Grayscale v. SEC: Who Won This Week’s Hearing? - Ep. 465

In App anhören
Elliott Stein, senior litigation analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, shares his insights from a court hearing this week on the SEC’s rejection of Grayscale’s bid to convert GBTC into a spot bitcoin ETF. Stein says federal appellate court judges seemed skeptical of the SEC’s arguments for why bitcoin futures ETFs are OK while bitcoin spot ETFs aren’t. Who’s likely to win the case and what does it mean for the crypto industry as a whole?

Show highlights:

why Grayscale filed the lawsuit against the SEC

why Grayscale believes that a bitcoin futures ETF is essentially the same as a spot ETF

what the SEC disagrees

why the judges pushed back against the SEC’s arguments

why Elliott changed his mind about who will win the case after the hearing

what would happen if Grayscale ends up winning the lawsuit and whether the SEC could go back on its previous approvals

whether other companies applying for a bitcoin spot ETF would benefit from Grayscale winning the case

whether this case could have an impact on the jurisdictional battle between the SEC and the CFTC

why Elliott is keeping an eye on other cases such as Ripple, Terraform Labs, and insider trading at Coinbase
