SEC Still Weighing On Bitcoin ETF Proposals As Grayscale Lawsuit Continues
Key Points:
In an interview with Bloomberg reporter Kailey Leinz, Gensler addressed concerns about the Grayscale lawsuit during a recent inquiry but refrained from delving into specifics.
“We have 8-10 filings from issuers; there is a process. I look forward to the Staff’s recommendations,” he stated.
This development comes after the SEC decided not to appeal its August court loss over Grayscale’s endeavor to convert its Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) into an ETF. Grayscale initially filed for this conversion in October 2021, with GBTC being the world’s largest cryptocurrency fund, currently managing $16.7 billion in assets.
In response to the SEC’s decision not to appeal, investors narrowed GBTC’s discount to net asset value to approximately 14%, as reported by Bloomberg. This marks the narrowest margin since November 2021, contrasting the record 48.9% discount in December 2022.
Furthermore, a recent report by CryptoQuant, a provider of blockchain data, suggests that Bitcoin’s market capitalization could experience substantial growth if spot Bitcoin ETF proposals gain approval next year. The report anticipates a surge of institutional investment that could elevate Bitcoin’s market cap to $900 billion. Additionally, the influx of funds into the digital asset space could potentially raise the entire cryptocurrency market cap by $1 trillion.
