In its latest report, Arkham Intelligence found that Grayscale has accumulated Ethereum worth around $5 billion. Grayscale seems to have hit all the right notes in its crypto symphony as it nears the launch of its spot Bitcoin ETF after winning the lawsuit against the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
It might not come as a surprise as Grayscale’s Ethereum Trust Fund is among the top-rated crypto funds in the industry. Grayscale’s $4.7 billion ETH holdings make Ethereum Trust Fund second-largest Ethereum Entity on the planet. The Ethereum price has slumped since Grayscale’s investment causing a slight correction in the initial investment worth $5 billion dollars.

Will Victory Against The SEC Improve Grayscales Holdings?
Grayscale holds nearly $60 million in its Bitcoin Cash Trust and about $179 million in the Ethereum Classic Trust. The Grayscale Litecoin Trust is another massive fund with about $94.2 million. As the list goes on, these holdings are just the tip of the Iceberg in the Grayscale portfolio.
Considering Grayscale’s victory against the SEC, it is bound for the Asset Management Firm to start accumulating more Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in its holdings.
The SEC still has 40 days to appeal the loss it faced against Grayscale in the Washington D.C court or move to the Supreme Court. However, till the SEC makes any move it is all speculation about how the major asset management firms will strategize their ETF applications.
