24-Hour Roundup: BTC Buys, BNB ETF, Anthropic's $65B Raise…

A packed 24 hours across crypto and macro: Grant Cardone confirmed Cardone Capital added another 130 BTC on the latest pullback, leaning into the dip as a buying opportunity. JPMorgan is now hiring a dedicated Global Research Crypto Analyst, a signal that TradFi's institutional infrastructure build-out is accelerating. The CFTC joined Gemini in a motion to vacate its own consent order, with the regulator conceding the original complaint should never have been filed under current enforcement standards — a notable regulatory reversal.

VanEck launched the first U.S. spot BNB ETF ($VBNB), extending the ETF wrapper to a third major crypto asset after BTC and ETH. Meanwhile, Anthropic raised $65 billion at a $965 billion valuation, overtaking OpenAI as the world's most valuable AI startup.
