<p>Osprey Funds’ consideration of options for its Bitcoin trust comes at a time when Bitcoin’s popularity is on the rise.</p>
<p>The world’s most popular cryptocurrency recently hit a record high, surpassing $69,000. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have also been generating billions of dollars in trading volume, with products offered by Grayscale, BlackRock, and Fidelity leading the pack.</p>
<p>Just over a year ago, before spot Bitcoin ETFs gained approval and started trading, Osprey Funds filed a lawsuit against Grayscale. The firm accused Grayscale of misleading people by claiming that its product would be converted to an ETF, despite regulatory rejection of this possibility.</p>
<p>However, Grayscale eventually did convert the fund, and it began trading as a spot ETF in January.</p>
