Grayscale to Apply for Bitcoin ETF: What You Need to Know
Are you looking for information on the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF (GBTC) and its potential conversion into a spot Bitcoin ETF? Recent developments indicate significant movement in the world of Bitcoin ETFs, particularly regarding Grayscale's efforts.
Grayscale's Bitcoin ETF Application: A Timeline
Grayscale's push to convert its existing Bitcoin Trust into a full-fledged Bitcoin ETF has been a major focus in the crypto space. A US federal court on 29 August ordered the Securities and Exchange Commission to vacate its rejection of Grayscale Investments’ application to convert its Bitcoin Trust. This pivotal moment has reignited hope for a Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF. This is significant because the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF is solely and passively invested in Bitcoin. Its investment objective is to reflect the value of Bitcoin held by the Trust, less expenses and other liabilities.
