Cboe Global Markets has pulled its application for a bitcoin ETF because of the government shutdown. The withdrawal comes as the SEC was set to issue a decision, but would likely have had to delay, once again, as many of its employees are currently furloughed. Cboe said it would resubmit the filing at a later date. By resubmitting the application, Cboe would restart the clock for the SEC to review the application, but it would avoid the potential regulatory and legal hassles that would occur if the government remained furloughed through the legally mandated deadline the agency had to rule on the first proposal. –BLOOMBERG       2. A new report argues that XRP's market capitalization is billions less than what has been reported. Messari, a crypto data startup, said XRP's circulating supply is pegged at roughly 41 billion tokens. However, the firm argues that 19.2 billion of those coins "may be illiquid or subject to significant selling restrictions." In addition, Ripple, the company that created XRP, has pledged an addition 5.9 billion coins to co-founders that have not yet been delivered. All told, these factors mean XRP's market cap is overstarted by more than $6 billion, according to Messari's reasoning. –COINDESK       Ad How is AI changing the way professionals work across industries?

JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon predicted bitcoin's downfall but he has refused to take a victory lap. When asked if he took any satisfaction in bitcoin's dramatic price drop in the past year, Dimon said he "didn't take any." Dimon's comments came at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. He did add that JP Morgan has used bitcoin's underlying technology blockchain. "Blockchain is a real technology — it's just a database we can all access that's kept up-to-date," he said. –CNBC       Throwback Thursday In September of 2017, Dimon called bitcoin "a fraud" and threatened to fire any of his employees that traded in the cryptocurrency. His comments came just as the price of bitcoin was taking off, making him enemy numero uno in the cryptocurrency community for a few weeks. Since then, Dimon has praised the blockchain, while bashing the cryptocurrency, although at times he has taken a more defeatist attitude. At one point he simply said he "didn't give a s***" about cryptocurrency. It seems since his made his famous comment, his biggest issue with cryptocurrency is people keep asking him about it when he would rather talk about other things.
