<p>In-kind transactions refer to the process where ETF shares are created or redeemed by exchanging securities, like stocks or bonds, instead of cash. This method efficiently manages the ETF’s portfolio and helps minimize the tax impact on investors.</p> 
<p>Grayscale also <a href="https://twitter.com/JSeyff/status/1737559507130028513" target="_blank" rel="noopener">proposed</a> that only authorized participants should be able to create and redeem Bitcoin ETP shares and must be registered with FINRA. </p>
