Grayscale wants to turn GBTC into a Bitcoin ETF

The CEO of digital asset management firm, Grayscale, has revealed that the company is working towards turning its flagship Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) into a Bitcoin ETF. He made this known during an interview with CNBC earlier today.

Michael Sonnenshein told CNBC that he is confident that a Bitcoin ETF would be launched in the United States despite the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rejecting several proposals in recent years. “I think in our seat, from our view of the world, we’re really looking for a couple of different points of maturation in the underlying market, and that’s really the final stages of what we think regulators need to approve those types of products and give investors the protections that they’re looking for,” he added.

The asset management firm partnered with US banking giant BNY Mellon last week. Per the agreement, BNY Mellon will provide services to GBTC when it transforms into a Bitcoin ETF.

SEC is reviewing nine Bitcoin and two Ether ETFs

At the moment, the SEC is reviewing nine Bitcoin ETFs from various firms, including Ark Invest, Wisdom Tree, Fidelity and VanEck. The commission has delayed its decisions on four Bitcoin ETF proposals.

The exchange is also reviewing two Ether ETFs submitted earlier this year. While the US is yet to approve a Bitcoin ETF, Canada has already approved a few Bitcoin and Ether ETFs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

Why is there no trial or refund policy?

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

How often is content updated?

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
