Bitcoin ETFs signal another step forward for digital currencies.The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of the author.
History was made recently with the launch of the first ever Bitcoin exchange traded fund (ETF) authorised to begin trading on US exchanges. As the buzz and excitement around this potential (and now verified) approval grew, the price of Bitcoin and other crypto assets closely followed.
Subsequent to the banning – yet again – of Bitcoin and other crypto mining and trading activity in China by the People’s Bank of Chain (PBoC), this rebound has been particularly bullish.
Bitcoin, almost immediately following the launch of this ETF product, hit all-time-highs and continues to drive institutional interest and investment both in the US and internationally.

COP26: Climate finance has to overcome many hurdles to be effective, the UN's eco finance chief says.

By Pascale Davies • Updated: 11/11/2021
Meeting the COP26 pledges to cut greenhouse gas emissions will require a lot of money and support from the private sector.

The United Nations’ climate envoy Mark Carney said last week it would cost $100 trillion (€87 trillion euros) over the next three decades, adding that the finance industry should find ways to raise private money.

"The money is here - but that money needs net zero-aligned projects and (then) there's a way to turn this into a very, very powerful virtuous circle - and that's the challenge," the former Bank of England governor told attendees of the summit in Glasgow.

Germany's new government is pouring 60 billion euros into combatting climate change.
The German government has injected 60 billion euros into fighting the climate crisis.
The investment is part of a new supplementary budget to "supercharge" the country's climate and transformation fund and encourage a shift towards a green economy, say officials.
The budget, passed unanimously by Chancellor Olaf Scholz's cabinet, will channel billions of euros of unused debt in this year's federal budget into future green spending.
The manoeuvre was agreed last month by the centre-left Social Democrats (SPD), pro-spending Greens and fiscally more cautious Free Democrats (FDP) in their coalition deal. It allows the parties to make the most of a temporary, pandemic-related suspension of borrowing limits.

Plus an additional 18 billion euros will go into the country's climate and transformation fund next year.

Green pensions could be the ‘most powerful weapon’ we have to protect the planet.
Switching to a sustainable pension could be 21 times more powerful in the fight against climate change than giving up flying, becoming vegetarian and choosing a renewable energy supplier combined.
According to research from the Make My Money Matter campaign, greening your pension might be the single most effective action an individual can take to reduce their carbon footprint.
For those with an average size pension pot (£30,000 in the UK) transitioning to a sustainable option could save as much as 19 tonnes of carbon a year, the study found. If you have more saved, at least £100,000, a greener pension might cut as much as 64 tonnes of emissions every year - that’s nine years worth of the average UK citizen’s carbon footprint.

Switching to a sustainable pension may be a more effective way of cutting your carbon footprint than not flying.

NatWest is cutting its lending to the oil and gas sector, in a bid to become net zero.
British bank NatWest cut lending to clients in the oil and gas sector by 21 per cent in 2021 and aims to limit it even further as part of efforts to decarbonise its loan book and reach net-zero emissions.
Financial firms around the world are increasingly committing to the net-zero target in the fight against climate change, although most have yet to put firm plans in place, particularly over the shorter-term.
The figures were announced in the first update by NatWest. The bank warned in 2020 that it planned to cut off financing for larger oil and gas companies if they failed to have a credible plan to transition to net-zero.
West said its lending to oil and gas companies fell a fifth to £3.25 billion (€3.9 billion) last year, and total lending to the sector now makes up just 0.7 per cent of its loan book.

'We bought an island': How investors took over a plot in the Caribbean to create a micronation.
Coffee Caye is a slender island in the Caribbean, half-covered in mangroves, fringed by coconut trees and cooled by an ocean breeze.
It’s exactly what its new owners had in mind, says Marshall Mayer, co-founder of 2018 crowdfunding campaign, Let’s Buy an Island. Mayer and Gareth Johnson did just that, with more than 100 investors (and counting) having paid for a slice of the half hectare plot, each purchasing a stake in the “micronation.”
The core investors list Robinson Crusoe, Lord of the Flies and Pl***oy among their reading interests on the project website. They described their goal as a tropical paradise, no matter how small.
And the island they ended up buying happens to be 15 minutes off the coast of Belize, a Caribbean country that only got its independence back from the UK in 1981, nearly 500 years after Christopher Columbus first sailed past.

Don't be a fossil fool’ says ethical bank in green investment campaign.
Nearly two thirds of Brits don’t want banks to fund fossil fuel companies, preferring to opt for green investment instead, a survey by ethical bank Triodos has found.

The self-proclaimed “leading ethical bank” in Europe is calling for customers to be more aware of where their money is going when they invest in a savings account. Founded in 1980 in the Netherlands, it has been in the UK for 25 years and aims to “democratise” the banking sphere. In response to the climate crisis, Triodos has launched a campaign called ‘Don’t be a fossil fool’ to raise awareness of the issue.
The results show six in ten of those surveyed acknowledge fossil fuels are damaging the planet, yet two thirds have no idea if their money is supporting fossil fuel production. UK customers could be unknowingly investing in the region of £16 billion in fossil fuels through their ISAs, says Triodos.
What’s more, “during a period of economic uncertainty, savers may well be rethinking how they invest and want to know whether they are banking with a brand that is giving back to the community,” states Rachel Springall, a Finance Expert at Moneyfacts.co.uk.
e ‘Don’t be a fossil fool’ campaign seeks to shine a light on the “chronic lack of transparency” in the sector, in regards to whether banks are investing in climate-damaging fuels, such as oil, gas or coal.

Bitcoin price hits a new all-time high of over $66,000 as investors get excited over ETF
A historic day for the world’s biggest cryptocurrency as the price of Bitcoin soared to a new high of more than $66,000 (€56,669) on Wednesday, after the launch of the first Bitcoin exchange-traded fund.
The cryptocurrency, which traded for less than a dollar 12 years ago (€0,85), peaked during the session at $66,273 at around 14:00 GMT (16:00 CEST in). This is an increase of more than 50 per cent compared to over a month ago, and more than 450 per cent over compared to a year ago.
Bitcoin has been benefiting for the past month from the launch of the first exchange-traded fund (ETF) linked to its price on the New York Stock Exchange, which began trading on Tuesday. Investors are hoping that new funds will be able to enter the cryptocurrency market using this new regulated financial product.
