(Equiniti is being acquired by Bullish, CoinDesk’s parent company.) Computershare, Equiniti and Broadridge together serve nearly 5,000 listed companies, including almost 99% of the S&P 500. Broadridge will also provide onchain shareholder voting and governance, letting investors vote through supported digital wallets, brokerage platforms or its existing ProxyVote system.

Of the 62 companies OKXICE first picked, 43 — about 69% — have now objected, and 19 have no disclosed objection, including Apple, Amazon, Tesla, Netflix, Palantir and Coinbase. That isn’t the same as an endorsement. With the 30-day response window ending around Tuesday for companies notified on Oct. 4, OKXICE co-chair Andrew Cuomo says he expects more companies to take part as the benefits of tokenization become better understood. 3-minute read → A message from Grayscale Your digital asset holdings could be working harder for you. With in-kind transfers available across 10 Grayscale products, eligible investors can exchange their crypto tokens for shares of the corresponding product — without first selling for cash. Three core features of in-kind investing: Put holdings to work. Shares may be eligible for use as margin or collateral. Where listed options are available, they may also help hedge exposure or generate income. Bring investments together. Incorporate crypto exposure into portfolio management and estate planning, including beneficiary designations. Simplify safekeeping. Underlying assets are held by institutional cusodians, reducing the burden of storing crypto and managing private keys. LEARN MORE Grayscale Exchange Traded Products (the “ETPs”) are not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (40 Act) and therefore are not subject to the same regulations and protections as 40 Act registered ETFs and mutual funds. The ETPs are subject to significant risk, heightened volatility, and are not suitable for all investors. An investment in the ETPs is not a direct investment in any cryptocurrency. Extreme volatility of trading prices that many digital assets have experienced in recent periods, and may continue to experience, could have a material adverse effect on the value of the Fund and the shares could lose all or substantially all of their value. Digital assets represent a new and rapidly evolving industry. The value of the ETPs depends on the acceptance of digital assets, the capabilities and development of blockchain technologies and the fundamental investment characteristics of the digital asset. Digital asset networks are developed by a diverse set of contributors and the perception that certain high-profile contributors will no longer contribute to the network could have an adverse effect on the market price of the related digital asset. Digital assets may have concentrated ownership and large sales or distributions by holders of such digital assets could have an adverse effect on the market price of such digital assets. Converting tokens in kind into Grayscale’s spot crypto ETPs may require selling or swapping tokens into the underlying asset, creating exposure to market impact, slippage, and timing risk. The ETP shares received may trade at a premium or discount to NAV. Tax treatment is uncertain and may trigger taxable events, particularly when contributing assets other than the ETP’s underlying crypto. Foreside Fund Services, LLC is the Marketing Agent and Grayscale Investments Sponsors, LLC is the sponsor of the ETPs. Tech EU entity suspected of losing $106 million from crypto exchange accounts, ZachXBT says Blockchain investigator ZachXBT says an unidentified European Union entity may have lost more than $106 million from accounts at multiple crypto exchanges on Sunday, though the losses haven’t been independently confirmed. The attacker withdrew USDC and USDT, swapped into ether, moved funds through instant-exchange services and converted some into privacy coin Monero, which can’t be frozen by an issuer. ZachXBT says he’s highly confident North Korea’s Lazarus Group was not responsible. The victim, the exchanges involved and how the attacker got access all remain unidentified. The suspected theft comes days after the Binance hack. 2-minute read → Know someone who should be reading this?
