The cryptocurrency market is undergoing a major transformation following the approval of Bitcoin ETFs on January 10th. Since then, Bitcoin has doubled in value and reached new highs one after another. Grayscale, on the other hand, has made significant sales in recent years and has now launched a new investment fund.
New Fund and Accredited Investors
Grayscale’s newly announced fund will focus on proof-of-stake-based tokens and will be available to investors with a minimum net worth of $2.2 million. This fund will be the company’s first actively managed investment product and will aim to optimize revenue through stake rewards. The fund will oversee the staking of multiple tokens and the generation of income.
ETF Approval and Market Impact
Grayscale had previously obtained approval from the SEC for spot Bitcoin ETFs, which allow direct investment in the cryptocurrency. The approved ETFs in January saw transactions worth billions of dollars, and in terms of volume, Grayscale ranked second only to BlackRock.
Grayscale also disclosed the regulations and operations of the fund. The GDIF is not and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act, and is not subject to specific restrictions and requirements of the Investment Company Act.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin prices continue to fluctuate in the shadow of these developments. Following the statements of Fed Chairman Powell, the price dropped below $70,000 and is trading at around $69,800 with a 1.5% decrease.
