The New York Stock Exchange Announces Collaboration with CoinDesk Indices to Launch Financial Products Tracking Spot Bitcoin Prices

Published

on

New York, US, 31st May 2024, ZEX PR WIRE, The New York Stock Exchange, part of Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE: ICE), a leading global provider of technology and data, today announced it is collaborating with CoinDesk Indices to launch cash-settled index options tracking the CoinDesk Bitcoin Price Index (XBX), the longest-operating spot bitcoin index.

ICE and the NYSE intend to work with CoinDesk Indices and the relevant regulatory agencies to develop specific product offerings. Last year, ICE Futures Singapore collaborated with CoinDesk Indices to update its bitcoin futures contracts, CoinDesk Bitcoin Futures (BMC), to utilize XBX for its monthly contract settlement.

Currently the benchmark for $20 billion in ETF assets under management, XBX tracks the spot price of bitcoin, denominated in U.S. dollars, in real time across multiple crypto exchanges. XBX is calculated and published once per second, 24 hours per day, 365 days each year.

“As traditional institutions and everyday investors are demonstrating their wide-ranging enthusiasm for the recent approval of spot bitcoin ETFs, the New York Stock Exchange is excited to announce its collaboration with CoinDesk Indices,” said Jon Herrick, Chief Product Officer, New York Stock Exchange. “Upon regulatory approval, these options contracts will offer investors access to an important liquid and transparent risk-management tool.”

“XBX has delivered a trusted price of bitcoin to millions of investors, market participants, and bitcoin enthusiasts since 2014,” said Andy Baehr, Head of Product, CoinDesk Indices. “Collaborating with the NYSE to launch XBX index options opens a new chapter in digital assets, placing important and familiar risk-management tools in the hands of U.S. and global investors.”

The collaboration continues the relationship between two trusted organizations with unparalleled expertise in offering investor access and choice. CoinDesk Indices, a subsidiary of Bullish, produces indices that support some of the world’s largest digital asset products. Its flagship indices, such as XBX and the CoinDesk 20 Index, set the industry standard for measuring, trading and investing in digital assets. The NYSE, with 232 years of advances in trading technology, ranks as the world’s largest stock exchange, with a market capitalization of about $39 trillion.

NYSE President Lynn Martin and Tom Farley, CEO of Bullish, the parent of CoinDesk Indices, will be speaking together later today at the Consensus 2024 conference in Austin, Texas on a panel about the convergence of crypto and traditional finance.

Press Release

Champ, America’s Loch Ness Monster ‘spotted’ in drone footage from filmmakers

Published

on

Champ, is that you?

Since the 1600’s, tales of a mysterious sea serpent named Champ, named after explorer Samuel de Champlain, have been part of the folklore of the Lake Champlain region. The lake borders New York and Vermont. Champlain and the Abenaki tribe were the first sightings of Champ in the historical record.

Champ remained elusive. The only notable visual evidence was a photo taken in 1977 by Sandra Mansi.

Until now.  For the first time in history, a video that allegedly captures the legendary lake monster on film is being hailed as the “most notable visual evidence” of Champ. Some compare it’s impact to the Patterson-Gimlin film impact on the Bigfoot cryptozoology community.

Independent filmmakers Kelly Tabor and Richard Rossi were shooting a fictional film ‘Lucy and the Lake Monster’ about a 9-year-old girl and her grandfather looking for Champ, a legendary lake monster rumored to live and lurk in the murky waters of Lake Champlain.  The film is based on their bestselling book of the same title.

As part of their shoot, their cameraman sent a drone above the lake in Bulwagga Bay, and what they saw in post-production stunned them.

They posted ten seconds of what is now known as the Tabor-Rossi footage on YouTube and 36,000 views later, it has provoked discussion and debate about what appears to some to be a plesiosaur swimming below the lake’s surface, behind a boat containing the two lead actors in their film, Emma Pearson and Richard Rossi.  The footage of the plesiosaur can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dkpzfqlt3PI.

(Plesiosaurs are a sea creature from the dinosaur-dominated Mesozoic era.)

Tabor and Rossi’s recent interview on the Cryptid Creature podcast was posted on Spotify. The duo submitted their footage and story for assessment by the two hosts, Todd Stevens and Brian Brock.  Stevens eloquently summed up his conclusion, affirming the veracity of the footage.

“The creature is bigger than the boat, fifty yards behind the boat, Stevens said.  “It has a plesiosaur body. It is not sturgeon, or multiple sturgeon. It is one large body moving.” The entire Cryptid Creatures interview with Tabor and Rossi can be heard here: https://play.cdnstream1.com/s/streamkastplus/cryptid-creatures/the-lake-champlain-monst-5a5bbe

Tabor first spotted the creature in the footage, editing on her large screen T.V.  “It’s poetic that Kelly saw it first,” Rossi said. “She has been looking for Champ for over fifty years.” Tabor grew up in a cabin on Lake Champlain in Crown Point, New York.

“We inadvertently caught this on camera,” Tabor said. “We weren’t trying to.”

If Kelly Tabor is the true believer of the screenwriting team, her writing partner Richard Rossi is the Doubting Thomas, insisting on the footage being evaluated by scientists with a doctorate in science and to prepare a report for peer review in 2025.

“I’m the more skeptical one compared to Kelly,” Rossi said.  “But there’s definitely something there.”

The filmmaking crew was so busy filming the movie, they didn’t catch the anomaly in the footage until later, in the post-production editing stage.

Multiple versions of their footage are now on Pinterest and YouTube as cryptozoologists use their tech savvy to zoom in on the Champ image, and use coloring to do morphological enhancements and evaluations.  

The Tabor-Rossi Champ footage is incorporated into their fictional film, ‘Lucy and the Lake Monster,’ at about the four-minute mark of the film. The movie has screened in theaters in New York, New Jersey, Vermont, Pennsylvania, California, and South Carolina.  This month, it won 12 awards in film festivals.  It will be released on DVD and streaming next year.

“As filmmakers, our primary focus is on the art form itself.  We don’t respond too much to the debate around the footage,” Rossi said. “We try to focus on doing the best job we can in our screenwriting, acting, cinematography, and music.  It’s nice that Champ has blessed us with the benefits of headlines that let people know about our book and the film, but at the end of the day, our focus is on showing the film and writing the next sequel. Champ has been a great publicist.”

“Champ is also one of the biggest stars in our new film,” Tabor added.
