The SEC came through, approving Bitcoin ETFs and Twitter has exploded.
Celebrations, adverts, humor and some very serious people.
Discover just what the biggest players are saying.
Bitcoin ETFs are a thing. Last night the SEC approved their
operations and Bitcoin evangelists the world over have taken to Twitter and
other platforms to shout the news from the rooftops.
Some are serious, obviously appealing to men in suits. Others
remind us here at Finance Magnates of a child who’s ingested too many “E”
numbers. It’s a party atmosphere over on Twitter, sorry, X, with some organizations and institutions
trying to keep calm and act professional while others are losing all sense of
decorum.
And all this comes after the SEC's little Twitter whoopsie, of course.
Crypto Twitter - Elation with Some Calm Heads
Here, we take a look at how Bitcoin’s biggest names, including the
ETFs themselves, are reacting to the news.
We kick off with Binance who are, amazingly, quite restrained.
They’re posting useful information.
21Shares, likewise, are also
posting very serious, adult content. Go to them and Binance if you actually
want to understand what’s going on.
Fidelity Investments, they of the Fidelity Wise
Origin Bitcoin Fund don’t appear to be awake. Perhaps they partied a little too
long, but their Twitter feed is disappointingly quiet. Check this out from November.
Galaxy are playing it cool, with a (relatively)
clever little Tweet. We admit it, we smiled.
But. Forget today. Bitwise are the people who
brought us this, all the way back in December.
Nobody’s done it better.
VanEck’s Twitter admin clearly needs to step
away from their phone and take a breath. They’ve eaten too many Smarties and
they should calm down. But more power to them.
Evidence of an admin who clearly needs to slow down.
You get the feeling that Valkyrie have got better things to do than get
on social media. But, they did speak to Fortune before it all kicked off.
Sensible of them.
Hashdex. OK. That’s
cute. It’s not as good as BitWise, but we give credit where credit’s due. Get
it?
Grayscale. True
to their name, they’re a little dull. Informative, but a little dull. Someone
has to keep their heads.

Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
At iFX Expo Dubai, Finance Magnates spoke with Razi Salih, CEO at Paytiko, about the evolution of the payments ecosystem and why payment orchestration has shifted from an option to a necessity for brokers, prop firms, and exchanges.
Mr. Salih explains how global expansion, the need for deep localisation, and the sheer number of new payment methods, from instant banking to stablecoins, are driving this critical infrastructure shift.

Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav sits down with Finance Magnates to discuss the core technology challenges facing CFD brokers and proprietary trading firms today.
Jadhav explains how the industry's reliance on batch processing and fragmented systems (where CRMs, risk tools, and trading platforms operate with separate 'sources of truth') leads to delayed data and inconsistent operational decisions. He argues that real-time event processing is essential for managing fast-moving trading activity and risk.
Learn how Altima's unified, event-driven architecture, connecting Altima CRM, Altima Prop, IB systems, and risk management through a single backbone, is designed to provide synchronous data and better operational coordination for modern brokerage and prop firm stacks.
Key Topics:
- Broker and Prop Firm Data Challenges
- The problem of delayed data processing (batch processing vs. real-time events)
- Fragmented systems and conflicting data sources
- Altima's unified, event-driven solution architecture
- The concept of a "risk-aware CRM"
- Built-in risk management in Altima Prop
