They'll ban you if you ask any questions about link pool/Johnny Huxtable and any other unsavory characters they work with. Bancor and Celsius are other examples of teams they've saddled up with that are proven untrustworthy imo. They'll deny the "official" affiliation, but the numerous talks and promotional events they've had with them say otherwise. That's why I stick with linkpool LPL rug pull as the best example.
RIA rule isn’t true, seems like he got incorrect info from twitter. I’ve seen several ppl say this who have no insight into the fund industry. Platform availability is the key item. Wirehouses like UBS, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, Merrill Lynch are biggest 4 platforms. Each require due diligence before allowing on platform (if they ever do). Sometimes that timeframe is 3 years long minimum before allowing product. Once they add to the platform all their advisors can purchase for clients, they can’t buy for clients before then. There are many other tier 2 platforms like LPL, Edward jones, Pershing etc.. probably 50-100 main ones that advisors and other institutional investors use. Each with their own restrictions and each allowed to waive for initial restrictions if they wanted. Or in vanguards case they don’t plan to waive them
OP is probably referencing LPL's policy ($1.5T in AUM) https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-02-03/lpl-s-1-4-trillion-gatekeeper-avoids-bitcoin-etf-hype-for-now?embedded-checkout=true
I just had my yearly phone call with my money guy at LPL to discuss the usual stuff, when he asks me "So are you still holding onto Crypto?". We get to talking and he goes on to tell me that he sees the BTC options available to trade but LPL has yet to allow him to buy it yet. I'm wondering if this is the case for other large financial services companies? If so - when they do start allowing their agents to buy and sell shares of crypto stocks I think will see another huge boost in the price.
Yeah, Charles Schwabb and at least one more are planning on entering the Spot Bitcoin ETF space too..I know LPL has been in the same camp as Vanguard about allowing customers to invest in the ETFs. However, LPL they said they wanted to see how the asset performs in the 3 months as a due diligence measure. Which I think is totally fair for a "high risk, speculative asset".
You're right, there are some providers, Vanguard and LPL to name two, whom do not allow the buying of risky speculative assets such as the Spot Bitcoin ETFs. My advice in this case would be transfer to another 401k provider who does allow the purchase of these funds. If the rules of the 401k are that they have to be the same as the employer (for matching reasons) then transfer what's there now, and keep the existing one so that contributions can continue to be be made.
TLDR; Gary Gensler's successful approval of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) marks the initial step toward mainstream crypto investing. Now, individuals like Rob Pateman at LPL Financial, overseeing trillions of dollars in capital, must be convinced of the new spot-Bitcoin ETFs' suitability for their extensive trading platforms. LPL, managing $1.4 trillion in assets, emphasizes a cautious evaluation over the next three months to determine which funds will be offered to clients. Pateman is concerned about potential closures of ETFs with insufficient assets, emphasizing the need for sustainable and sound investment principles. Many platforms, like Fidelity and Charles Schwab, already offer crypto funds, while Vanguard has no plans for a Bitcoin ETF. Evaluations include Grayscale's GBTC ETF, with others like BlackRock's IBIT and Fidelity's FBTC under consideration. The fear of fund closures, particularly in the crypto-themed category, looms as a potential challenge. The spotlight is on the varying success of new spot-Bitcoin ETFs, ranging from BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust with $3 billion in assets to the WisdomTree Bitcoin Fund with under $12 million. The market's maturity and the ability of these funds to attract assets and trade effectively will determine their long-term viability. Pateman emphasizes that time will reveal the investment thesis behind these ETFs, emphasizing the need for a prudent approach.
Stake link is run by a serial scammer who rebranded. Look up what happened to the LPL token. Honestly there are people who chose not to stake because of the lockup period. It's not the greatest way to cope but you have some freedom to trade or sell at least.
Nah, LPL isn't that big on attacking electronic locks at the application level. He'd probably open it by dropping it in such a way that the solenoid moves on impact and the door opens.
Thumbnails like that makes me hear LPL in my head: *One is set, two is binding...*
Can someone ELI5 what’s going on with $Link and $LPL?
Good. Hopefully it gets flipped by LPL and falls out of the top 6507 soon.
Sunday brings the Super Bowl, which has been transformed from a football game to a kind of secular Fat Tuesday: a celebration involving most of the Seven Deadly Sins in an attempt to stave off SAD (seasonal affective disorder) for the six dreary weeks of winter that inevitably remain in northern climes. Lots of parties, featuring gluttony for the food and drink consumed, and greed for the millions bet on the contest. The Big Game provides as silly an indicator for the stock market as the groundhog does for the weather: Bulls supposedly fare better in the coming year if an NFC team wins, and vice versa. The indicator, which for a time really did seem prescient, has broken down in recent years, with the S&P 500 index posting gains for 10 of the past 11 AFC victors, according to Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at LPL Financial. A better indicator was when Tom Brady was in the big game, he adds. His record seven victories were followed by good years for stocks, while the three he lost heralded lousy ones. Of course, the Brady indicator has been retired, along with the GOAT. Given that the Super Bowl is as much a social event as a sporting one, it has become the biggest day of the year for advertising. In a world of dispersed viewing of on-demand streams, the game is a throwback to when everybody gathered around to watch a single program. And lots of folks focus on the commercials as much, if not more, than the game itself. Which advertisers pay up millions to capture all those eyeballs for a mere 30 seconds is telling. Of course, purveyors of beer and salty snacks (to go with the suds) are mainstays. But what other outfits elbow their way in can have market implications. That insight comes from Doug Kass, the head of Seabreeze Partners, who offered it to our predecessor, Alan Abelson, in this very space back in 2000: The more businesses in any sector advertise on the big broadcast, the more likely the group’s stocks will fare poorly in the year ahead. Back then, the proliferation of spots bought by internet-related companies caught their coming crash. The coup de grâce would be inflicted a few weeks later, when Barron’s detailed the furious rate at which these dot-coms were burning through the cash that the irrationally exuberant stock market had provided them. Fast-forward to 2021, when Kass noted that food and beverage commercials were even more numerous than usual, ostensibly to take advantage of all the people stuck at home because of the pandemic, with little to do but snack and quaff a few. With Bud Light having more commercials than any other advertiser, shares of its brewer, Anheuser-Busch InBev (ticker: BUD), fell 14.30% last year, by his tally. Hellman’s mayonnaise, produced by Unilever (UL), was another prominent advertiser, and Unilever fell 12.02%. Kellogg (K) flogged its Pringles chips last year and gained 3.90%, badly trailing the S&P 500’s . Moreover, last year’s first-time advertising by online broker Robinhood Markets (HOOD) came just ahead of meme-stock mania’s peak. According to data tracked by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, J.P. Morgan’s head of global quantitative and derivatives strategy, the share of retail trading through brokers such as Robinhood had fallen to 14.1% of the total by December, the lowest level since the pandemic began. Robinhood’s own shares are now down 83.9% from their peak early last year. This year, the usual crew—auto manufacturers, food and brew makers, travel websites—are back. And as The Wall Street Journal noted this past week, cryptocurrency outfits will be ponying upward of $7 million for each ad, to grab the attention of viewers during the innumerable breaks in the action between the L.A. Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals. That includes trading platform FTX, which will be giving away millions of dollars in Bitcoin during the Super Bowl, as part of its sports strategy, which includes an ad with the now-retired Brady, a sponsorship with Major League Baseball, and a deal affixing its name to the arena of the NBA’s Miami Heat. FTX will be joined by Crypto.com, which similarly paid $700 million to put its moniker on the former Staples Center, where the L.A. Lakers play, and is being touted in commercials featuring actor Matt Damon, who intones how “fortune favors the brave.” The burgeoning partnership of cryptocurrency and sports is reaching fever pitch, Kass writes in an email. Given the precedent of collapsing dot-coms in 2000, the message to him is clear: Short crypto. Of course, the internet didn’t disappear when the dot-com stocks crashed at the turn of the century. It has become integral to our business and personal lives to an extent few could have envisioned. But many of online pioneers didn’t survive once the bull market’s financing tap was turned off. So enjoy the game, along with the chips, wings, and beer. But if you’re inclined to play along in crypto, at least be aware of the precedents of speculative fads.
100% LINK and LPL and you can't tell me otherwise
https://lplresearch.com/2021/04/21/what-happens-after-the-first-rate-hike/ LPL did a good job of explaining this back in April. I think there’s a more up to date version floating around. In short, I actually know where to look and don’t blindly parrot stupid shit I hear in a Crypto sub.
lol what? /r/cc is so under-educated on link, man this hurts to read. [https://market.link/metrics](https://market.link/metrics) shows that - over the past 90 days, 1,700,000 Link tokens have been paid to node operators in exchange for calls/data. that's about $34,000,000 in revenue to node operators (assuming $20 link). Scaled out to a year, that means scs are paying node operators over \~$137,700,000 worth of Chainlink tokens for various sc automation jobs + price feeds. Keep in mind, DeFi is still in its early/nascent stages (no enterprise adoption, even though the product is clearly better than whatever legacy system they've got). Token VERY needed - honestly the most important project since Eth (CCIP will melt minds lmao) - the lack of education on this sub re: Link has consistently been the biggest buy signal in the entire world. (Just coming from a \~2011-2012 BTC OG). and, iirc, [market.link](https://market.link) is kinda messed up and isn't showing metrics/rewards from other high-volume, high (link) cost jobs on the network (e.g. keepers, etc) - [market.link](https://market.link) data mostly only displays how much link is needed on L1 eth defi lmao. any LPL diehard will tell you \*something\* is up right now, we used to get sub-1% APY - and now we're printing >3% APY. I mean, more cheapies for me. The frogs were right on this one.
tldr; The so-called 'Santa Claus rally' tends to materialise in the US stock market in the final week of December and the first two trading sessions of the new year. The seasonal stretch for markets known popularly as the Santa Claus rally is one of the strongest in the year, with an average return over the seven-sesson period of 1.33%. The markets tend to book a gain on 78.9% of the time, according to LPL Financial. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.*
Surprised people in this sub are even talking about link tbh. guess /biz/ gave up on the FUD campaign because even they’re exhausted by the price action. Iykyk, link + LPL comfiest 5-10 year holds ever
