“We are proud to announce our first ETF in partnership with Bloomberg as we undertake this strategic expansion of our business. This product draws upon our historical strengths while kicking off the next stage of our evolution as an asset manager that helps investors build portfolios that can stand the test of time.” – said Grayscale CEO Michael Sonnenshein.
- Bloomberg’s Global Head of Multi-Asset Indices, Dave Gedeon, indicated that the new product “is primed to become the key equity benchmark for our ever-evolving digital economy.”

Nevertheless, the company remains committed to converting its largest product – The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust – into an exchange-traded fund tracking the performance of the primary cryptocurrency.
