How much is the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) discount?
cryptocoin.com After the collapse of FTX, fallout swept the crypto markets. The so-called Sam coins felt the heat as the stock market sank. However, now one of the most popular financial products in the crypto market is under pressure.
Grayscale Bitcoin Trust’s (GBTC) NAV discount hit an all-time low of 45.2% last week. GBTC allows investors to invest in Bitcoin through a fund structure. The fund’s reduction later showed signs of recovery. Thus, it rose from its lows throughout the week. However, it closed the week at a discount of over 40% again.
Uncertainty over Grayscale’s parent company Digital Currency Group, which also owns troubled crypto lending firm Genesis Capital, is having a negative impact on GBTC. In other GBTC-related news, the fund’s issuer, Grayscale, claimed that the SEC was hurting investors by rejecting its application to convert the fund into a spot Bitcoin ETF. The SEC has until December 9 to respond to the firm’s petition.
