Alameda Research Withdraws Grayscale Lawsuit Amid GBTC Transition

Alameda Research Withdraws Grayscale Lawsuit Amid GBTC Transition

Alameda Research Ltd., an affiliate of now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX, has voluntarily withdrawn its lawsuit against Grayscale Investments. This development comes amid significant outflows after Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) was converted to an exchange-traded fund (ETF).

The lawsuit, which began in March 2023, accuses Grayscale of extracting more than $1.3 billion in excessive management fees, violating trust agreements, and denying investors redemption rights for its Bitcoin and Ethereum trusts. Alameda Research aimed to create shareholder value of more than $9 billion and recover significant assets for FTX’s debtors and creditors.

Grayscale, led by CEO Michael Sonnenshein and under Barry Silbert’s Digital Currency Group (DCG), has faced allegations of suppressing its stock price through high fees and a ban on buybacks. The charges were part of Alameda’s broader effort to recover funds for FTX customers harmed by the exchange’s collapse.

The recent decision to withdraw the lawsuit is consistent with significant changes to GBTC’s operating structure. In early January 2024, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved converting Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust into an ETF, allowing for easier share buybacks. This conversion resulted in a significant outflow of approximately $2.8 billion from GBTC. On a related note, FTX reportedly sold over $1 billion in GBTC stock.

A Grayscale spokesperson emphasized that Alameda’s voluntary dismissal underlined their position that the company was not worthy of legal action. GBTC’s conversion to an ETF and withdrawal of the lawsuit marks a pivotal moment in the cryptocurrency industry, reshaping investor dynamics and legal precedent.

Alameda’s withdrawal from the lawsuit comes against the backdrop of FTX’s ongoing bankruptcy proceedings, which face thousands of customer claims totaling $16 billion. Recent developments provide a glimpse into the complex interplay of legal, financial and regulatory aspects in the evolving world of cryptocurrency investments.
