The SEC just approved a new ETF application from Grayscale, combining Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Cardano into one product. This represents a major breakthrough for regulatory approval.
BTC and ETH, which already have available spot ETFs, make up more than 90% of the product’s composition. Still, this sets a few big precedents for the US ETF market.
Grayscale’s New ETF
Grayscale, a leader in the fight for a Bitcoin ETF, has been pushing at the boundaries in several ways. It’s filed several altcoin proposals and attempted to create a staking ETF in recent months alone. However, this new product is practically a new paradigm, tying five separate tokens into a single offering:
According to the SEC filing, Grayscale’s new ETF will heavily weigh towards Bitcoin; 80.20% of its value goes to it. ETH will represent 11.39% of the ETF’s value, XRP 4.82%, Solana 2.78%, and Cardano 0.81%. Technically, this will be the first US spot ETF that’s tied to these major altcoins, but BTC and Ethereum make up more than 90% of the fund. These assets already have spot ETFs.
Still, this is a major signal from the SEC. Several firms are attempting to create bundled products and altcoin ETFs alike, but Grayscale finally won the race. Hopefully, this indicates some similar approvals in the near future.
