Grayscale Investments, a major player in the cryptocurrency world, is making a significant move by transferring $1 billion worth of Ethereum to Coinbase Prime. This is all in preparation for the launch of their new Ethereum ETF, which is set to start trading this week.
What’s Happening?
Grayscale is converting 10% of its Ethereum Trust holdings into the new ETF. This means they are changing the way they hold some of their Ethereum to make it easier and cheaper for people to invest in.
By creating this new ETF, Grayscale aims to simplify the investment process and reduce costs for investors. This way, they can keep investments within their firm while offering a cheaper and more attractive option for people who want to invest in Ethereum.
Some people were worried that this move might lead to Grayscale selling off their Ethereum or switching to other cryptocurrencies like Solana. However, experts like Jon Campagna from Nexyst Digital believe that Grayscale is committed to sticking with Ethereum.
