Prediction markets aren't just for forecasting.
Arca recently executed a $10 million OTC prediction market transaction tied to the CLARITY Act, which we believe represents a novel application of prediction markets as a portfolio risk-management tool.
Thanks to @galaxyhq for partnering on the transaction.
Arca Co-Founder & CIO Jeff Dorman discusses this evolution—and what it could mean for institutional investors—in his Two Satoshis, which you can read here 👉 bit.ly/4x5DGc4
Disclaimer: Not investment advice and not a solicitation or offer to sell securities or investment advisory services.
Today, we're launching institutional OTC prediction markets trading through our Global Markets desk.
Hedge funds, family offices, and other institutional clients can now access prediction market liquidity at sizes and with a level of discretion suited to institutional scale.
