SEC Acknowledged Grayscale’s ETF Change
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially acknowledged Grayscale’s request to turn its Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund (GDLC) into an exchange-traded fund (ETF).
Grayscale Investments, a top player in crypto asset management, was looking to convert its Digital Large Cap Fund. This fund includes popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Avalanche. By changing it to an ETF, Grayscale aims to make these digital assets more accessible and regulated for investors.

Bitcoin ETFs have already been a big hit, bringing in billions of dollars in investments. Perhaps, it took about ten years for these products to be approved, showing that getting approval can take time.

Garlinghouse sees ETFs as an important factor that can drive prices up for different cryptocurrencies. He claims that these products create “upward pressure” on prices, which could help the whole crypto market.
