The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has chosen not to join a legal dispute with Grayscale Investments, a well-known digital asset management company. This decision may be related to the SEC’s reevaluation of Grayscale’s ETF application.
ETF Season
ETF analyst James Seyffart confirmed that discussions between Grayscale and the SEC will begin next week. An update is expected within 2 weeks.
1. Done deal I guess if this is accurate. No en banc application
2. No. I do not think they will appeal to the Supreme Court either.
3. Dialogue between Grayscale and SEC should begin next week. Hoping for more info on next steps sometime next week or week after? https://t.co/2EayzqeKGq
