alix: behind the commodities with the smartest voices in the business. a look at the top market stories of the week. this was a total shocker. oil supplies over pushing. jp morgan said in a note that we are very close to bottom and that could lead to record highs in wti spread and super backwardation. a big part of all of that will be about the weather. our signs in europe it could warm a touch. temperatures in southwest europe , above through the end of

november. the white line is what you have to pay attention to which is the temperature which put pressure on natural gas and power. also trying to put the lid on high coal prices. they are looking for ways to intervene in the market. production raising to 12 lien tons a day and give the fuel priority deliveries over railroads and will have zero tolerance for collusion in the market. -- copper versus copper inventories. you had historic squeeze at the lme. stocks fell to the lowest, below 20,000 tons, what china consumes in terms of factories in one day. but a very intense reaction. we want to bring in jack who

covers this for us. what happened? jack: it is one of the most extreme moves we have had in the copper market in a long time. training at the highest on record. it was training well above. what has happened is copper is in short supply all over the world and cover is not an exception and add to that the fact that traders have removed stock from the metal warehouses. we reported early this week that a significant portion of that was done and left the lme with all stock. some he deliver the copper.

there is very left in the lme warehouses. alix: is this going to keep happening? you have the arbitrage that plays out. are we going to keep seeing this crazy backward spread in low inventory? i think at the moment you have a vacillating spread. i thought you'd see that come into lme warehouses and that will take time. what has to happen is where in an interesting tug-of-war between a supply situation where stocks are low and a demand situation where people are looking at what is happening in global energy markets and in the chinese sector and saying the future of demand does not look so great in the short to medium-term. it will be a question of time as to where it demand rolls over as to when it will loosen up.

alix: thank you. jack farchy joining us from bloomberg. today we talked to michael mcguire, and one of the biggest winners of the crypto boom might be digital asset exchanges. there are 414 exchanges with the market cap of $1.8 trillion. the top 10 exchange as much as $33 billion on any given day. most of the top 10 are based in asia, like finance, the biggest exchange which handles $18 million in volume. a transformative moment for the u.s. when coinbase hit $100 billion before falling in the trading debut. it got the attention of wall street titans and big banks and was billed as a shift in legitimate see. china's ban on crypto and mining

and gary gensler called the industry "the wild west." it wants rules and regulations and wants to create new products to trade. you can buy and sell crypto on a platform. you could also trade tokens backed by physical commodities, gold, silver, platinum, nickel, cobalt, and copper. they hope that investors will trade. the platform is scheduled to go live by october or november. i sat down with the ceo and asked how he hoped to grow volume and liquidity. michael: we built our blockchain that is created and maintained by ibm. the difference is we are not centralized we rely on third-party validator's validating transactions so we know that you sold at one price and i bought at that same rice.

each token can be embedded with metadata where you can understand the material. alix: is a professional institutional trader. michael: we are focusing on accredited investors because they can understand the risk and the volatility. but ultimately we would like to democratize this and make it available to the retail user. alix: talking about the regulatory relationship, a lot of the exchanges are not in the u.s.. coinbase is the big one but what is your relationship? how do you want to be regulated? eckel: we want to be regulated. we were thinking -- michael: when we wanted to be regulated, we decided we wanted to be in the u.s. for the regulations because sophisticated investors feel comfort there is relation. alix: how is that going?

michael: it is a very long and expensive process and is not very streamlined. we work with 50 different state legislators and federal regulators and all of them wants a lot of attention. we spent a lot of time talking to regulators producing documents and it is part of the process and getting through that process and being on the other side creates a barrier to entry for other players. alix: you have the tokenized commodities of precious metals. what other metals have you expanded? michael: we are looking at eight to 10 metals important in the decarbonization in the economy. they play big role in production of electric vehicles, solar panels, and wind turbines. our view is as the economy decarbonizing and there is more

production of these nickels, the products underlying commodities will be in more demand. alix: meaning it will help with liquidity and volume and volatility which would be good in getting people on the exchange and moving stuff around? michael: i think it will create more liquidity because we are bringing new market participants in. many are hard for credit investors to trade. if you wanted to trade cobalt, how would you do it? we are making it a little more assessable. you get more liquidity and stability of prices and it helps manufacturers as well. alix: do you have to have a boatload of cobalt in a warehouse or worry about it when something is redeemed? michael: every token traded on the exchange is backed by the requisite amount of underlying serial. if is cobalt, it is backed by one metric tone of cobalt. alix: would you ever do

derivatives? michael: that is probably two or three steps down the road. we are looking at listing securities and broker atf's. alix: do you have an idea of how many people you need trading and the volume to kind of say, nailed it? michael: we get to an average daily volume of 5 million we would be happy. it is a question of how many people do we need to do that. alix: that was might interview with michael mcguire symbridge owner and ceo. skyrocketing places sending chills to the haunted house industry, causing a lot of moaning and groaning. since 2015, the cost of wood has been $360 for a thousand board. it is 600 and $25.

alix: -- matt: welcome to

bloomberg markets. we are going to speak to valkyrie investments ceo leah wald ahead of their launch of the second bitcoin in the u.s. and then to the ceo of volvo cars, on the first vehicle using fossil fuel free created steel. and the ceo of vita coco joins us to discuss the public trading debut. taking a look at what is happening in the markets, nothing on the s&p 500. although it should be said that they did look like the s&p would follow european markets and has been bouncing back and forth between gains and losses, showing resilience. one of the main reasons is the big gains in tesla and adding 3% to an already 800 billion

dollars stock makes a big difference. it is the biggest lift on the s&p 500. the biggest drag is paypal, down 4.9% on concerns about its attempts or reported attempts to buy pinterest, a 45 dealt -- $45 billion acquisition, a big deal and shows are selling off. something else that caught my eye is about bitcoin. the pro-share bitcoin strategy etf is falling today, but it sure has addressed the pent demand for the first bitcoin atf. it topped more than a billion dollars in today's according to bloomberg intelligent -- intelligence, the quickest one to reach a billion dollars and the second one will trade

tomorrow. joining us from washington is leah wald , ceo of valkyrie. let me ask you about the demand. it looks like there is no end in sight for demand. how many etf products do you think this market can handle? leah: thank you for having me. it is definitely an exciting time. the market can handle a lot of different issuing products and we welcome the competition. we are coming in second to market but we are very excited and we wish our competition look and it is a pleasure to be here. >> why bite and etf for futures

when you can buy bitcoin trust trading at a discount? >> that is very good and addresses quite a few concerns that people have. there is the legacy product and how is the etf structure better and why is a future space etf better than physically backed. would you plan on rolling into the next one as efficiently as possible and would you believe our team gives us an edge over other offerings and why own -- choose this fund when it is easy enough. futures, more efficient price

discovery. lastly, there is no need to worry about risk around security. nasdaq treated etf. matt: one concern i have is looking at others and it is not unlikely that you see a 20% gain in oil and just standing still at the end of the year. they may match well day today but when you look over longer periods of time, there is gripped have you manage that? leah: and that is definitely an interesting point and something we have been asked a lot recently. i do think the market is large enough in order to handle the volume. i think our team is absolutely packed with experts in the industry and we are not concerned for that issue. >> what about the future? to your point, why get a future

etf when you can buy the physical itself? how far are we to getting to etf's more linked to actual bitcoin as well as other forms of could do currencies? leah: very good question i have never been asked about other forms. but to the point of a spot bitcoin atf, it is the holy grail and a lot of people do believe it but unfortunately it appears to be far off and not likely to be approved this year. given that reality, we are excited and focused on the future etf's offered at this time. to your point about the other coins, we have longer time to wait. matt: in terms of a physical bitcoin etf, do you see that coming anytime soon? we have it in other countries,

particularly for u.s. north in canada. we'll usc that anytime soon? -- will the u.s. see that anytime soon? leah: we believe next year may be a good time for that to happen we do not believe it will be approved this year. >> we noted before you came on that the other etf, shares down, trading half the volume that it was yesterday. what do you see going into tomorrow? leah: i think that is a great question and incredible trading in the first two days and we are excited about tomorrow because we think we are quite different from proshares. other asset managers are in the etf business, but we are embedded in the crypto market. investors can choose whether they want subject matter expertise to pivot as needed or

they can go with the monolith that cares more about launching the next fun in this -- fund in this asset class that we are new to. the market will choose but there is plenty of demand to be had and everybody is looking and determining not only who is the right fit but who they morally align with. matt: on that say that you are a serial entrepreneur? do you start up businesses and then move on after a year or two or three? how long do you plan on staying with this? leah: i wouldn't, so a serial entrepreneur. i was involved with the founding of a company that connects unemployed veterans and mentors. but i have been in this visit and valkyrie is my future in my team is my family and i don't plan on going anywhere. >> still focusing on tomorrow

because this is a landmark time for bitcoin, as well as the etf industry, who is buying? is this mostly institutions or mostly day traders? leah: i think that is a great question and in the weeks to come as we are able to analyze the data of the first few days of proshares and ours and others to follow, i think there is a lot smart money that moved in first. retail is also there. i think that is a great question we are keeping our eye on. matt: thanks so much for joining us. great to get some time with you. leah wald is the ceo of valkyrie that will be launching. our stop of the hour is next. -- our stock of the hour is

it is autonomous, no cab, no driver. amanda: and it will go along way towards helping some of the biggest emitters and companies get to their emission numbers. how close are you to mass productions and volumes where this will be into the market? lars: this is the collaboration with our partner. they are making it could to everyone that we are working hard when it comes to the vehicles in use and emissions. if we are serious about carbon neutral, then we need to address the manufacturing footprint of our vehicles. that is what we are doing now and considering that 70%, this

is the area to attack first. this is very early days. we are the first takers of the early production and proud to be able to start, and more volume over the next year. matt: i am wondering how much more expensive it is and how much time it is going to take to get the price down to a point where you can use it for all of your vehicles. lars: as with all new technologies, there will be a difference in price, but over time when we see the volumes coming, the difference will be balanced out.

in the long run, the market will go for it and it will be a competition for all of those in the industry. amanda: can we be more specific or ballpark what long run means? what are we looking at for having this be available in the market? lars: low volumes and we will increase over the next year. it will be a gradual increase. it will be about supply versus demand. the demand is there and it will be out of the steel manufacturing industry across the world. matt: are we going to see other companies? daimler is flirting with this as well. used to work at volkswagen and are familiar with the industry.

is everyone going to start picking this up soon? lars: it is obvious that every company that is series about carbon neutral must take emissions out of the vehicle. i don't see any other options for any manufacturer. matt: great again. lars stenqvist, the chief technology officer at ab volvo, on the forefront of automotive technology for construction, earthmoving, and trucking industries. wall street profits are surging. bonuses are set to follow. the new york state comptroller said in a report that the
