Sherman has highlighted investors’ concerns regarding the massive discount that GBTC is currently trading at. The lawmaker also questioned the role of Grayscale’s parent firm Digital Currency Group in GBTC’s decline. https://www.investing.com/news/...o-look-into-grayscales-gbtc-3081520 According to Sherman, as many as 850,000 retail investors, including some who used individual retirement account funds, are currently trapped in their GBTC investments due to the actions of GBTC and its parent company, Digital Currency Group (DCG). Sherman estimates that these investors' retirement security and in some cases, their life savings, may be at risk and that if the situation is not remedied, they could lose tens of billions of dollars of their savings. https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/...air-calling-attention-to-grayscale

House of Commons Treasury Committee: Regulating Crypto
Consumer speculation in unbacked cryptoassets such as Bitcoin and Ether is one area where we have particular concerns, and think the Government needs to take a different approach in order to better protect consumers from harm. Unbacked cryptoassets have no intrinsic value, and their price volatility exposes consumers to the potential for substantial gains or losses, while serving no useful social purpose. These characteristics more closely resemble gambling than a financial service, an impression reinforced by the evidence we have received of consumer behaviour. We are concerned that regulating retail trading and investment activity in unbacked cryptoassets as a financial service will create a ‘halo’ effect that leads consumers to believe that this activity is safer than it is, or protected when it is not. We therefore strongly recommend that the Government regulates retail trading and investment activity in unbacked cryptoassets as gambling rather than as a financial service, consistent with its stated principle of ‘same risk, same regulatory outcome’.
