(*6952cd93*):: The rules around share issuance and redemptions for GBTC are so screwed. They can’t do both at the same time- there has to be a 6 month period between when they offer issuances and when they offer redemptions. And if they offer redemptions now the market might just pull out everything and send AUM to zero without them being able to issue anything to add back to AUM. It’s almost like the SEC set them up to fail in 2016. If they could just convert to an ETF a lot of the BS would go away. https://www.coindesk.com/business/2022/12/13/grayscale-bitcoin-trust-discount-reaches-record-50/ +public!
