United States regulators are reviewing a request to list the first exchange-traded fund (ETF) to hold a diverse basket of cryptocurrencies, including several altcoins, asset manager Grayscale said on Nov. 4.
On Oct. 29, securities exchange NYSE Arca asked the Securities and Exchange Commission for permission to list shares of Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund (GDLC).
GDLC holds approximately $534 million in assets under management (AUM) as of Nov. 4, according to Grayscale’s website.

Grayscale filed to convert the fund into an ETF on Oct. 16, only days before NYSE’s filing.
On Nov. 4, the NYSE’s requested rule change was published in the federal register, starting a 240-day clock for the SEC to decide whether to clear the ETF for trading.
Grayscale faces competition from other proposed index funds, including those from asset managers Hashdex and Franklin Templeton, but GDLC is unique in including altcoins such as SOL, AVAX and XRP.
The Hashdex and Franklin Templeton funds aim to initially hold only BTC and ETH.

Industry analysts say crypto index ETFs are the next big focus for issuers after ETFs holding BTC and ETH listed in January and July, respectively.
“Grayscale and NYSE Arca have taken a thoughtful approach toward developing a proposed ruleset to permit the listing and trading of shares of multi-crypto asset ETPs within the SEC’s existing standard,” David LaValle, Grayscale’s global head of ETFs, said in a statement.
