Grayscale Investments processa SEC Bitcoin Negação de ETF

In response to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s denial of a request to convert its Bitcoin trust into an exchange-traded fund, Grayscale Investments, the largest manager of digital currency assets globally, has filed a lawsuit against the SEC. 

Michael Sonnenshein, CEO da Grayscale Investments, twittou em 29 de junho:

Grayscale Investments inicia ação judicial contra a SEC.

No que diz respeito ao gerenciamento e investimento de ativos de criptomoeda, o Grayscale Investment é uma fonte respeitável. A empresa oferece análise de mercado e exposição de investimento para a classe de ativos emergente para moedas digitais. 

However, in October 2021, Grayscale submitted a request to the SEC to declare its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust to spot-based bitcoin ETF.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has continuously refused to allow a spot bitcoin ETF to be created. This would have allowed regular investors to buy into digital assets in a way that is similar to stocks. This would have been a significant step towards the mainstream adoption of digital assets, but the SEC voted against it.

Infelizmente, a SEC rejeitado Grayscale’s request to convert a Bitcoin trust earlier on June 29. The regulator turned down the spot bitcoin ETF proposals because of worries about market manipulation. As a result, the eight-month conversion drive by Grayscale has been rejected, which results in legal action.

A Grayscale imediatamente solicitou ao Tribunal de Apelações dos EUA para o Circuito do Distrito de Columbia em 29 de junho para examinar a negação da SEC e contestar a decisão.

Michael destacou suas preocupações e desânimo em relação à SEC:

We are deeply disappointed by and vehemently disagree with the SEC’s decision to continue to deny spot Bitcoin ETFs from coming to the U.S. market.

He believes American investors will strongly express the desire to convert GBTC to a spot Bitcoin ETF during the ETF application review process. It would allow billions of dollars in investor funds to flow while bringing the biggest Bitcoin fund in the world closer to the regulatory boundaries of the United States.

Moreover, in order to support their investors and the fair regulatory treatment of Bitcoin investment vehicles, he claimed that the company would continue to use all of its resources.

Donald B. Verrilli Jr., estrategista jurídico sênior da Grayscale, acredita que a SEC está violando a Lei de Procedimento Administrativo e a Lei da Bolsa de Valores de 1934 ao operar "arbitrariamente e caprichosamente". Isso inclui negligenciar o tratamento consistente de veículos de investimento idênticos.

Ele afirma que:

Há um argumento convincente e de bom senso aqui, e esperamos resolver esse assunto de forma produtiva e rápida.

Besides this, the Wall Street trading firms Jane Street, Virtu Financial (VIRT), and Grayscale signed an agreement on Monday to reduce the discount on their Bitcoin Trust in the wake of a probable ETF conversion.

David LaValle, chefe global de ETFs da empresa, disse que, embora a SEC ainda não tenha aprovado seu pedido, é um sinal de que eles estão prontos para quando isso acontecer.
