"Bitcoin ETF Issuers Engage in Fee War as SEC Reissues Crypto Warning"

Investment managers, including BlackRock, VanEck, Ark Investments/21Shares, and Bitwise, have disclosed the fees they plan to charge for their proposed spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) ahead of an SEC approval deadline.

Tokenised Funds Approved for British Investment Managers

British investment managers have received approval to develop tokenised funds, allowing assets to be split into smaller tokens backed by blockchain technology.

Funds authorized by the Financial Conduct Authority can now begin offering tokenised funds, as long as the investments are in mainstream assets and valuation and settlement arrangements remain unchanged.

Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett's right-hand man, has criticized investment managers, calling them "fortune tellers or astrologers who are dragging money out of their clients' accounts." He argues that there is currently a "glut of investment managers that's bad for the country." Munger believes that most financial advisors and wealth managers claim they can beat the market to draw in clients, but end up just putting the money into simple indexes to avoid big losses. He warns of more "trouble" for banks as a result of the ailing commercial real estate sector that could put even more pressure on investment managers.

Charlie Munger, the vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, has criticized investment managers, calling them "fortune tellers or astrologers who are dragging money out of their clients' accounts."
