Crypto funding agency Grayscale on Monday filed to listing a Cardano (ADA) change traded fund on the New York Inventory Alternate.
Grayscale, which final 12 months broke by means of U.S. regulators’ blockade in opposition to the bitcoin ETF, has by no means beforehand provided a standalone ADA funding car regardless of making previous strikes to take action.
However the Trump 2.0 SEC’s pivot from policing the crypto business to seemingly embracing it has emboldened issuers to assume huge about what they’ll get by means of. In current weeks Grayscale filed for a Solana and XRP ETF as properly.
These merchandise would convert Grayscale’s preexisting crypto belief merchandise into extra broadly tradeable ETFs whereas the ADA ETF could be totally new.
Investor demand has all the time been excessive for the flagship asset of the Cardano blockchain. ADA ranks among the many largest crypto property by market cap, weighing in at $25 billion at press time. The token spiked 1.5% to 71 cents following the Grayscale information.
Market observers more and more imagine the time is nigh for altcoin ETFs to clear the not-quite-as-skeptical SEC. However an ADA car had not been on many commentators’ radars regardless of the coin’s reputation.
Grayscale didn’t instantly return a request for remark.
