21Shares Files for Polkadot ETF with SEC

Saturday. February 1 at 10:00 AM

1 min. read

Asset management firm 21Shares has submitted an S-1 filing with the SEC for a Polkadot ETF. The company intends to list shares on the Cboe BZX Exchange. The proposed 21Shares Polkadot Trust will replicate its existing Polkadot Trust, tracking DOT prices through the CME CF Polkadot-Dollar Reference Rate. Coinbase Custody will be responsible for holding the assets. The ETF will adopt a passive investment approach, steering clear of leverage, derivatives, and active trading. Despite the announcement, Polkadot's price has not shown any significant reaction, remaining down by 10% in January. This move by 21Shares follows Tuttle Capital Management's recent proposal for a 2x leveraged Polkadot ETF, which has since been withdrawn. Grayscale has also entered the ETF arena with applications for Dogecoin, XRP, Litecoin, and Solana ETFs, alongside their Bitcoin Miners ETF. The SEC's stance on altcoin ETFs may shift under new leadership, potentially impacting the approval timeline for such funds.

Litecoin Spot ETF: Excitement and Criticism

Sunday. January 26 at 9:00 AM

Asset managers Grayscale and Coinshares have entered the race to launch a Litecoin (LTC) Spot ETF, sparking mixed reactions from the crypto community. Coinshares filed an S-1 registration form with the SEC for the COINSHARES LITECOIN ETF, while Grayscale filed a 19b-4 form for its Grayscale Litecoin Trust. This move positions them alongside Canary Capital in the quest for the first Litecoin Spot ETF. The prospect of a spot ETF has generated enthusiasm in the crypto space, with expectations of institutional adoption and price growth. However, some analysts doubt the success of a Litecoin Spot ETF, citing the asset's stagnant price history. Despite this, others point to Litecoin's network activity and utility in transactions as positive indicators. The debate surrounding the Litecoin Spot ETF continues, with Litecoin potentially becoming the next crypto asset to secure a spot ETF, ahead of competitors like Solana and XRP.

Bitwise Registers Delaware Entity for Potential Dogecoin ETF

Thursday. January 23 at 7:00 AM

Bitwise Asset Management has established a Dogecoin ETF entity in Delaware, potentially paving the way for future exchange-traded funds centered on the popular meme coin. The firm registered 'BITWISE DOGECOIN ETF' as a statutory trust through CSC Delaware Trust Company, marking an initial administrative step towards a potential ETF launch. While the Delaware registration is significant, it is not an official ETF filing with the SEC. This move aligns with Bitwise's strategy to offer institutional crypto investment products, with previous expansions into Bitcoin, Ethereum, and now potentially Solana ETFs. The registration coincides with a trend of asset managers seeking to provide regulated crypto exposure through ETFs, as seen with recent filings for various crypto-related ETFs by other firms like VanEck. Despite the registration, Bitwise still needs to submit a comprehensive application to the SEC before any Dogecoin ETF can be introduced to the market.
