This seems to lend credence to the rumors that Grayscale may convert their Trust to an ETF, or at least create an separate bitcoin ETF altogether. Hmm.
I am not familiar with the Trust regulations also, but I bet that they have a horde of well-paid lawyers who can counsel them more than adequately on the matter, so if they are bidding those shares, I am pretty sure they can.
Regarding the ETF hiring, well, the conversion of their trust in an ETF would be more than logical.
The only thing is that I find these job listing a little bit too... clear... like they want to send a message to someone else. I guess they have all those competence already in their staff.
