Grayscale has been wanting to convert its flagship fund GBTC into a Bitcoin spot ETF, but has been consistently rejected by the SEC. Grayscale has also filed a lawsuit against the SEC, and a court decision may be made in Q3.
While pursuing the lawsuit, Grayscale has simultaneously submitted new ETF funds to the SEC, planning to list on the New York Stock Exchange Arca, Inc. One of these is the Grayscale Ethereum Futures ETF, ETHG. Through these various fund applications, Grayscale hopes to increase its market share and avoid being solely focused on the legal battle with the SEC.
