Blackrock's Spot Bitcoin ETF Threatens Grayscale's Dominance, Says Bernstein

June 26 (Cointime) - According to a research report by Bernstein, Grayscale's dominant position as the largest bitcoin asset management product may be threatened by Blackrock's filing for a spot bitcoin ETF in the US. Grayscale's BTC trust (GBTC) earns around $380 million in annualized fees despite being inefficient, illiquid, and trading at a significant discount.

If Blackrock and other asset managers are able to break through the spot ETF market, it would offer a more convenient and acceptable product for both retail and institutional players to gain bitcoin exposure. Bernstein notes that there is headroom for a compliant ETF to grow its share as a bitcoin on-ramp, and there is room to bring the pricing in line with more traditional asset ETFs.

  • U.S. Congressman Mike Flood: Looking forward to working with the next SEC Chairman to revoke the anti-crypto banking policy SAB 121

     US House of Representatives will investigate Representative Mike Flood's recent statement: "Despite widespread opposition, SAB 121 is still operating as a regulation, even though it has never gone through the normal Administrative Procedure Act process." Flood said, "I look forward to working with the next SEC chairman to revoke SAB 121. Whether Chairman Gary Gensler resigns on his own or President Trump fulfills his promise to dismiss Gensler, the new government has an excellent opportunity to usher in a new era after Gensler's departure." He added, "It's not surprising that Gensler opposed the digital asset regulatory framework passed by the House on a bipartisan basis earlier this year. 71 Democrats and House Republicans passed this common-sense framework together. Although the Democratic-led Senate rejected it, it represented a breakthrough moment for cryptocurrency and may provide information for the work of the unified Republican government when the next Congress begins in January next year."
