The company expects to continue delivering reports for the Trust in accordance with the OTCQB’s Alternative Reporting Standards.
Grayscale voluntarily files Registration Statements on Form 10 with the SEC in order to offer comprehensive and fair risk disclosures and other upgrades for Grayscale’s products, as well as increased transparency to investors.
Grayscale Investments first submitted the Trust’s Registration Statement on April 14, 2023. Grayscale revealed on May 16, 2023, that it received a comment letter from the SEC staff urging that Grayscale remove the Trust’s Registration Statement; the SEC staff indicated that the Trust’s underlying asset, Filecoin (FIL), fulfills the definition of a security under federal securities laws.
The company replied to the SEC staff on June 6, 2023, with an explanation of the legal foundation for Grayscale’s claim that FIL is not a security based on a study of Howey case law. After the SEC’s designation of FIL as a security in various filings in federal district court, the SEC staff reaffirmed their desire for Grayscale to seek removal of the Trust’s Registration Statement in subsequent written contact. Grayscale indicated in its withdrawal request that it still believes FIL is not a security for the reasons outlined in its June 6, 2023 letter.
