NYSE American just submitted an SEC filing on January 7, 2026, seeking approval to launch options trading on Grayscale's diversified crypto ETF. This marks a significant move toward broader derivatives access in regulated crypto investment products.

As of January 6, 2026, the fund maintains a strategic allocation across major digital assets: Bitcoin dominates at 74.89%, positioning it as the core holding for store-of-value exposure. Ethereum captures 15.89%, reflecting exposure to smart contract infrastructure and DeFi protocols. XRP rounds out the top positions within the diversified portfolio.

The options approval—if greenlit—would give institutional and retail traders new hedging and income strategies on one of the industry's most recognized crypto investment vehicles. For the crypto market, this signals continued institutional maturation and regulatory acceptance of digital asset derivatives.

BTC0,13%

ETH0,44%

XRP0,09%

Graybit options are here, giving institutional players another arbitrage opportunity. Retail investors should be careful not to get caught off guard.

The grayscale options are here, are we about to get cut again? --- BTC占比74，这是把鸡蛋放一个篮子啊 --- Wait, XRP also made it into the top three? When did that happen? --- Does institutional entry mean it will rise? I don't buy that. --- Hedging strategies sound good, but the fees are quite high. --- The real question is, can retail investors use these tools? --- SEC approved it again? This time so smoothly. --- It's good to be optimistic, but don't get carried away and go all-in, everyone.

Is the grayscale options coming? Are institutions really going to make crypto like traditional finance? If you ask me, if this passes, it will truly change the game... but could it just be another new way to trap retail investors? Is the 74% share of BTC too conservative... ETH at only 15% still feels a bit unfair.

Is the grayscale options coming? The rhythm of institutions bottom-fishing The bull market signal is becoming more and more obvious, with BTC accounting for nearly 75% and still daring to play derivatives... Wait, can this really pass SEC approval this time? What happened to those applications last time? Retail investors have new ways to play, but with risks... As soon as options open, someone immediately gets liquidated. I bet five Dogecoins. If this gets approved, the pace of institutional entry will be even more aggressive. What percentage does XRP hold in this? Feels like it’s been overlooked by Solve. Legalization of derivatives = legalization of institutional leek, everyone, it’s time to face the truth.

Grayscale options are here, and institutions are looking for new ways to harvest retail investors again --- 74% of BTC allocation, this is Grayscale's confidence --- Another "regulation-friendly" signal, wake up everyone --- Is it just about launching options? I’m looking forward to the show --- Does XRP have such a weak presence here? Haha --- Rising institutional maturity = a new tool to harvest retail investors? Just thinking about it is exciting --- The SEC is really gradually accepting derivatives, this is a big deal

74.89% BTC 15.89% ETH... This configuration's numbers are precise to two decimal places, which feels a bit obsessive-compulsive, but I like it. The key is how the liquidity depth will evolve after the options go live—that's the core issue.
