Defunct crypto lending firm BlockFi has applied to a court to request the transfer of “trade-only” assets from its users’ accounts into stablecoins so the individuals could withdraw them. The request marks another step toward the return of users’ funds, a process that the company began in August.

On Aug. 29, BlockFi filed an application to the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey to authorize the conversion of the so-called trade-only assets into stablecoins. The assets in question — Algorand’s native token, ALGO, Bitcoin Cash (B*H) and Dogecoin (DOGE) — cannot be withdrawn easily, and BlockFi suggests a one-time exchange for Gemini Dollar (GUSD) or another stablecoin.

Crypto.news - Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff warns that Grayscale’s recent legal victory in converting its GBTC to a spot Bitcoin ETF could be bearish for the cryptocurrency.

Schiff wrote in an Aug. 29 tweet, “GBTC becoming a spot ETF is actually bearish for Bitcoin.” He explained that traders can buy GBTC now and sell or short BTC. He added that once GBTC becomes an ETF, the discount to net asset value goes away.

The comment follows Grayscale Investments LLC securing judicial backing for initiating a Bitcoin spot ETF in the United States. Three federal judges annulled the SEC’s decision to prevent GBTC’s conversion to a spot Bitcoin ETF, allowing it to move forward instead.

Crypto.news - The race for stablecoin supremacy heats up as industry experts debate Tether’s role and new players like PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) enter the arena.

There are hopes that the United States could see a new crypto resurgence after several rulings this year have seen court judges “rein in the SEC,” according to a digital asset lawyer from K&L Gates.

On Aug. 31, Jeremy McLaughlin, a partner at the global law firm, noted that multiple U.S. court cases have stomped on arguments from Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler, who has said that almost all digital assets are securities.
