Spot Cardano ETF In Limelight

Earlier this week on Aug. 12, crypto asset manager Grayscale Investments registered the “Grayscale Cardano Trust ETF” in Delaware, signaling a major step toward launching a spot Cardano ETF.

The filing aligns with Grayscale’s typical approach of creating Delaware trusts ahead of formal applications to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The development comes as the SEC reviews NYSE Arca’s 19b-4 filing for a spot Cardano ETF. On the other hand, the Polymarket data shows that there’s an 80% chance for spot Cardano ETF approval by the year-end.

On the other hand, on-chain data shows that long-term Cardano holders are holding their ADA coins firmly. Data from Alpharactal indicates that Cardano (ADA) long-term holders have been steadily accumulating the token since 2021, with no significant signs of distribution. This trend reflects strong confidence in Cardano’s long-term growth and a commitment to holding through market volatility.
