According to Nate Geraci, president of The ETF Store, the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund (GDLC) ETF could be next in line to gain approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As reported by U.Today, the leading cryptocurrency-native asset manager originally filed to convert the fund into an ETF product last October.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has postponed making a decision on 21Shares’s proposal to launch a spot-based XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF). The holders of the token should not read too much into this delay, given that this is simply a standard practice for the agency. The SEC actually has multiple windows to eventually make a decision regarding a certain ETF proposal. The review period can last up to a total of 240 days. During this period, the SEC collects opinions from the public and analyzes pertinent data. The 21Shares filing was originally submitted on March 11. This means…

While the US is leading in Bitcoin accumulation and hashrate distribution, the UAE is starting to develop into a rather big player in the global Bitcoin ecosystem, especially in the Middle East. Officially, the US holds the most Bitcoin with more than 207k in its fold, but some reports suggest that the UAE holds approximately 420k Bitcoin, valued at around $46 billion. However, there are no official sources to support the claim, as this is more of a rumor that’s been spreading around. Even Changpeng Zhao (former CEO of Binance) shared this news last year on X but eventually deleted…

DappRadar says there’s still a healthy interest in digital collectibles, but there’s been a “sharp drop” in the average prices paid.
