Two members who are friendly to the cryptocurrency industry, Hester Pierce and Mark Uyeda, voted in favor of the ETF while Caroline Crenshaw and Jaime Lizárraga voted against it.

He further added, "Investment round competition is very fierce, especially at the early stages. What's more complex is that valuations for early deals are higher than later ones... We will observe whether this trend continues over the next few quarters." In addition, he predicts that as the market matures, there will be an increase in mergers within the crypto industry later this year, particularly among cryptocurrency exchanges, custodians and infrastructure providers.
