Grayscale Pushes for SEC Approval of Cardano Spot ETF

Grayscale Files for Cardano ETF Approval

Grayscale Investments, a renowned digital asset manager, initiated the filing for a Cardano spot ETF . The SEC has started a 240-day review period, with the final verdict expected by October 22, 2025. Cardano community advocates have been vocally urging for approval on social networks, creating a buoyant environment for ADA.

“Dave, Cardano Community Advocate,” urged the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to approve spot ADA ETFs in the United States.

Grayscale intends to convert its Cardano Trust into a spot ETF, amplifying its existing crypto product reach. The company has reached the formal acknowledgement stage by the SEC, a crucial procedural step in potential ETF approval processes.

Cardano Price Surges Amid SEC Decision Anticipation

Anticipation surrounding the SEC’s decision has resulted in ADA’s price surging significantly, reflecting increased market confidence. Advocacy from network enthusiasts further solidifies community engagement and market enthusiasm.

Approval of Cardano’s ETF would enhance broader asset exposure, potentially emulating Bitcoin’s and Ethereum’s market traction post-ETF approval. An optimistic community sentiment is mirrored in rising ADA trading and investment activities.

Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs Set Precedent

Past approvals of Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs have led to notable price rallies and increased investor exposure. ADA’s situation parallels previous L1 assets’ trajectories, suggesting similar market impacts.

Should the SEC approve Cardano’s ETF, historical data suggests increased inflows and activity, likely enhancing ADA’s visibility. With 71% approval odds noted, investors are hopeful for a positive outcome following historical precedents.

Eric Balchunas, ETF Analyst, Bloomberg, stated, “Approval odds for the Cardano spot ETF jumped from 37% in mid-April to 71% ahead of the original SEC deadline.”
