Grayscale’s management company said that several board members would step down and announced replacements. The documents<\/a> filed with the SEC<\/span> show this.<\/p>\n

Barry Silbert, founder and chief executive of Digital Currency Group (DCG), Grayscale’s parent company, will depart the board on 1 January 2024. DCG president Mark Murphy will also depart.<\/p>\n

New members joining the board are Marc Shifke, Matthew Kammel, and Edward McGee. All three are connected to Digital Currency Group in one way or another.<\/p>\n

“Marc Shifke, Matthew Kammel, and Edward McGee will join the board, and they will also retain the powers granted to them as officers under the LLC agreement,” the statement said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Grayscale is currently seeking SEC approval to convert GBTC into a spot Bitcoin-ETF<\/a>. In late August a U.S. court granted<\/a> the firm’s motion<\/a> against the regulator for refusing to convert<\/a> the trust.<\/p>\n

In September the firm asked<\/a> the regulator to promptly approve the instrument. In October the court ordered the agency<\/a> to reconsider the relevant application. In November the parties discussed the details<\/a> of the spot Bitcoin-ETF. Later took place<\/a> other meetings with the agency.<\/p>\n

In December, SEC chairman Gary Gensler hinted<\/a> at how Grayscale’s victory would influence the agency’s decisions on spot ETFs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
