SEC Halts Grayscale Large Cap Fund Approval for 'Review'
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is currently reviewing Grayscale's attempt to convert its Digital Large Cap Fund (GDLC) into an exchange-traded fund (ETF). This review follows the agency's prior allowance for Grayscale to uplist the fund, which manages approximately $755 million in assets comprising Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano. The SEC's decision was initially made by staff through delegated authority without a formal vote from the commissioners. However, a letter from the SEC stated that this decision is now under review, as any commissioner has the right to request a review of SEC actions. During this review process, the order for the conversion is stayed until the Commission decides otherwise. GDLC is currently benchmarked to CoinDesk's CoinDesk 5 Index. The managing editor for CoinDesk, Nikhilesh De, covered regulatory developments extensively, including the FTX coverage that won him recognition in the journalism field.
