A Wave Of Approved Crypto Funds Based on reports, this development follows a broader rollout of spot and futures crypto ETFs since US spot Bitcoin ETFs arrived in January 2024. Ethereum spot products launched in July 2024, and Solana listings came in October 2025. The US Securities and Exchange Commission has approved more than 40 crypto-related ETF products this year, which market participants say has opened familiar rails for mainstream investors. Vanguard’s choice to allow crypto access inside standard retirement and broker accounts is being cited as a change that lets many Americans gain exposure without deep crypto know-how. What This Means For Investors According to analysts and market observers, the speed of these flows underlines strong demand for regulated crypto vehicles. Big-name asset managers entering the market have helped create options that look and act like other mutual funds or ETFs, which can ease the path for retirement plans and advisers to take part. At the same time, a large share resting in a single debut fund shows concentration risk: Canary’s XRPC accounts for more than half of the total net assets, and that matters for liquidity and fund dynamics if flows shift.

Twenty One Capital, a major player in the Bitcoin (BTC) treasury sector founded by Jack Mallers, is on the verge of going public in the United States. However, ahead of its highly anticipated debut on December 9, the company has moved a substantial sum of 43,500 BTC—approximately worth $4.5 billion—into an escrow wallet. This move has sparked market concerns about a potential sell-off, which could create major selling pressure for the leading cryptocurrency as it attempts to consolidate above the key $90,000 support level. $1.5 Billion Loss In Bitcoin Investments Experts on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), such as OxNobler, have pointed out that the company is currently grappling with a significant $1.5 billion loss on its Bitcoin investment. He warned that this financial pressure could potentially lead to a new crash for Bitcoin and adversely affect the broader cryptocurrency market as well.

However, Jack Mallers had previously addressed the reasoning behind this monumental Bitcoin transfer. According to him, this step is part of the preparations for Twenty One Capital’s upcoming listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). As part of the transaction, the company is transitioning 43,500 BTC from third-party custody to a self-custody account, ensuring transparency by updating its proof of reserves accordingly.

A significant milestone was reached on December 3, when shareholders of CEP approved a business merger with Twenty One Capital, paving the way for the company’s initial public offering (IPO). Once the transactions are finalized, the combined entity will operate as Twenty One Capital, Inc., with its shares expected to begin trading on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “XXI.” Twenty One Capital Gears Up For IPO Amid the preparations for its anticipated debut in the US, the firm has indicated that it will focus exclusively on Bitcoin-related ventures, offering shareholders new opportunities to gain exposure to BTC through equity markets. With a Bitcoin-native operating framework and a long-term strategy designed for value creation, Twenty One intends to establish itself as a leading platform for capital-efficient Bitcoin accumulation and related business initiatives.
