The SEC delayed decisions on two crypto ETFs and opened public comments on options tied to a Grayscale multi-asset crypto fund. The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) extended its decision deadline on two crypto-related exchange-traded funds (ETFs), while opening a comment window on options tied to a third in three separate filing decisions released Monday. In separate Federal Register notices, the SEC designated a longer period to consider proposed rule changes that would allow the listing of the Canary Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) ETF on Cboe BZX and the T. Rowe Price Active Crypto ETF on NYSE Arca. Both filings fall under the SEC’s standard 19b‑4 process, which lets it extend the initial decision window by up to 45 days while it evaluates market structure, investor protection and manipulation concerns.

Grayscale registered Delaware trusts linked to potential BNB and HYPE ETPs, an early step that often precedes but does not guarantee ETF filings. Asset manager Grayscale has taken an early step toward expanding its crypto investment lineup by forming new Delaware statutory trusts tied to potential products linked to BNB and HYPE, according to state records. According to Delaware records, the trusts were registered on Thursday. They list CSC Delaware Trust Company as their registered agent. Such trust formations are common preparatory steps for asset managers considering exchange-traded fund (ETF) launches before filing official applications at the US Securities and Exchange Commission, but they do not indicate any regulatory approvals or confirm that filings have been submitted.  The inclusion of BNB (BNB) and Hyperliquid (HYPE) stands out, as most US-listed crypto ETFs tend to focus on Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH), with only a handful of altcoin-linked products gaining ground.  Read more

The cash distribution stems from staking rewards earned after the fund enabled Ethereum staking in October. Grayscale has declared a staking rewards distribution for its Ethereum Staking exchange-traded fund (ETF), the first time a US-listed spot crypto exchange-traded product (ETP) has scheduled a payout tied to onchain staking activity. Grayscale Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHE) shareholders will receive about $0.08 per share from proceeds of the sale of staking rewards, with the payout scheduled for Tuesday based on holdings recorded at market close on Monday, according to a press release published on Monday. Grayscale activated staking for its Ethereum products on Oct. 6, with staking conducted through institutional custodians and third-party validator providers. The move made ETHE and Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust ETF (ETH) the first US-listed spot crypto ETPs to gain exposure to Ether staking.

Grayscale said macro pressure and clearer US regulations are setting the stage for crypto’s next bull market in 2026. Demand for alternative stores of value and clearer regulations are driving what could become crypto’s next bull market, according to Grayscale. Speaking on CNBC’s “Crypto World,” Grayscale’s head of research Zach Pandl said Monday that the strongest driver remains macroeconomic pressure. Increasing government debt, persistent fiscal deficits and concerns over fiat currency debasement are pushing investors to look beyond traditional assets. “There’s a lot of things happening in crypto ... but the biggest asset in the market, Bitcoin, is driven because of demand for alternative stores of value because of debt and deficits and the risk of fiat currency debasement,” he said.

Grayscale said Bitcoin’s 2025 sell-off looks like a local bottom, not a new cycle peak, with Fed policy and US crypto bills key for 2026. Bitcoin’s latest pullback may already be bottoming out, with asset manager Grayscale arguing that the market is on track to break the traditional four-year halving cycle and potentially set new all-time highs in 2026. Some indicators are already pointing to a local bottom, not a prolonged drawdown, including Bitcoin’s (BTC) elevated option skew rising above 4, which signals that investors have already hedged “extensively” for downside exposure. Despite a 32% decline, Bitcoin is on track to disrupt the traditional four-year halving cycle, wrote Grayscale in a Monday research report. “Although the outlook is uncertain, we believe the four-year cycle thesis will prove to be incorrect, and that Bitcoin’s price will potentially make new highs next year,” the report said.

According to data from Nansen, the price of ZEC increased by more than 50% in the past 30 days and by 1,050% in the past 12 months, reaching $519.62 at the time of publication. Read more

Grayscale says Chainlink will anchor the next phase of blockchain adoption, positioning LINK as the core infrastructure powering tokenization. Grayscale has said that Chainlink will be at the center of the next major phase of blockchain adoption, referring to the project as the “critical connective tissue” that links crypto to traditional finance. In a recent research report, the asset manager argued that Chainlink (LINK)’s growing suite of software tools is emerging as essential infrastructure for tokenization, crosschain settlement and the broader shift toward real-world assets on blockchain rails. “A more accurate description of Chainlink today would be modular middleware that lets on-chain applications safely use off-chain data, interact across blockchains, and meet enterprise-grade compliance needs,” Grayscale wrote.
