Three Grayscale ETF registrations for planned altcoin products were withdrawn in filings accepted just 190 seconds apart on Aug. 7.<\/p>\n

The sequence began with the Grayscale Cardano Trust ETF<\/a> at 4:33:37 p.m. ET, followed by the Grayscale Hedera Trust ETF<\/a> at 4:34:55 p.m. and the Grayscale Polkadot Trust ETF<\/a> at 4:36:47 p.m., according to EDGAR filing records.<\/p>\n

\"Infographic<\/a><\/p>\n

The Cardano<\/a>, Hedera<\/a> and Polkadot<\/a> Form RWs give the same operative explanation: Grayscale does not intend to proceed with the proposed distribution of shares. The requests also state that the registration statements had not been declared effective, that no securities had been or would be issued or sold under them, and that no preliminary prospectus had been distributed.<\/p>\n

The documents are requests to withdraw the three S-1 registration statements under Rule 477, not SEC orders rejecting the proposed ETFs. They provide no separate commercial or regulatory reason for ending the registrations.<\/p>\n\n

The related product-specific exchange rule proposals were already inactive. SEC records show NYSE Arca withdrew the Cardano proposal<\/a> on Sept. 29, 2025, while Nasdaq's records list the Polkadot<\/a> and Hedera<\/a> proposals as withdrawn on Nov. 3, 2025.<\/p>\n\n

Those proposals covered whether an exchange could list and trade the products, while the three Grayscale ETF registrations covered the proposed public offering of their shares. The Aug. 7 withdrawals were therefore a separate step that removes the current registration statements.<\/p>\n

The SEC had approved generic exchange listing standards<\/a> for qualifying commodity-based trust shares in September 2025. Eligible spot digital-asset products can use those standards without a product-specific Section 19(b) proposal, but the change did not make a registration statement effective or eliminate Securities Act requirements.<\/p>\n

Other Grayscale ETF registrations remain preliminary<\/h2>\n

Other proposed Grayscale altcoin registrations remain at an earlier stage.<\/p>\n

As of an Aug. 8 review of EDGAR records, registration statements for proposed Bittensor<\/a>, Aave<\/a> and BNB<\/a> exchange-traded products remained preliminary and had not become effective.<\/p>\n

Cited registration statements for proposed NEAR<\/a> and Zcash<\/a> products also remained preliminary. That status does not establish exchange approval or launch readiness.<\/p>\n

Two Grayscale altcoin staking products<\/a> had reached a later registration milestone. The SEC declared the registration statements for the Grayscale Avalanche Staking ETF<\/a> and Grayscale Hyperliquid Staking ETF<\/a> effective on March 11 and June 2, respectively. The effectiveness notices alone do not establish when either product began trading.<\/p>\n\n

The withdrawals reduce the number of Grayscale ETF registrations while leaving other filings at different stages. Because the requests state no motive beyond the decision not to proceed, they do not show whether demand, regulation or another consideration drove the withdrawals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
