BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, ADA Now in One Basket — SEC Greenlights Grayscale’s GDLC

  • The Grayscale GDLC has finally been approved for trading after the SEC earlier issued a stay order without any specific reason. 
  • Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA) have reacted strongly to this news. 

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially approved Grayscale’s Digital Large Cap Fund (GDLC) for trading on the stock exchange. Not just that, the Generic Listing Standards for Commodity-Based Trust Shares proposed by top US exchanges were also approved.

Grayscale

GDLC is the first multi-asset crypto Exchange Traded Product (ETP) set to be launched by Grayscale. As highlighted in our earlier discussion, the assets in this basket include Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA), with portfolio allocation of 72.23%, 12.17%, 5.62%, 4.03%, and 1% respectively.

The Road to Grayscale’s GDLC Groundbreaking Approval

According to Grayscale, the GDLC was purposely created to provide exposure of digital assets to investors without directly requiring them to store, buy, or secure them. In early July, the SEC approved Grayscale’s application to convert this into a spot ETF. Soon after, the SEC issued a stay order to review this approval. While no specific reason was given, it was speculated that this was due to internal procedural issues.

Responding to this, the company issued a letter highlighting that this decision was harming Grayscale, the Fund, and investors. Financial lawyer and ETF expert Scott Johnsson also added his voice, stating that the product would certainly launch, and it is a matter of when.

Reaction of Assets Involved (BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, ADA)

Following this approval, BTC immediately surged to $117.9k. However, this was short-lived as the asset has now declined to $117.3k. According to market data, BTC has surged by 0.5% in the last 24 hours. As indicated in our recent analysis, BTC is expected to make a steady run to $160k by December 31 once it successfully crosses the $120k level and turns it into support.

ETH, another asset in the basket, has also surged to $4,602. Its 24-hour gain is still up by 2% and its seven-day gain is up by 4%. ETH’s price has been tipped to reach $10,000 this cycle, as we reported earlier.

Similarly, XRP has recorded a 1% gain on its daily price chart and a 2.9% gain on its weekly chart to trade at $3.1. As noted in our earlier post, analysts believe that ETH could peak between $5,000 and $15,000 this cycle.

SOL is currently trading at $246 after surging by 4.6% in the last 24 hours and 10% in the last seven days. For ADA, it is now trading at $0.91 and has recorded gains of 4.1% and 3% in the last 24 hours and seven days respectively. As mentioned in our previous news brief, analysts have predicted that SOL could hit $4000 this cycle.

Vitalik Buterin Reveals Ethereum’s Bold Plan to Stay Quantum-Secure and Simple!

Vitalik Buterin Reveals Ethereum’s Bold Plan to Stay Quantum-Secure and Simple!

Buterin unveils Ethereum’s strategy to tackle quantum security challenges ahead. Ethereum focuses on simplifying architecture while boosting security for users. Ethereum’s market stability grows as Buterin’s roadmap gains investor confidence. Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin has unveiled his long-term vision for the blockchain, focusing on making Ethereum quantum-secure while maintaining its simplicity for users. Buterin presented his roadmap at the Japanese Developer Conference, and splits the future of Ethereum into three phases: short-term, mid-term, and long-term. Buterin’s most ambitious goal for Ethereum is to safeguard the blockchain against the threats posed by quantum computing.  The danger of such future developments is that the future may call into question the cryptographic security of most blockchain systems, and Ethereum will be able to remain ahead thanks to more sophisticated mathematical techniques to ensure the safety and integrity of its protocols. Buterin is committed to ensuring that Ethereum evolves in a way that not only meets today’s security challenges but also prepares for the unknowns of tomorrow.

An important aspect of this vision is to remove unnecessary complexity and make Ethereum more accessible and maintainable without losing its strong security capabilities. Security and simplicity form the core of Buterin’s strategy, as they guarantee that the users of Ethereum experience both security and smooth processes. Focus on Speed and Efficiency in the Short-Term In the short term, Buterin aims to enhance Ethereum’s transaction efficiency, a crucial step toward improving scalability and reducing transaction costs. These advantages are attributed to the fact that, within the mid-term, Ethereum is planning to enhance the speed of transactions in layer-2 networks. According to Butterin, this is part of Ethereum’s expansion, particularly because there is still more need to use blockchain technology to date. The other important aspect of Ethereum’s development is the layer-2 solutions. Buterin supports an approach in which the layer-2 networks are dependent on layer-1 to perform some essential tasks like data security, proof, and censorship resistance. This will enable the layer-2 systems of Ethereum to be concerned with verifying and sequencing transactions, which will improve the overall speed and efficiency of the network. Ethereum’s Market Stability Reflects Confidence in Long-Term Strategy Ethereum’s market performance has remained solid, with the cryptocurrency holding steady above $4,000. Currently priced at $4,492.15, Ethereum has experienced a slight 0.93% increase over the last 24 hours, while its trading volume surged by 8.72%, reaching $34.14 billion. These figures point to growing investor confidence in Ethereum’s long-term vision. The crypto community remains optimistic about Ethereum’s future, with many predicting the price could rise to $5,500 by mid-October. Buterin’s clear, forward-thinking strategy continues to build trust in Ethereum as one of the most secure and scalable blockchain platforms in the market.
