SEC Greenlights Grayscale- New Hope for Altcoin ETFs as Grayscale GDLC Approved
SEC Greenlights Grayscale– The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially approved Grayscale Investments’ request to convert its Digital Large Cap Fund (GDLC) into a spot exchange-traded fund (ETF). This move allows GDLC to be publicly traded and offer investors diversified exposure to major crypto assets in a single product.
GDLC’s Multi-Asset Structure Offers Broader Market Access
GDLC is designed to mirror the CoinDesk 5 Index, which tracks the performance of the top five most liquid digital currencies. The fund currently includes Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), XRP, and Cardano (ADA). With its transition to an ETF, investors gain regulated access to this multi-asset mix, a first of its kind in the U.S. market.
Analysts Signal Momentum Toward Altcoin Spot ETFs
Investment advisor Nate Geraci noted earlier that GDLC’s approval could serve as a “low-risk test run” for the SEC. “See where this is all heading? Individual spot XRP, SOL, ADA, etc., ETFs up next,” Geraci stated on X (formerly Twitter). Bloomberg analysts James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas echoed this sentiment, raising the odds of spot ETFs for altcoins like LTC, SOL, and XRP to 95%.
