Grayscale Investments is considering a new Bitcoin (BTC-USD) exchange-traded fund (ETF) as the company prepares to launch a “mini” BTC spot fund.
Let’s get into everything traders need to know about the new Grayscale Bitcoin ETF below!
- A recent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reveals that Grayscale Investments wants to create this mini BTC spot fund by spinning off its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (NYSEARCA:GBTC) ETF.
- This would see the smaller BTC spot ETF created with Bitcoin held by the larger GBTC.
- Doing this would grant current shareholders in GBTC shares of the new ETF, called the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust.
- Grayscale Investments is interested in this new Bitcoin ETF as a way to better compete with smaller BTC spot price rivals.
- It would do so by significantly lowering the price of transaction fees tied to its ETF.
Grayscale Bitcoin Mini ETF Gets a Ticker
Adding to all of this is the ticker for this new mini BTC spot fund. Grayscale Investments has managed to secure the BTC ticker, which is a major win. This is the same ticker that Bitcoin trades under on crypto exchanges.
Today’s news has GBTC down 2% with more than 6.1 million shares traded. The ETF’s daily average trading volume is about 16.4 million units.
