## Crypto Daily Digest: Goldman Sachs plans to launch three tokenized funds; The Ministry of Energy has begun drafting a new Bitcoin miner survey; Starknet staking Plan goes live on the mainnet in Q4
First, let's examine the trading activity of <a href="/th/price/bitcoin-btc" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Bitcoin</a> ETFs. According to Farside Investor data, on July 10, Grayscale Bitcoin spot ETFs (GBTC) had a fund outflow of $8.2 million. Meanwhile, Fidelity Bitcoin spot ETF (FBTC) had an inflow of $57.8 million, Bitwise Bitcoin spot ETF (BITB) had an inflow of $4.7 million, and ARK 21Shares Bitcoin spot ETF (ARKB) had an inflow of $11.3 million.

**Goldman Sachs plans to launch three tokenized funds**

Goldman Sachs plans to launch three tokenization projects by the end of this year to enter the crypto industry. According to Fortune magazine, Matthew McDermott, Global Head of Digital Assets at Goldman Sachs, said that one of these funds will target the US fund industry, the other will focus on the European debt market, and the third plan is to create a tokenized asset market.

Compared to competitors such as BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and Fidelity, Goldman Sachs chose to primarily use licensed networks rather than fully decentralized blockchain, mainly due to regulatory concerns. Goldman Sachs began collaborating with licensed blockchain networks as early as 2021 and launched crypto derivatives trading products settled in cash.

BlackRock CEO believes that tokenization is the "next generation" of the market, and the company's blockchain driven financial product BUIDL has recently had a market value of over $500 million. Franklin Templeton has launched revenue based on blockchain funds and related BENJI tokens on <a href="/th/price/stellar-xlm" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Stellar</a> and <a href="/th/price/polygon-matic" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Polygon</a>, while Fidelity International has tokenized stocks in money market funds.

McDermott has long been an advocate for digital transformation, especially blockchain. He helped establish Goldman Sachs' digital asset division in 2021 and led efforts to launch cash settled crypto derivative trading products. However, Sharmin Mossavar Rahmani, Chief Investment Officer of Goldman Sachs Wealth Management, stated in an interview with The Wall Street Journal in April that she did not see any demand from clients for cryptocurrency.

**The Ministry of Energy has begun drafting a new Bitcoin miner survey**

After being sued in a Texas court for attempting to obtain "urgent data collection requests," the US Department of Energy has renewed its efforts to conduct an investigation aimed at obtaining information related to the use of crypto mining energy in the US workload proof. The Energy Information Agency (EIA), the statistical department of the Ministry of Energy, held its first public discussion on Wednesday, hoping to design a better survey plan.

Steve Harvey of EIA pointed out at the discussion that EIA hopes to address three key issues before designing new surveys: first, which specific factors are most important in the energy use of PoW crypto mining, as perceived by industry participants or bystanders; Secondly, what data should the institution collect; Thirdly, is there any existing information that can replace surveys or reduce costs. Harvey also pointed out that during the first recall investigation, the EIA, after developing a "rough" preliminary estimate, found that crypto mining accounted for 0.6% to 2.3% of the total energy consumption in the United States.

After completion, the new investigation needs to be approved by the Department of Energy and will be entered into the Federal Register, initiating a 60 day public review period. Afterwards, EIA will include comments, resubmit survey results, and provide an additional 30 days for public review.

Most people believe that the EIA survey is an attack on the crypto industry, but there are also some industry insiders who support the EIA survey and are concerned about the impact of cryptocurrencies on the environment. Lee Blacher, Chairman of the Texas Blockchain Committee, suggested that EIA should design a more comprehensive investigation, taking into account the rise of energy intensive industries such as artificial intelligence and cloud computing. Some people, including former Energy Department official Tom Mepps, have pointed out that Bitcoin mining may help stimulate the development of renewable energy and reach "load balancing" agreements with utility providers.

**Starknet Token staking Program will be launched on the mainnet in the fourth quarter of 2024**

Starknet is expected to introduce native token staking functionality in the fourth quarter of 2024. Core developer StarkWare has submitted the Starknet Improved Protocol (SNIP) to implement network staking. The SNIP proposal mentions the StarkWare Phase 1 staking plan, which is an important step in establishing a staking community and technology, providing new opportunities for users and developers. The first phase of the staking plan will adopt a permissionless on-chain staking protocol and staking delegation.

If the proposal is approved, users will be able to entrust it to the stakers or become the stakers, and the reward will be proportional to the staked amount, based on the changes in the proposed coin-minting curve released in February. Before withdrawing funds, there will be a 21 day lock-in period.
