“There’s been a fundamental shift in investor preferences, directly impacting wealth managers and the asset management industry. I’m delighted by the opportunity to leverage my broad experience to work with Michael [Sonnenshein] and the Grayscale team to advance this digital evolution.” – LaValle commented.
- He also confirmed the firm’s plans to develop and eventually launch an exchange-traded fund tracking the performance of Bitcoin and other digital assets in the future.
- Grayscale previously outlined its long-term strategy to convert its largest product – the Bitcoin Trust – into an ETF. So far, though, the US Securities and Exchange Commission is yet to approve such a product.
- The SEC Chairman – Gary Gensler – recently indicated that a BTC ETF will see the light of day in the US only after the watchdog is confident that it’s safe enough for all types of investors.
- While the USA continues to reject ETF applications, Canada has already approved three such products, and they have garnered billions of dollars in the past several months.
