James Seyffart and his team have been providing updates on the approval and launch of various cryptocurrency ETFs. A significant development is the approval order for Grayscale's Digital Large Cap Fund to convert into an ETF, although a stay has been put on its ability to launch. Seyffart has also raised the odds of spot crypto ETF filings being approved to XX% or higher due to positive engagement from the SEC.
