In mid-April, Solt captured a bronze medal at the Powerlifting America High School Nationals held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, an event that featured 450 participants. The Jim Thorpe freshman lifted a total of 1,135 pounds combined between the squat, bench press and deadlift events. “I competed against ninth- and 10th-graders in the 205-pound weight class,” Solt said. Each lifter cycles through three attempts at each lift, with the highest successful lifts counted toward their final total. The events are judged, and a foul results in a disqualification for that specific lift. Fouls can be called for several reasons, including failure to observe the chief referee’s signals to start or finish a lift, double bouncing at the bottom of a lift, or improper body positioning throughout the attempt. “Fouls happen to every lifter at one time or another,” Solt said. “You just have to accept it and not let it bother your mind before your next lift.” Solt’s bronze medal at nationals follows his gold-medal performances at the Pennsylvania state championships. He won gold in the squat, bench and deadlift events two years ago as a seventh grader competing at 182 pounds, and again last year in the 205-pound division. Powerlifting, one of the oldest international athletic events, has grown in popularity since the formation of the International Powerlifting Federation in 1972. The United States currently ranks fourth in the world in athlete participation. “I really got a passion for the sport when I was in seventh grade after my uncle introduced me to powerlifting,” Solt said. “Only three months after I started, I won the state event for my age group at Parkland High School.” Jim Thorpe coach John McGowan, who has coached lifters for 40 years, sees unlimited potential in Solt’s ever-improving abilities. “I’ve been coaching for a long time, and Michael is already one of the best lifters I’ve ever had,” McGowan said. “He’s ahead of schedule for his age group. The normal range for the squat lift at his age is around 300 pounds, and Michael is doing about 430. In the deadlift, he’s already surpassing the typical mark by lifting 460 pounds.” Solt’s parents, Melissa and Michael, have quickly learned about the sport and appreciate their son’s passion for powerlifting. “As a former dancer, that used to be my passion, so I understand Michael’s love for lifting,” Melissa said. “Of course, as his mother, I can’t help but get nervous every time he lifts, especially during the bench press. It’s important that he has good spotters.” Michael admits he feels some butterflies at competitions — but they don’t last long. “Once I get through my first lift, I’m completely calm the rest of the way,” he said. His father’s confidence comes from seeing his son’s commitment. “He trains without having to be told,” his father said. “He stays in good shape by doing calisthenics, running, playing football and participating in track. He keeps his body flexible by maintaining that kind of diversity.” At such a young age, Solt has both short- and long-term goals. “I want to win the state tournament again, win nationals, and eventually make the junior Olympic team,” he said. Despite his rigorous training and competition schedule, Solt also shines in the classroom, earning his name on the Principal’s List at Jim Thorpe for outstanding academic achievement. Not only is he the only local student to win both state and national medals, he also competes on a team of 40 members from Jim Thorpe — the only high school powerlifting team in the area. This Saturday and Sunday, Solt will defend his state title against lifters from across Pennsylvania. The event will be held at Jim Thorpe High School. Concrete poetry has defined Mary Ellen Solt’s legacy her anthology Concrete Poetry: A World View outstripped earlier compilations chronicling the movement’s origins through international manifestos and analytically characterizing the visual Solt was also fluent in a broader sphere of language that spanned semiotics and modernist poetry Her research interests were united by an emphasis on linguistic objecthood she proposes continuities between concrete poetry and the literary objectivist movement presenting William Carlos Williams as a proto-concrete model and including a poem by objectivist poet Louis Zukofsky among the collected works concrete poetry focused on “the physical material from which the poem or text is made,” as she writes in her anthology; likewise she states that modernist poetry admitted “no dislocation between language and material.” There is a direct line of correspondence between Solt’s scholarly interests and her creative practice Solt’s concretist collection included two of her own poems “Moonshot Sonnet” and “Forsythia,” betraying her interest in capturing the world around her through symbols and text In The Collected Poems of Mary Ellen Solt—which contains poems written between 1957 and 2007—a body of largely overlooked lyric writing bookends her prolific corpus of concrete poems showcasing how her concern with linguistic materiality surfaced in different forms across her career It also includes an afterword written by her daughter further underscoring the importance of her mother’s scholarly work on and relationship with Williams The collection shows that Solt’s formalist proclivity—her obsession with the thingness of words—predated her concrete work and engaged in verbivocovisual experimentation In her early free verse poems “Seascape” and “For William Carlos Williams,” Solt breaks her lines to visual effect cascading the text like waves down and across the page surface and using breaks and spacing to illustrate verbs such as “sways” and “fall.” This typographic technique is isolated in her later concrete poem “ZIGZAG,” in which recombinations of the titular word create meandering lines in a reverberant field of Zs Solt’s lyric poem “Mediterranean” evokes a sense of absence by placing breaks after “searching” and “erases” and splitting “re-/moved” and “de-/sire.” In parallel her concrete “Poem Without Beginning or End” quadruples each letter of the word and separates these clover-like clusters with line breaks and spaces in a poetics of separation and correspondence Solt’s minute understanding of visual affect bridges these eras and imbues her work with a visceral resonance In keeping with Solt’s scholarly and poetic emphasis on the real her concrete poems intimately link linguistic and material worlds in highly faithful visualizations and the letters that make up the branches and leaves of “Wild Crab” cohere in a convincing editor Susan Solt describes her mother holding onionskin paper up to a window to capture these floral likenesses she doesn’t shirk other possibilities encoded in language A poem from her “Dogwood” suite becomes musical notation the Ds and Gs used as their sonic equivalents while proliferating Os are whole notes on a scale A later work “Marriage: A Code Poem” is accompanied by ambiguously narrative glossaries beside which the poems braid into ornate geometries like the worked flourishes on a wrought-iron gate—suggestive perhaps of the endurance of matrimony and its potential both to protect and to cloister Solt’s meticulousness with form did not stop at composition The Primary Information publication reflects the extreme care with which Solt oversaw the production of works such as her celebrated book Flowers in Concrete reproducing this section on a vertically ribbed stock that emulates the laid paper of the original posters from “The Peoplemover 1968: A Demonstration Poem” have been registered perfectly such that the recto and verso of each page mimic the front-back dynamic of the colorful boards that Solt constructed for a performative countercultural protest Graphic designer Bryce Wilner’s painstaking treatment of Solt’s poems cannot be understated; many of the poems were entirely digitally reconstructed for this edition Solt’s poetry and scholarship provide a roadmap that connects the animating sensibilities of different poetic movements tethering worlds of language often sundered along literary and visual lines The Collected Poems of Mary Ellen Solt reveals a poet keenly attuned to the material forms that language takes from the placement of characters on a page to the paper upon which it is printed Nicole Kaack is an independent curator and writer.

In fact, at the beginning of this week, Solana decided to remove this advertisement published on its X account without making any statement about it at that time the announcement was used to promote the Solana Accelerate Conference and was removed after reaching over 1.2 million views It featured an advertising video lasting over 2 and a half minutes and showed a man representing “America,” engaged in a therapy session.  the protagonist expressed thoughts related to technological innovation The strong controversies were sparked by the psychologist’s responses who suggested the patient focus on other things like “inventing a new genre” or “concentrating on pronouns.”  decided to comment on the spot as follows:  “The announcement was terrible and it still eats away at my soul I am ashamed of having downplayed it instead of calling it what it is namely mean and punitive towards a marginalized group I am grateful to the developers and artists in the ecosystem who immediately called it what it is You are the only positive aspect of this whole mess I will do everything possible to ensure that the Solana Foundation remains focused on its mission of decentralization and open-source software development and stays out of cultural wars.” Stay updated on all the news about cryptocurrencies and the entire world of blockchain at her daughter’s home in Belleville she was a daughter of the late Charles and Clara Belle (Hart) Naylor Luke and Theodore Setzler and John and Katherine Murphy;

within our industry,” Bennett added You must be logged in to post a comment Matt Gallagher: You joined the military in 1984 Could you say a little bit more about the circumstances under which you enlisted and how your Navy career took off from there I was a young kid who struggled quite a bit I didn’t know it was because I’m gay because I didn’t know that I was gay I was barely graduating from high school when the Navy recruiter came and contacted a few of us who had no plans after high school and I had no desire to go into the military I was working at a gas station—really living the dream—and he said “Why don’t we go down to Phoenix and talk to some people?” And where he took me was down to the MEPS station and I didn’t really have a sense of agency I had raised my right hand with everybody else in that facility without really understanding what I was doing young kids would probably know that they could have gotten out of it that’s really how I ended up in the Navy.” because it seems to me like it could totally happen to kids today and it’s a very different enlistment story than some others I have heard— someone thinks or they have a parent or a family member who’s been in the military.” And they go in with a lot of decisiveness She invites you over to her home and to meet her partner in the company of their friends who became your friends The presence of gay communities within the Navy like the one you form with Tammy and her partner that’s a big part of your book—the sort of warmth and welcome of that community At one point you’re working in a Navy office in which half the women who have the same role as you do are gay and so you write a lot about hiding information I found myself also really interested in how information was shared given the constraints that you were operating under because you all managed to form these incredible communities around an identity that you were forbidden to talk about Can you say a little bit about how that happened I learned that there would be two aspects of myself There would be the lesbian who was free with her gay underground community Because that’s really what we were—this subculture within a larger culture that we really couldn’t exist in without getting punished or kicked out Who we were was actually considered to be a criminal We learned how to speak a certain language We watched out for each other when we were at work I learned pretty quickly how to survive within the system It was the first time that I really felt like I was comfortable in my own skin and I also found my family outside of the military as well I’m just thinking about that moment of disclosure and it’s so intensely vulnerable because you are potentially disclosing your identity potentially someone is going to report you which is not a TV show that’s accurate and so one of the things that NCIS would do back in those days was—we didn’t go to gay bars I think I’ve been to gay bars two or three times in my life—they would plant people at gay bars Or is that person here because of NCIS?”  You really didn’t know who to trust and who not to trust So for her to disclose her sexuality to me was a huge risk for her She was a much bigger rebel than I was at the time but Tammy took that to a whole other level I could have definitely been somebody that was a plant and she could have been gone the very next day just by telling me that having NCIS agents planted at gay bars seems like a tremendous waste of taxpayer money it felt like this silent enemy was always hunting us It became kind of embedded into my nervous system I knew that homophobic people were a threat I knew that there were certain commanders or people in leadership that I had to be really careful of but definitely NCIS before Don’t Ask both because you find your service fulfilling but also for the camaraderie you share with your friends But she eventually becomes unbearably unhappy with her job and she turns herself in as a way to get kicked out of the service because contacting her afterward would be too much of a risk for you Women in relationships also struggle to stay together on different naval assignments because they don’t get assigned to the same duty stations the way straight couples are What other paths in your naval career over your 22 years of service were closed to you because of your orientation About two and a half years into our relationship she got transferred away with the promise that she would go somewhere for a year and then we’d be reassigned together and we were apart for three and a half years I learned that three and a half years was challenging Probably most of what I write about in the book encompasses that period but neither one of us was willing to take assignments out of San Diego again because we knew that if we got separated again the chances of coming back together were really limited especially when she made senior chief and I made senior chief The billets that are available at that level are minimal Both of us sacrificed our careers at that point I believe that if we were a straight married couple that both of us would have made master chief because we could have taken challenging billets anywhere Karen Solt Hiding for My Life: Being Gay in the Navy Created by Grove Atlantic and Electric Literature Masthead About Sign Up For Our Newsletters How to Pitch

into darkness as early as 5 p.m Our nation emerges from a contentious election season All this is on top of our own personal and communal difficulties But the Lord Jesus comes anew in our hearts at the very darkest point of the year is by no means accidental; it is a poignant reminder of the presence of the Light of the World among us More than a fleeting feeling of inspiration the theological virtue of hope delves deeper the virtue of hope comes from God and stirs a desire in our hearts for “the Kingdom of Heaven and eternal life as our happiness” (CCC 1817) With the Holy Spirit’s inspiration and grace we can “[place] our trust in God’s promises [rely] not on our own strength,” and respond to the “aspiration to happiness which God has placed in the heart of every man” (CCC 1817-1818) the Catechism of the Catholic Church continues: “It keeps man from discouragement; it sustains him during times of abandonment; it opens up his heart in expectation of eternal beatitude he is preserved from selfishness and led to the happiness that flows from charity” (1818) the theological virtue of hope helps us fix our eyes on the things that are above “I think a really simple way to boil that down is that hope is the reality that Heaven is our home and God is faithful to his promises,” said Sr a religious sister with the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity known for her speaking her participation in the Abiding Together podcast and her work with the John Paul II Healing Center “We are pilgrims on this journey; this earth as we now live it is not our home The best of what we find here are just mere specks of what is awaiting us in the complete and total consummation with God forever for all eternity we often use it as synonymous with wishful thinking,” Sr pointing to Pope Benedict XVI’s famous line in Spe Salvi: “One who has hope lives differently; the one who hopes has been granted the gift of a new life” (2) “What the theological virtue of hope does is it orders our hearts toward Heaven So in moments in our lives when you and I experience uncertainty You said that you would make all things new But I’m going to place my hope in you.’ Because as St 'Hope does not disappoint' (Rm 5:5) because it’s based in Christ So that truly anchors us more than just a passing feeling Because of who Christ reveals himself to be The Christmas story is a perfect reminder to renew our hope in Christ the Light of the World comes anew to call our attention away from the darkness of our own “sorrowful mysteries,” those challenges “We see in Christ not just a distant model or a distant kind of figurehead but somebody who literally takes on our flesh and even takes on our sin and reunites us into communion with family — because the Trinity is a family So it encapsulates everything that our hearts ache for: communion and every single one of us has a deep ache for a love that never ends And because you’re made in the image and likeness of God Flowing from our dignity as beloved sons and daughters of God and from that inherent longing for the things of God for "the Kingdom of Heaven and eternal life" (CCC 1817) is a longing that God intends to fulfill in each of us in the Kingdom of Heaven But it’s all too easy to lose sight of that hope-filled destiny to veer off the “narrow road,” and to lose ourselves in our brokenness “You and I have a lot of impediments from concupiscence but also from our sorrowful mysteries in life,” Sr “We have very profound beliefs that we formed out of our sorrowful mysteries that often frame our whole concept of what it means to be human And Jesus comes with his love and his truth to heal those places and his Truth heals the lies we believe about ourselves And he’s bringing us into the fullness of who we truly are.” The coming of Christ at Christmas — his taking on human flesh and entering into the human condition with all of its messiness — should be a source of great hope for Catholic Christians striving to walk the “narrow road” to salvation Jesus became like us in all things but sin and taught us to be truly human His Incarnation made God accessible to his people in a new we can come to the Father; by coming to the Father “When we speak about healing at the John Paul II Healing Center we talk about a beautiful definition that Dr Bob Schuchts will always give: ‘Healing is an ongoing encounter with God’s love and truth that brings us into wholeness and communion,’” Sr highlighting God’s desire to bring his love and truth to those places of rejection “When we allow those places to be uncovered over time and in all the ways that Jesus does We may have been physically alone in different ways but we’ve never been spiritually alone from the very first moment we were created in our mothers’ wombs.” That intimacy with the Lord is a source of great hope because it shows us that everything doesn’t fall on us; God is Emmanuel “I’m not left to figure this out by myself It’s actually opening my heart to Christ and allowing him to reveal who I truly am and allowing him to bring me more deeply into that wholeness and communion so that I begin to live out my deepest destiny that God has for me which is eternal communion with him forever with all the saints for all eternity,” she said healing and fulfillment might await us in Heaven we are not excused from action today and at every moment Because Jesus became man and united himself to us so powerfully and the fullness of it takes place in Heaven You and I don’t have to spend the rest of our lives — no matter where we are right now — in our coping mechanisms or our most difficult parts That restoration of love and truth begins right now “I think we can have a faulty understanding of that I just don't see Jesus living like that You see him in distress; you see him weeping their hardness of heart or cleansing the temple he’s always experiencing relationship with the Father “We have to be very honest that this is not some sort of Pollyanna kind of worldview or a diminishment of suffering or our sorrowful mysteries,” Sr “It’s actually very honestly encountering these places and encountering Christ and many times choosing to believe what God tells us about himself even though we don’t experience it ourselves choosing to believe that Heaven is our home and that God is faithful to his promises.” As the Church celebrates the coming of Christ as a child and as she kicks off the Jubilee Year of Hope there is no better time to develop the muscle of hope in each of our lives by working to choose it even when circumstances make that choice difficult Who would want to be so closely united to us as Christ We don’t have to conjure up anything; I don’t have to conjure up hope or virtue ‘Open my heart and help me to respond to your divine love Help me to respond to what you’re already doing in my life,” Sr Jesus’ becoming man brings great hope and joy to save you and to bring you into relationship with him — now and for eternity hope-filled Christmas message is that you matter to God "We are so deeply loved — it just makes me cry — we are so deeply loved and so precious to him," Sr and he's not waiting for us to get ourselves together so he can help us That's what happens in Advent: the revelation of the love of a family the love of our little places that he is not afraid of Official Priest

The products will be the first-ever funds tracking futures in Solana, which at a market cap of $66.5 billion is the sixth largest cryptocurrency on the market. The token is up 6% over the past 24 hours, in line with the broader crypto market. The launch of these funds could be significant in the approval of a spot Solana ETF, which would hold the token directly. The SEC has stated in the past that in order to approve a spot product, they would like to see an established futures market for the asset. After the launch of the spot Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) ETFs last year, issuers have been looking to bring further crypto-related products to the market. Several issuers, including Grayscale, Franklin Templeton and VanEck, have filed paperwork to launch a spot Solana ETF, which have yet to be reviewed by the SEC. Bloomberg Intelligence ETF analysts believe there to be a 75% chance for those funds to be approved by the end of this year. However, a decision likely won’t be made before Paul Atkins, who has been nominated by President Donald Trump to serve as chair of the SEC, is confirmed by the Senate. There is currently no hearing scheduled for Atkins.

For years dinner guests at Holly Hill Inn would gesture toward the solo diner seated at his usual two-top and ask sotto voce “Who is that?  Does he come here often?”  To which we always answered: yes As Holly Hill Inn celebrates its 22nd birthday we think it’s time to introduce Roger Solt Chris and Ouita Michel’s business partner from the start.  He’s our very own hidden figure and his longtime friendship with Ouita helped spark her career as a chef and restaurateur.  But first she was a student debater and he was her coach Ohio and earned degrees from Wake Forest University and Bowling Green University “that I was far more interested in coaching debate than I was in Speech Communication as an academic discipline” Roger moved to Lexington in 1980 to coach debate at the University of Kentucky .   1982 in room 145 of the Patterson Office Tower It was the opening session of UK’s pre-school debate workshop and I had heard that Ouita was one of our top prospects.” 1982 was Ouita’s 18th birthday and Roger’s third year of coaching; the team was rebuilding having lost several students to graduation and transfers They had just come off two strong seasons though and reached the semi-finals of the National Debate Tournament in both “Ouita had been a very good debater by local Kentucky standards but she had not had very much national experience.  Her freshman year she started out debating with a somewhat more experienced freshman from the Bronx High School of Science.  He and Ouita rapidly emerged as the best debater on the team.” students and coaches bonded on the road to and from tournaments.  Although as Roger admitted “we were on a very limited budget so fine dining was not really a part of debate travel.  Burgers and pizza were the staples with Mexican and Italian the more ‘upscale’ alternatives.  (Legendary UK  Professor) J.W so when he was traveling with the team that was a frequent stopping place.”  those debate dinners made a lasting impression on Ouita traveling to tournaments kindled a deep interest in me for restaurants We loved going to Chicago so we could indulge in the famous stuffed pizza from Carmen’s or Edwardo’s especially the flaming cheese and chicken with artichokes and our good friend Ross Smith from Wake Forest feasted on Banchan in a fantastic Korean restaurant for the first time.  Roger reflected on her rapid progress.  “Though she started significantly behind many of her contemporaries Ouita improved a great deal over the course of her freshman year and by her sophomore year she and her partner ranked as one of the top sixteen teams in the country.  By her junior year they ranked second winning both the Harvard and the Dartmouth tournaments.  And her senior year they won the National Debate Tournament.” Ouita still remembers the night they won the National Debate Tournament at Dartmouth and how they celebrated afterward with a Twin Lobster Dinner at Legal Seafood “They stayed open just for our team that night: all six or seven of us with the trophy in its own chair in an empty dining room Their generosity has stayed with me ever since We still host the UK debate team for dinner each year as a salute to the many great meals I’ve had with Roger and all of our debate friends over the years.” It was Roger who introduced Ouita to Steve Mancuso who had won outstanding individual debater at the NDT his own senior year.   Ouita described “Wine of the Day” get-togethers hosted by their friend Ross during summers in Ann Arbor teaching at debate camp.  “We tasted a new wine each afternoon – examining its color Never was wine tasting so fun or educational I think these simple afternoon affairs gave rise to our Wine Guild today since Steve Mancuso often joined us for those tastings.” we often stocked our beer cooler based on Roger’s preferences.  Today Roger’s a regular at Wine Guild tasting sessions where he has been “instrumental every step of the way in building its success.”  wine.  A mentorship that turned into a lifelong friendship and partnership.  Roger never stopped following Ouita’s culinary career and when she and Chris had the chance to buy the Holly Hill Inn he eagerly signed on as an investor.  The day they closed the deal went out for a “mammoth lunch” at Arirang Garden In Lexington and it’s still one of their favorite places.  Twenty-plus years and eight more restaurants later Roger says his taste buds have definitely developed.  “Sometimes I think I must be the best-fed person in Kentucky Most of what I know about fine food I owe to Ouita.  And most of what I know about wine comes from Steve and the Wine Guild.  I hope I was able to teach Ouita and Steve as much about debate as they’ve taught me about food and wine.” Ouita confided that Roger is a legend in the debate world – honored as National Coach of the Year and Best College Debate Judge among many other recognitions.  We happen to think he’s a legend in the restaurant world as well.  He’s definitely our champion This is our gourmet take on an old Kentucky favorite — spoonbread In this version we top it with slow cooked lemons This is a great first course in 4-ounce buttered ramekins or

futures ETFs as a major milestone with the potential to improve liquidity and demand for SOL believes that the ETFs could increase Solana’s market position and potentially close the gap with Ethereum's market cap He also highlighted that offering a regulated investment vehicle could attract institutional investors like Bloomberg’s senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas pointing out that the spot Ether ETF has not brought in large inflows and the same could happen with Solana futures ETFs the approval of a Solana spot ETF is viewed as a likely next step sees the increased awareness generated by the futures ETFs as paving the way for a future spot Solana ETF A report from JPMorgan suggests that a spot Solana ETF could bring in between $3 billion to $6 billion in net assets in the first six months possibly outpacing the adoption of Ether ETFs is seen by some analysts as the true indicator of Solana’s growing influence in the crypto space A Solana spot ETF could offer investors direct exposure to SOL without the complexities of futures markets making it an attractive option once it’s available The market could see moderate inflows into the futures ETFs but the real milestone will be the launch of the spot product Solana’s growing status is also bolstered by its inclusion in the U.S This includes Solana alongside other tokens like Cardano and XRP The launch of the futures ETFs marks an important step in the adoption of Solana but the path to a spot ETF could take years as the SEC’s review process for new products typically extends to 2026 while the initial inflows from the futures ETFs may be limited their launch is seen as an important step toward the broader acceptance of Solana in the institutional investment world 1 person liked this articleAyesha AzizI'm a

The request now sits with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, which must approve the filing before trading of the Fidelity Solana Fund can commence on the exchange. This is the latest in a spate of filings with the federal agency by exchanges and fund sponsors seeking to launch ETFs holding SOL and other cryptocurrencies.  On March 12, Cboe filed to list another spot SOL ETF sponsored by asset manager Franklin Templeton. Cboe’s filing comes after asset manager Volatility Shares launched an ETF using financial derivatives known as futures to track the performance of spot SOL.  Launched in March, Volatility Shares Solana ETF (SOLZ) and the Volatility Shares 2X Solana ETF (SOLT) are the first ETFs providing US investors with exposure to Solana's native token. The SOLT ETF tracks SOL’s performance with 2x leverage.  Analysts at Bloomberg Intelligence peg the odds at 70% that US regulators will approve a spot SOL ETF this year, according to a February post on X.  Other asset managers seeking to list spot SOL ETFs include Grayscale, VanEck, 21Shares, Canary and Bitwise, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. On March 17, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), the US’s largest derivatives exchange, launched SOL futures contracts. Experts say this is further indication that spot SOL ETFs will soon be approved in the US. Roughly a dozen asset managers are seeking the SEC’s approval to launch altcoin ETFs in the US. The proposed ETFs for altcoins range from Litecoin (LTC) and XRP (XRP) to Dogecoin (DOGE) and Official Trump (TRUMP). Issuers are also asking the SEC to approve changes to existing ETFs, including allowances for staking, options and in-kind redemptions.  The SEC eased its stance on cryptocurrency after US President Donald Trump began his second term in January.  Under former President Joe Biden, the SEC brought upward of 100 lawsuits against crypto firms, alleging various securities law violations. In 2024, the regulator greenlighted spot Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) ETFs but stymied proposed ETFs tied to other cryptocurrencies.
