Is Grayscale Takeover Bait Amid Bitcoin ETF Battle?

“A strategic acquisition of a firm such as Grayscale makes a ton of sense for the right traditional ETF issuer assuming the price is palatable,” said Nate Geraci, president of the ETF Store, an advisory firm. “While only two weeks old, the spot bitcoin ETF category is already wildly competitive and has clearly turned into a scale game given how low expense ratios are. A traditional ETF issuer could quickly boost assets under management, gain business operating expertise, and also acquire some ‘crypto street cred’ by targeting the right crypto-fund native firm.”
