One of the cryptocurrency-related Trusts to have come into focus in recent weeks due to the rising price of Bitcoin is that of the investment vehicle Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTCMKTS:GBTC). Back on August 17, the Grayscale stock emerged as one of the biggest gainers in the market despite the overall market being largely flat.
Recent Developments
As a matter of fact, it emerged as one of the biggest gainers on the OTC, surging by as much as 10% to hit a new 52-week high. However, we must note that the rally in the Grayscale stock was largely driven by the stellar performance recorded by Bitcoin at the time.
At the time Bitcoin had recorded gains of as much as 70% in the year but on that particular day, the world’s biggest cryptocurrency had only gained 4%. Hence, the rally in the stock might have had involved some other factors as well.
One of the things that need to be mentioned in this regard is that at the time the company had launched two new investment trusts that were going to be denominated in Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash. The addition of two new trusts is possibly going to help in higher trading volumes and provide a major boost to Grayscale as a whole.
