On Friday, Grayscale Investments, the world\u2019s largest digital currency asset manager in terms of assets under management (AUM), revealed that three trusts have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in order to become SEC reporting companies. The three trusts include individual crypto asset products such as the bitcoin cash trust, the litecoin trust, and the ethereum classic trust, which will join three other Grayscale trusts that are already SEC reporting companies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grayscale\u2019s BCH<\/a>, LTC<\/a>, ETC<\/a> Trusts to Join Three Other Products as SEC Reporting Companies<\/h2>\n

Grayscale Investments<\/a> has detailed that three individual crypto trusts are moving forward with their product growth cycle. The company announced on Friday that the Bitcoin Cash Trust (OTCQX: BCHG), Litecoin Trust (OTCQX: LTCN), and the Ethereum Classic Trust (OTCQX: ETCG) have been registered with the SEC in a new filing. The Form 10 registration will effectively convert the trusts into SEC reporting companies and eventually, Grayscale hopes these trusts will become exchange-traded funds (ETFs).<\/p>\n

The digital currency asset manager stated that the trusts\u2019 \u201cproduct development pipeline\u201d was described in a blog post Grayscale published last April. The blog post, called \u201cGrayscale\u2019s Intentions for a Bitcoin ETF,\u201d mostly discusses the firm\u2019s bitcoin (BTC<\/a>)-based trust, but the firm further says the company will \u201cultimately convert each product into a digital currency ETF.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grayscale commanding six crypto trusts with SEC reporting status is a milestone, according to Craig Salm, Grayscale Investments\u2019 vice president of legal operations. \u201cThis milestone reflects Grayscale\u2019s continued commitment to offering transparent investment vehicles that voluntarily exceed standard reporting requirements, meet a heightened level of disclosure, and are subject to additional regulatory oversight,\u201d Salm explained in a statement sent to Bitcoin.com News.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we await regulatory approval for a Bitcoin ETF, we remain focused on providing investors with opportunities to access the digital currency ecosystem through Grayscale\u2019s secure, trusted family of products,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Highly-Anticipated SEC Decision Concerning Bitcoin ETF<\/h2>\n

As SEC reporting companies, the LTC<\/a>, BCH<\/a>, and ETC<\/a> trusts will need to file additional reports and provide more financial statements. The trusts must follow all the rules under the U.S. Exchange Act (SEA)<\/a> and file a Form 8-K<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The three trusts that were previously granted SEC reporting status include Grayscale\u2019s Bitcoin Trust, Ethereum Trust, and the Digital Large Cap Fund. Grayscale products are handled by the MSRB-registered and FINRA\/SIPC member Genesis Global Trading, Inc.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, Grayscale Investments is also waiting to see if the U.S. regulator will approve the firm\u2019s bitcoin (BTC)<\/a> ETF filing. Furthermore, Grayscale is among a dozen prospects that are attempting to get SEC approval for a bitcoin exchange-traded fund.<\/p>\n
