CFB Talks Digital Assets Episode 32: Bitcoin ETF Options are here! Featuring FalconX's David Lawant and Nello Cafcules


As crypto’s banner year draws to a close, we’re stoked to welcome two of the most insightful experts in the capital markets space to CFB Talks Digital Assets.


FalconX is the world’s leading crypto prime brokerage, so who better to talk through the recent mammoth debut of options on Bitcoin ETFs, and a brace of other hot topics, than David Lawant, the firm's Head of Research, and Nello Cafcules, their ETF Business Development Manager.

  • Join us as we explore why crypto ETF options represent multiple ‘unlocks’, and an even deeper digital asset convergence with TradFi than widely recognised
  • Hear why the latest 13F filings make Nello “very bullish” on the chances of giant capital allocators adding Bitcoin ETFs in the coming year
  • Evidence that ‘TAMPS’ - turnkey asset management providers - are making final preparations to on-ramp RIA clients to their platforms
  • What’s in store on the regulatory front from the change of leadership at the SEC, and the super pro-crypto Trump administration? We explore potential for in-kind create/redeem Bitcoin ETFs, and more ....
  • Why we should all keep a close eye on David’s ‘Liquidity Absorption Ratio’ concept for clues on when Bitcoin could break above $100k

Dive into our latest in-depth podcast chat for exclusive insights on all these points and a lot more!
