Crypto asset manager Grayscale has questioned <\/a>the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's decision to approve a leveraged Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) exchange-traded fund (ETF) in a July 10 letter.<\/p>\n

The firm's Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) also narrowed to its lowest point since May 2022, according to ycharts data<\/a>,<\/p>\n

GBTC discount narrows<\/h2>\n

GBTC's discount to its net asset value (NAV) narrowed to 27.49%, and its shares were trading near $20, according to ycharts data<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Source: Ycharts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

During the past few weeks, GBTC's discount has increasingly narrowed<\/a>, and the value of its shares has outperformed that of Bitcoin. For context, while GBTC shares<\/a> have risen by nearly 43% during the past month, BTC's value gained only 17% during the same time frame, according to CryptoSlate's<\/em> data<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Market observers have attributed<\/a> GBTC's improved performance to BlackRock's application for a Bitcoin spot ETF. Since the asset manager applied<\/a>\u00a0for a spot BTC ETF on June 15, other traditional financial institutions, including Fidelity and others, have applied<\/a> for a similar ETF.<\/p>\n

Grayscale questions SEC over BTC leverage ETF<\/h2>\n

On July 10, Grayscale criticized<\/a> the U.S. financial regulator's decision to approve a leveraged BTC ETF\u2014an investment fund that aims to generate amplified returns by using financial derivatives and debt\u2014arguing that the SEC's actions prove it is acting arbitrarily.<\/p>\n

The firm wrote:<\/p>\n

“The 2x levered bitcoin futures ETF employs leverage with the goal of doubling the performance of the S&P CME Bitcoin Futures Daily Roll Index each day. This exposes investors to an even riskier investment product than traditional bitcoin futures exchange-traded products.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Grayscale pointed out that the excitement generated by this leveraged BTC ETF shows that “investors are eager for <\/span>BTC<\/span> exposure with the protections of the ETF wrapper.” <\/span><\/p>\n

The firm added that the SEC had no good reason to deny the approval of spot products while approving leveraged futures products.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last year, the SEC rejected Grayscale's plan to convert its Bitcoin Trust into an ETF, forcing the firm to file a lawsuit<\/a>\u00a0against the SEC,\u00a0arguing<\/a> that a spot ETF was not different from a futures ETF\u2014which the SEC had previously approved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
