The lawsuit verdict effectively granted the approval of application to convert the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust into a spot Bitcoin ETF. However, it is not clear yet as to what would be a timeline for the spot Bitcoin ETF approval, considering that the US SEC may choose to appeal the judgment.

Bitcoin Exchange Supply Spike Before The Verdict

On-chain data showed that around 30,000 BTC was sent to crypto exchanges prior to the Grayscale lawsuit victory announcement earlier on Tuesday, August 29, 2023, taking the total available supply to 1.16 million $BTC. This raises the question of whether the big whales have placed the trades in anticipation of a positive ruling or they knew of the Grayscale win before the judgment.

According to market intelligence platform Santiment, the exchange supply of Bitcoin was boosted significantly prior to the judgment. Meanwhile, the Grayscale discount improved from -40% to -24% currently.
