Grayscale Faces 'Instantaneous' Fee War in US Bitcoin ETF Race
August 31, 2023--Firm vying with BlackRock, others known to undercut on fees
GBTC 2% fee compares with ETF-industry average of 0.54%
Fresh off a pivotal win in court this week, Grayscale Investments LLC may soon find itself in another fight: the $7.5 trillion US exchange-traded industry's never-ending contest over fees.
A ruling Tuesday overturned the Securities and Exchange Commission's decision to block Grayscale's bid to convert its $17 billion Bitcoin trust into a physically backed ETF.
While the action potentially paves the way for the firm to attract a fresh wave of investors, there's just one thing: The product carries a 2% fee in its current form. That compares to an average of 0.54% across US-listed ETFs, and 1.48% for crypto exchange-traded products globally, Bloomberg Intelligence data show.

US SEC delays decision on Invesco, WisdomTree, Valkyrie bitcoin ETFs
August 31, 2023--The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has delayed a decision on whether to approve applications for spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETF) from Invesco (IVZ.N), WisdomTree (WT.N) and Valkyrie, a filing by the regulator showed on Thursday.
The SEC has pushed back the decision dates for the three proposals by several weeks to mid-October, but could potentially delay further. It was previously due to make a decision by next week.
The delay comes just two days after a federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday that the SEC was wrong to reject an application from Grayscale Investments to create a spot bitcoin ETF. A three-judge panel of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals in Washington said the regulator failed to fully explain its reasoning when denying Grayscale's product.

Little evidence that a spot bitcoin ETF would expand the market
August 30, 2023--BlackRock's application and Grayscale's court victory stirred the crypto world, but such investment vehicles look very vanilla
You don't have to want to invest in bitcoin to be in favour of US regulators giving their approval to a bitcoin exchange traded fund. You can disapprove of other people putting their money into the cryptocurrency but defend the idea that the Securities and Exchange Commission should let them.
Perhaps not to the death- we don’t need to go all Voltaire about this-but you get the idea.
Applications for a spot bitcoin ETF-a fund that would actually hold bitcoin directly as opposed to investing in derivatives tied to the bitcoin price -have been consistently rejected by the SEC over the past decade.
