Grayscale Aims For Fifth ETF Launch This Year The successful conversion of Grayscale’s Digital Large Cap Fund into an ETF would mark the fifth launch by the firm this year, highlighting its strategy to expand its product offerings in response to increasing demand for diverse digital asset exposure. Balchunas noted that the ETF’s holdings, predominantly consisting of Bitcoin and Ethereum, could provide enough flexibility to accommodate smaller, less liquid assets, potentially paving the way for approval.
The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) had previously filed a 19b-4 application on behalf of Grayscale, seeking the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) approval to amend its rulebook to permit the listing of this new ETF. This filing follows a pivotal year for the market, which recently saw the approval of spot ETFs for Bitcoin and Ethereum in January and July respectively, allowing these funds to hold actual tokens rather than relying on futures contracts. This shift comes after years of rejections of such index funds, spurred by a court ruling in favor of Grayscale that prompted the Securities and Exchange Commission led by Gary Gensler to reconsider its stance.
