Asset manager Grayscale files for US IPO
The registration statement was made public about four months after the asset manager had filed confidentially for an initial public offering.
Grayscale Investments, an asset management company specializing in digital asset investments, has filed a registration statement as part of the process for going public on US markets.
In a Thursday filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, Grayscale said it intended to list shares of its Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol GRAY. The company said the initial price would be determined “through a directed share program” to investors in its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF and Grayscale Ethereum Trust ETF.
The Form S-1 filing was part of the process for the asset management company to go public, but it was not yet effective. Based on the SEC’s record of approvals, it could take anywhere from weeks to months before the registration statement becomes effective and the company prepares to list its shares.
