The coverage treats Grayscale’s updated S-1 like a routine milestone on the march toward another shiny crypto product. That framing assumes the only question is whether regulators can process paperwork fast enough, not whether the public benefits from yet another speculative wrapper.
Conservatives should be clear-eyed: an ETF structure does not magically turn a volatile token into a sound asset.
