✴️ #GBTC #crypto #watchlist
Ned Davis Research: GBTC potentially doubling by midyear.

GBTC’s share price trades at a 47% discount to its underlying NEV

Grayscale (the fund’s corporate sponsor) wants to convert GBTC into an ETF, it’s the best way to close the discount #etf

SEC rejected Grayscale’s bid to convert GBTC into an ETF, prompting Grayscale to sue the agency. The trial is set to begin on March 7 #court

Grayscale plans to return up to 20% of GBTC‘s capital to shareholders if its legal strategy fails #buyback

Grayscale doesn’t have a redemption program in place = investors are screwed unless the SEC grants its proposal to convert to a Bitcoin spot ETF #redemption
