Grayscale Investments today announced that it is splitting the stock of its Grayscale EthereumEthereum Trust, likely to make it more affordable to retail investors priced out by the cryptocurrencycryptocurrency market's boom.
On December 14, Grayscale will split the shares of the Trust, which holds $1.6 billion assets under management, by 9 to 1. Anyone who currently owns shares in Grayscale will receive 8 extra shares.
This will collapse the price of each share but makes no difference to the overall value of the fund.
The Grayscale Ethereum Trust is the closest thing to a Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Fund. The fund, which is listed on the stock market, represents shares in a pool of private investors’ money, which Grayscale had used to buy Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap.
But the share price of the Grayscale Ethereum Trust, which loosely represents a fraction of the price of Ethereum (plus a hefty premium, the result of Grayscale’s management fees), has risen this year, from $60 per share to its current price, $109.
There appear to be two reasons for the rise:
First, the price of Ethereum has risen from about $340 at the start of October to highs of $635, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Second, Grayscale has bought a whole lot of Ethereum this year, meaning that there’s more ETH to each share.
So, if the price of ETH keeps rising, smaller fish (known as retail investors) might be unable to afford an investment in the fund.
The number one reason for a stock split is to make the share more affordable for retail.
given, the share managed to 10x its lowest price in 2020, their is a big indicator as to the ETH price expectancy going into 2021 https://t.co/mLSEgZbMI0— Ma/ya Zehavi (@mayazi) December 2, 2020
Grayscale has split stocks before. In January 2018, as Bitcoin was on its downward crash (who knew back then?). Grayscale split its stock by 91 to 1, meaning that investors would receive an extra 90 shares. Then, Grayscale’s fund was worth $3.19 billion. Now, it has a market cap of $12.8 billion.

Your grandma may never fully comprehend Bitcoin, but she probably understands why an apartment building has value, according to real estate entrepreneur Grant Cardone.

The company, Cardone Capital in south Florida, has $5 billion in assets under management. “You live in it, you rent it, you drive by it,...

Wall Street giant JP Morgan plans to allow its wealthy clients to use shares in crypto ETFs, like BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust, as collateral for loans. Unnamed sources familiar with the matter told Bloomberg, who first reported the news, that the bank will also begin taking crypto holdings into account when assessing clients' net worth and liquid assets. This would mean that crypto gets the same treatment as real estate and vehicles when assessing a client's ability to repay a loan. "We ca...
