GBTC Intro
GBTC stands for ‘Grayscale Bitcoin Trust’. GBTC is a trust product that allows investors to invest indirectly in Bitcoin. A trust is when the owner of an asset entrusts the management of the asset to someone they can trust. GBTC is a stock issued by a trust company, not a crypto coin. Investors who purchase trust products from Grayscale will receive a GBTC Trust Deed.
GBTC Management
Most people think that GBTC is only managed in grayscale. However, the operation of GBTC is divided into 3 parts according to US regulations, because if one company operates arbitrarily, tyranny can occur.
·GBTC Management: Grayscale
·GBTC Trust: Delaware Trust
·Cryptocurrency Custody: Coinbase Custody
GBTC Unlock
Investors who purchase GBTC will be locked up for 6 months. Therefore, after 6 months, by unlocking, investors can sell GBTC to others. However, in accordance with the regulations of the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) and FINRA (National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.), trading is possible only on Over-The-Counter (OTC) platforms.
