Grayscale joins Bitwise in filing to launch a standalone Aave product in the US, betting that Wall Street has retained its appetite for altcoins.
Crypto asset manager Grayscale filed for regulatory approval to convert its trust tracking the token of the decentralized lending protocol Aave into an exchange-traded fund (ETF).
The company filed a Form S-1 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday, saying it intends to convert the trust and rename it the Grayscale Aave Trust ETF.
Grayscale added that it is looking to launch the fund on NYSE Arca, one of the most popular exchanges for trading ETFs, under the ticker “GAVE.” It will have a fee of 2.5%, and Coinbase will serve as both its custodian and prime broker.
