Why Strategy Sold Bitcoin, VanEck’s BNB Bet and a $1.7B ETF Exodus

On this episode of CoinDesk's Public Keys from the New York Stock Exchange, host Jennifer Sanasie is joined by Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Research Analyst James Seyffart to break down the SpaceX IPO's pull on crypto capital, four consecutive weeks of Bitcoin ETF outflows topping $1.7 billion, and the Zcash counterfeiting bug. VanEck Director of Digital Assets Product Kyle DaCruz unpacks VBNB, the first US spot BNB ETF, the rise of "revenue chains," and what staking rewards will mean for the product. 100X Capital CIO Joy Pathak — also known as the Wizard of SoHo — shares his top conviction trade in the 10X segment. Plus, Benchmark-StoneX Managing Director Mark Palmer breaks down why the market overreacted to Strategy's first publicized Bitcoin sale, his $570 price target on the company, and his Buy rating with a $32 target on Strive. - This episode of Public Keys is brought to you by Kraken Pro.
