Grayscale's mission to bring cryptocurrencies in the mainstream financial universe through ETFs has picked up pace.
Apr 02, 2025 at 03:28 am
Nasdaq filed a request on March 28, through a 19b-4 filing, to transform Grayscale's Avalanche Trust into a Grayscale's spot Avalanche ETF.
Grayscale, the renowned crypto asset management firm, is actively seeking approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch spot cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs). In a significant development, Nasdaq has filed a request to convert Grayscale's existing Avalanche Trust into a spot Avalanche ETF.
On Tuesday, Grayscale took another step in its ETF endeavors by filing an S-3 form with the SEC to transform its Digital Large Cap Fund into an ETF. The fund, which provides exposure to several cryptocurrencies, is being restructured as an ETF to make investments in major digital assets more accessible to retail investors.
The move is part of Grayscale's broader strategy to bring digital asset investing into the traditional markets, enabling both institutional and retail investors to have exposure to cryptocurrencies without actually owning the underlying assets.
Earlier this year, Grayscale faced setbacks when the SEC rejected its application for a Bitcoin ETF and postponed its decision on several other products, including an Ethereum ETF and a multi-token ETF. However, the commission did approve two Bitcoin futures ETFs from other firms, paving the way for more complex products like spot Bitcoin ETFs.
In February, Cathie Wood's Ark Invest also submitted applications for several Bitcoin ETFs, further highlighting the growing interest in such investment vehicles.
Now, with the request to restructure its Digital Large Cap Fund as an ETF, Grayscale has taken yet another significant step toward its goal. The fund offers diversified exposure to several cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other leading digital assets.
If approved, the Avalanche ETF will be listed on the Nasdaq exchange, offering investors a convenient and efficient way to invest in AVAX. The ETF will be subject to the same regulatory scrutiny and investor protections as other ETFs in the market.

The almost 2-year-old Avalanche Trust was initially intended to offer institutional investors a way to invest in AVAX, the native token of the Avalanche blockchain. By transforming it into an ETF, Grayscale aims to make investments in AVAX more accessible to retail investors while bringing more stringent regulatory protection into mainstream financial markets. If the ETF is approved, this would be yet another step in mainstreaming blockchain-based assets.

With these latest moves, Grayscale is upping the ante in the push for cryptocurrency adoption. By making digital assets more accessible and regulated, the company is carving a path for broader acceptance of cryptocurrency-based investment products.
