Grayscale Investments has filed an S-3 form with the SEC to convert its $600 million Digital Large Cap Fund into an ETF, potentially diversifying retail access beyond accredited investors. Approval of this ETF could stimulate broader market participation in digital assets.

Grayscale’s move, if approved, will list securities on NYSE Arca, enhancing retail investor access. The conversion aims to democratize crypto exposure for retail investors, expanding beyond its current availability to only accredited investors. This step signals growing interest in broadening market accessibility, potentially increasing liquidity and trading volumes.
