Hedera pumps and dips in BlackRock confusion, Hong Kong BTC/ETH ETFs to begin trading

Crypto ETFs are back in the news as Hong Kong approves spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs to start trading on April 30. On the other hand, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF saw zero inflows for the first time since it launched. Elsewhere, the wild OneCoin story continues to unfold, Nigeria’s central bank has to deny a heavy-handed directive, and Hedera’s token pumps and then dips as an announcement about BlackRock is misinterpreted, with drama ensuing.
