Grayscale Bitcoin Trust

Spot

Grayscale continued efforts to list a spot BTC ETF built on its existing fund, which boasts a $25 billion market cap.&nbsp; 
Grayscale Investments filed an updated S-3 Form with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1588489/000119312523306046/d118708ds3a.htm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">convert</a> its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) product into a spot Bitcoin ETF.&nbsp; This is Grayscale’s third amended submission towards its GBTC conversion, according to ETF expert James Seyffart. The firm previously <a href="https://crypto.news/grayscale-updates-spot-bitcoin-etf-filing-amid-silberts-resignation/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">filed</a> a similar form following the departure of chairman Barry Silbert. 
Senior Bloomberg analyst <a href="https://twitter.com/ericbalchunas/status/1742166022105227533?s=46&amp;t=TMI07H21nqgKjjcESnhqEQ" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Eric Balchunas</a> noted that the SEC filing confirmed a pivot to cash-create subscriptions. Grayscale did not, however, disclose the Authorized Participants (APs) for its fund. The fee was also left out of this submission. 
The SEC will reportedly require issuers to disclose details on both before ETFs can be listed and open for trading.

 New Grayscale amendment just dropped. Clear language on cash only but still no AP named, just blanks where name should go. Not sure why since SEC wants to see it and they have been pretty cocksure about having one. Also, nothing on fee (that I could see). That's big open q too. <a href="https://t.co/tQ9MTBlvg8" target="_blank">https://t.co/tQ9MTBlvg8</a> <a href="https://t.co/id8Tb8ImaP" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/id8Tb8ImaP</a>— Eric Balchunas (@EricBalchunas) <a href="https://twitter.com/EricBalchunas/status/1742166022105227533?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">January 2, 2024</a>

BlackRock already filed its updated S-1 application with AP disclosures attached. The trillion-dollar asset manager <a href="https://crypto.news/blackrock-designates-jpmorgan-jane-street-as-bitcoin-etf-authorized-participants/">named</a> Wall Street heavyweights Jane Street and JPMorgan its two APs. These APs will act as underwriters for BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF, guaranteeing payment and redemptions should the fund post lackluster returns.&nbsp; 
Fox News sources said S-1 filing reviews could stall an SEC decision on spot Bitcoin ETFs until Jan. 10, when many believe the Securities Commission will field approvals for at least one issuer.&nbsp; 
In the interim, traders have <a href="https://crypto.news/polymarket-investors-confident-of-spot-bitcoin-etf-nod-by-jan-15/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">placed</a> bets on the timeline for approval on prediction platforms like Polymarket. A staggering 90% of bettors on the site favor a decision by Jan. 15, with nearly half a million dollars locked in a contract at press time.&nbsp; 
While general sentiment suggests that a Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BTC</a>) ETF is inevitable, debates abound concerning its impact on the crypto market. VanEck, one of the 14 filers, said approvals would not <a href="https://crypto.news/vaneck-spot-bitcoin-etf-launch-will-not-impact-btc-price/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">impact</a> price. BitMEX, however, expects massive inflows into BTC upon the arrival of an SEC greenlight.
