Grayscale wins D.C. Circuit appeal; SEC order denying GBTC ETF conversion vacated
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals granted Grayscale's petition and vacated the SEC's June 2022 order denying GBTC conversion to an ETF.
- Court ruled SEC failed to explain why it approved bitcoin futures ETPs but not Grayscale's spot bitcoin ETP, calling it 'unlawful regulatory treatment'.
- GBTC shares (OTCQX: GBTC) are one step closer to listing on NYSE Arca as a spot Bitcoin ETF.
- Grayscale CEO Michael Sonnenshein called it a 'historic milestone' and said firm will work with SEC on next steps.
