The world’s largest digital asset manager has to publicly list "Class A" stock shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol GRAY, per an S-1 filing with the SEC. This listing is contingent on SEC approval.

What's the Scoop?

  • AUM Leader: Grayscale reported $35B in AUM as of September 30 and estimated a $365B total addressable market across its 45-asset product suite, which includes popular ETF products for BTC and ETH.
  • DCG Retains Control: The Grayscale IPO will adopt a dual-share structure. Parent company Digital Currency Group (DCG) will retain majority voting power with separate Class B shares, which confer no economic rights but have ten votes per share.
  • Tax Optimized: Grayscale will use an Up-C structure to go public, a tax-advantaged structure that allows a company to go public while preserving the preferential tax status of the pre-IPO owners.
