American asset management firm Grayscale Investments has appointed Peter Mintzberg as its new CEO following the departure of former CEO Michael Sonnenshein. Mintzberg, with a background in finance from Goldman Sachs and BlackRock, is tasked with growing the firm's products, particularly addressing the outflow from its spot Bitcoin ETF, GBTC. The firm's Ethereum ETF also experienced significant outflows.
Mintzberg's appointment is expected to initiate a competitive shakeup and potentially lead the firm to consider other crypto products like spot Solana ETF or an XRP ETF. Additionally, Grayscale recently announced the launch of its MakerDAO Trust, a new single-asset cryptocurrency investment fund through private placement.
Grayscale is experiencing numerous outflows from its spot Bitcoin ETF product – GBTC. For the last few months, the outflows have consistently increased, outpacing inflows from other spot Bitcoin ETFs. While the GBTC product has recorded over 19,548 BTC outflow, its Ethereum ETF crossed $2 billion outflow earlier this month.
A few days ago, the firm’s Ethereum ETF ended its 19-day outflow streak, triggering a significant improvement for Ether ETFs. On August 12, the ETF saw neither inflow nor outflow, suggesting a potential shift in investor stance.
In the case of GBTC, many market observers opined that the high management fee contributed to its outflows and decline in investors' interest. Considering that the BlackRock rival capped the fee for its Mini Ethereum Trust ETF at 0.15%, the expectation is that it would see better results. So far, the Grayscale Ethereum ETF has only seen slightly better results.
With Mintzberg coming on board, eyes are on him to enact policies that might reverse this negative trend. He could also lead the firm into considering other crypto products like spot Solana ETF or even an XRP ETF. There is no denying that Grayscale is committed to expanding its crypto footprint. On Tuesday, it announced the launch of its MakerDAO Trust, a new single-asset cryptocurrency investment fund through private placement.
