Grayscale Investments, the world’s biggest digital asset management, has partnered with BNY Mellon, America’s oldest bank. As a result, beginning later this year, the banking behemoth will offer fund accounting and administration to the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust.
Grayscale Partners With BNY Mellon
The firm, which manages more than $30 billion in digital assets, said on Tuesday that beginning October 1st, 2021, BNY Mellon would become an official partner with numerous services aimed at the company’s largest fund.
Specifically, the oldest US bank will “provide fund accounting and administration to the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust.”
The new agreement lays the foundations for BNY Mellon’s involvement in Grayscale’s efforts to prepare GBTC into a Bitcoin ETF.
“Involving BNY Mellon is a key milestone in our goal to transforming Grayscale Bitcoin Trust into an ETF,” Sonnenshein stated in a news statement. “BNY Mellon has a long history of being a reliable supplier, and it was one of the first to develop a staff devoted to servicing the expanding digital currency asset class.”
On an edition of The Scoop, Sonnenshein first revealed Grayscale’s ambitions to convert its GBTC product into an ETF.
