Grayscale has announced its first ETF: Grayscale Future of Finance ETF

Grayscale Investments has launched its first exchange traded fund. The Grayscale Future of Finance ETF will track the Bloomberg Grayscale Future of Finance Index.


The crypto giant believes that demand will increase, boosting global trade, making the market more efficient and diversifying sources of capital while becoming cost-effective. Grayscale CEO Michael Sonnenshein said in his recent announcement:


“We are proud to announce our first ETF in partnership with Bloomberg as we undertake this strategic expansion of our business. This product builds on our historical strengths while also ushering in the next phase of our evolution as a wealth manager that helps investors build portfolios that can stand the test of time.”


Grayscale, with $38.2 billion in assets under management, said the fund is managed by US Bank and trades under the ticker GFOF. Foreside Fund Services, LLC is the distributor of the ETF. Dave Gedeon, Global Head of Multi-Asset Indices at Bloomberg, said he was excited to work with the crypto giant, adding:


"Powered by our own data combined with robust research from Bloomberg Intelligence, the Bloomberg Grayscale Future of Finance Index has the potential to become the most important equity benchmark for our ever-evolving digital economy."


The ETF does not invest in cryptocurrencies directly or through derivatives, but may gain indirect exposure through the companies in which it invests. Top holdings at inception include PayPal Holdings (PYPL) at 9.65%, Coinbase Global (COIN) at 8.30%, Silvergate Capital (SI) at 7.97%, and Robinhood (HOOD) at 7.84 %.



Separately, Grayscale is still awaiting US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approval to convert its flagship Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) into a bitcoin spot ETF.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin

MSP Recovery and Tokenology aim to optimize healthcare with the help of Polygon

  MSP Recovery LLC, a Miami, US-based healthcare provider with an estimated enterprise value of $32.6 billion, is partnering with Web3 company Tokenology to jointly launch a new blockchain platform called Lifechain. Lifechain wants to leverage the verifiable and transparent nature of blockchain technology to aggregate medical care claims, medical expense reports and patient data and streamline their processing. For this purpose, MSP Recovery launched its own LifeWallet in January, which already has 1 million users. In addition to the wallet and blockchain platform, an associated crypto token called LifeCoin is also used. The press release explains that the primary purpose of the system is to enable secondary healthcare providers to more effectively bill health insurance companies for their costs. “The number of medical claims tokenized going forward will surpass $50 million per day by 2024. For this we need scalability, security and sustainability, which we have only found with Polygon

British financial regulator criticizes cooperation between Binance and Paysafe

  The British financial regulator FCA has expressed concerns about the partnership between market-leading crypto exchange Binance and payment service provider Paysafe. As the British regulator complains, the partnership gives Binance access to the influential British payment network Faster Payments Service (FPS), from which the crypto exchange was previously cut off. Last June, the FCA ordered Binance to stop all business activities in Great Britain. As a result, prominent banks such as Barclays have terminated their cooperation with the leading crypto trading platform . Through the cooperation with Paysafe, Binance can now again offer deposits in British pounds sterling and transactions within the European Payments Area (SEPA). However, this fact is a thorn in the side of the FCA, as it classifies the crypto exchange as a “considerable risk factor”. However, the financial regulator sees little room for maneuver to counteract this, as the Financial Times reports . “ Paysafe understands
