The company, known for its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, has witnessed the resignation of key executives as it awaits approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to transform its Bitcoin Trust into a U.S. spot exchange-traded fund (ETF).
In an official filing with the SEC on December 26, Grayscale announced the resignation of DCG CEO Barry Silbert (he is also the founder of Digital Currency Group (DCG), Grayscale’s parent company). Silbert, who served as chairman, is stepping down alongside Mark Murphy, the president of DCG. Both resignations will be effective January 1, 2024.
Replacing DCG CEO Barry Silbert as chairman is Mark Shifke, currently DCG’s chief financial officer. The board will also welcome new members, including Mark Shifke, Matthew Kummell, and Edward McGee. Grayscale did not provide specific reasons for the changes in leadership.
The transition comes at a crucial time for Grayscale, as it awaits the SEC’s decision on its application to convert the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust into a U.S. spot ETF. Meanwhile, DCG, the parent company, faces legal challenges.
In October, the New York Attorney General, Letitia James, filed a lawsuit against DCG, including allegations of defrauding over 230,000 investors, with DCG vehemently rejecting these claims.
