Grayscale ETF Pivot

After continual rejection from a Bitcoin ETF and a NAV of close to -(50)%, Grayscale is considering pivoting to a tender offer. This comes after owing its customers $900 million, some say due to the exposure to FTX.

Initially, the solution was to create an ETF to fix the NAV issues. But since they have been continually rejected, they are suggesting a tender offer, where purchasing back the shareholder's stock would be the solution.
