Doing a thread on the situation for @Grayscale's spinoff for $ETHE & $ETH because I've gotten about a million questions on it. The mechanics will be essentially the same for $GBTC & $BTC spinoff. If you own 1,000 shares of $ETHE, you should receive 1,000 shares of mini $ETH. 1/ Image
2/ This should occur on July 23rd for $ETHE & $ETH. For $GBTC & $BTC it should occur on July 31st.
Image
Image
3/ Importantly, in order to get those share distributions you need to be the owner fo record for those shares on the record date. For $ETHE that was 7/18, for $GBTC that is 7/30.

Okay too many questions about #Bitcoin ETFs and zero flows -- a few quick thoughts:

1. On any given day, the vast majority of ETFs will have a flow number of ZERO -- this is very normal. There are ~3,500 ETFs in the US. Yesterday 2,903 of them had a flow of exactly zero
2. Shares are created or destroyed in creation units. This ONLY happens when there is a mismatch in supply in demand. And that mismatch has to be large enough to justify tapping the underlying market and a ~bigger mismatch than a creation unit.
3. Creation units are the lots that ETF shares are created and redeemed in. Every ETF can have a different sized creation unit. In the case of the spot #Bitcoin ETFs they are blocks of shares ranging from 5,000 shares to 50,000 shares.

It’s happening! @Grayscale just filed to launch the “Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust” expecting this to have a competitive fee. It will trade under the ticker $BTC and will come from a spinoff from $GBTC. This means $GBTC holders will get some % of holdings spun off into $BTC. Image
Here’s the language around the spinoff. There is no fee disclosed yet orrr what % of $GBTC will spin off but pretty sure this will be a non-taxable event for a chunk of those shares to get into a cheaper and cost competitive product. Image
First spoke about the potential that they would do this back in 2021.

Wrote about the FTX bankruptcy estate position and sales yesterday. Mainly how they were likely impacting more than just $GBTC Image
$BITW specifically looks like it got hit by a big seller (logical to guess it was FTX) Image
Also. Everyone was fixated on FTX in the last week as *THE* seller of $GBTC shares. The largest "known" holder of GBTC is actually DCG itself. I'd honestly be surprised if DCG hasn't been part of this GBTC selling. Probably other institutions in very similar situations Image

UPDATE: They're just pouring in. We have another spot #Bitcoin ETF S-1 (prospectus) amendment tonight. This one is from @BlackRock. SEC is obviously giving multiple issuers the same or very similar instructions. Image
@BlackRock This one dropped 65 minutes earlier than BlackRock:
What does this mean? Without having read them -- it just means that the wheel is still turning. Both the SEC and these issuers are working hard to iron things out. These filings are likely the result of many conversations and a lot of man hours on/between both sides.
