Mt. Gox repayments started, Grayscale CEO resigns and Bitcoin in top 15 currencies
Grayscale updates spot Bitcoin ETF filing amid Silbert’s resignation
Crypto asset manager Grayscale has updated its S-3 filing for a spot bitcoin ETF.
According to Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart, Grayscale filed an updated filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) the same day Barry Silbert — CEO of parent company Digital Currency Group — announced his resignation from Grayscale’s board of directors.
“Even Grayscale is accepting the SEC’s Cash-only creation/redemption edict. Looks like they’re bending the knee.”
Some crypto market commentators have speculated that Silbert’s departure could significantly increase the chances of Grayscale successfully converting its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) into a spot Bitcoin ETF, which is currently awaiting an SEC decision.
