EXCLUSIVE: Grayscale's Dave LaValle Counts ETFs Among The 'Greatest Financial Innovations Of Our Generation'
Portfolio Pulse from Justin Roberti
Grayscale Investments, a U.S.-based digital currency asset management company, is closer to launching a Bitcoin ETF based on the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) following the SEC's decision not to pursue any further objections. The GBTC holds about 3% of all the Bitcoin available, worth over $18 billion. Grayscale is also applying for a similar spot Ethereum ETF based on the Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE), which holds under $5 billion in Ethereum. Dave LaValle, the Global Head of ETFs for Grayscale, believes that combining the innovations of an ETF wrapper with a solid digital currency like Bitcoin will lead to investing efficiencies, saving money for investors and offering greater transparency and tax benefits.
