Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF Approved by the SEC, Will Launch With a Low 0.15% Fee

Following the successful Ethereum Mini Trust model, the SEC has now approved Grayscale's Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF. This will launch at a low 0.15% fee.

Following the approval of 11 spot BTC ETFs earlier this year, the SEC has now approved Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF, which will launch at a low 0.15% fee. From Wednesday next week, the Mini Trust will start trading, as reported by Nate Geraci. On his X page, he shared,

“Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust 19b-4 has been APPROVED…A spinoff from GBTC set to happen next Wednesday (date of record is Tuesday). Will be lowest cost spot bitcoin ETF at 15bps.”

After careful review, the Commission finds that the Proposals are consistent with the Exchange Act and rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities exchange.”

The agency further explained,

“… are reasonably designed to promote fair disclosure of information that may be necessary to price the shares of the Trusts appropriately, to prevent trading when a reasonable degree of transparency cannot be assured, to safeguard material non-public information relating to the Trusts’ portfolios, and to ensure fair and orderly markets for the shares of the Trusts.”

However, Grayscale has to wait for the effectiveness of BTC’s registration statement on form S-1. This will allow BTC to open as a spot for Bitcoin ETP.

After the SEC’s approval, GBTC’s stock increased by 5.18% in 24 hours. In fact, according to Google Finance, GBTC’s stock has sustained an uptrend over the last 30 days or so too.

Total assets under management have continually increased over the last 30 days from $16.98 billion to $17.54 billion. This trend shows prevailing positive market sentiment towards BTC and greater institutional interest.

In fact, according to the prevailing market sentiment, BTC is now well positioned for growth because of the shifting international monetary systems. The shifts means higher BTC velocity as governments, institutions, and individuals continually integrate and adopt BTC.

With high geopolitical tensions, crypto and BTC will be used more, especially to bypass sanctions while settling international trade. Such changes will help BTC’s price. The surge will positively impact GBTC since its value depends on Bitcoin’s market volatility.

Notably, Grayscale BTC Mini Trust approval allows individual investors and institutions to invest with lower fees. With rising ETFs and ETPs, the need for an affordable rate allows customers to enter markets because of affordability while helping Grayscale attract more revenue.

Essentially, it allows investors to enter the market and access BTC in a secure and regulated manner.
