Lawyers for Grayscale have sent a letter to a D.C. court protesting the SECgov's approval of a leveraged bitcoin-based ETF application after the SEC rejected its own spot bitcoin-based ETF application. LizKNapolitano reports
Lawyers for Grayscale, a crypto asset manager, criticized regulators on Monday for approving a leveraged bitcoin-based exchange traded fund amid the company's lawsuit over the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rejection of its own spot bitcoin ETF application, according to aThe letter, addressed to the U.S.
"While the commission could theoretically correct its discriminatory treatment of spot bitcoin ETPs by rescinding its approval of all bitcoin-based ETPs, the Commission…makes clear [it] has no intention of doing so," Grayscale's lawyers said in the letter. The SEC rejected Grayscale's application to convert its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust into an ETF last year, prompting the company to file an appeal against the regulatory agency alleging a violation of the Administrative Procedures Act. The DC Circuit Court heard arguments from both parties in March, and a ruling may come by the end of the year.
