There is continued optimism regarding the possibility of a Bitcoin Exchange Traded Fund (ETF). Grayscale has submitted an S-3 to the SEC, indicating its intention to list the shares of its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust on the NYSE Arca, a move that is part of its efforts to convert the trust into a Bitcoin ETF.
“We remain committed to working collaboratively and expeditiously with the SEC on behalf of GBTC’s investors,” said Grayscale.
