“The introductory application is the first significant document submitted to the court that explains the legal basis of our arguments,” the company said.

According to Grayscale Investments, the Commission “Arbitrarily” and “Discriminatively” considers applications for spot-bitcoin -etf, unlike futures options. The SEC reference to the non -compliance with the requirements for “preventing fraudulent and manipulative actions” in the company is considered “deeply erroneous”.

“Our converting application [Trust] GBTC in Bitcoin-ETF satisfies the requirements of the relevant law,” the statement said.

Grayscale Investments lawyers emphasized that the position of the regulator is inconsistent and unfair.

8/ Our legal team argues that there is only one reasonable conclusion to draw: that the SEC is arbitrarily treating spot #Bitcoin ETFs with “special harshness” – inconsistently and unfairly compared to other types of investment vehicles without adequate justification.

“The commission violated the most basic requirements [of the Law on Administrative Procedures], not managing to justify its completely different attitude to the futures and spotov bitcoin-mutp,” Grayscale concluded.

SEC should give an objection to the introductory application on November 9.

On October 19, 2021, GrayScale sent an application for the transformation of the Bitcoin gap GBTC to the exchange fund based on a spare price of cryptocurrency.

December 17, SEC postponed the decision on the statement of Grayscale Investments. In February 2022, the commission took this step again. On June 30, the company sued the regulator after the final deviation of its documents.
