Grayscale Investments’ Bitcoin Cash Trust and Litecoin Trust have been approved by the U.S. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) for public quotations.

Grayscale’ Publicly Traded OfferingsGrayscale Investments announced Monday that shares of two of its cryptocurrency trusts have been approved for public quotations by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). Shares of Grayscale Bitcoin Cash Trust and Grayscale Litecoin Trust will be quoted on OTC Markets under the symbols BCHG and LTCN respectively. The company says that they are “the first publicly-quoted securities in the U.S. deriving value from bitcoin cash (BCH) and litecoin (LTC).”
The trusts have offered a private placement to accredited investors since March 2018. They are not registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). “There will be no trading volume in the shares’ public quotations until the respective shares are DTC eligible, which BCHG and LTCN are expected to receive soon,” Grayscale emphasized, elaborating:
Investors will be able to buy and sell freely-tradable BCHG [bitcoin cash] and LTCN [litecoin] shares through their investment accounts in the same manner as they would other unregistered securities.
