Major cryptocurrency investment company Grayscale Investments filed registration statements with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tied to Polkadot (DOT) and Cardano (ADA).

The Cardano fund would be listed on NYSE Arca under the ticker GADA. The Coinbase Custody platform would handle the custody, and it would track ADA’s price using the CoinDesk Cardano Index (ADX). Shares would be issued in blocks of 10,000 and may allow ADA staking for rewards in the future.

The proposed Grayscale Polkadot Trust ETF would trade on Nasdaq under the ticker DOT and track the CoinDesk DOT CCIXber Reference Rate.

Both funds are designed as passive vehicles that offer investors exposure to the underlying assets without requiring them to directly hold them. 

Grayscale’s S-1 for a spot DOT ETF came months after the US stock exchange, Nasdaq, sought permission to list the fund on February 24, and NYSE Arca did the same for ADA.

Altcoin ETF Filings Proliferate

Grayscale’s latest crypto ETF proposal comes as investment firms increasingly seek regulatory clearance for digital asset-based funds in the U.S. amid the country’s rolled-back crypto industry regulations and as investor demand for crypto-focused products has soared.

The election victory last year of U.S. President Donald Trump, whose family has strong financial ties to the crypto industry, kicked off a filing craze among asset managers for a litany of ETFs based on various cryptocurrencies — from Ripple’s XRP, ADA, and DOT to meme coins such as Dogecoin, BONK, and Official Trump.

The Manchester City Donnarumma Doubters Have Missed Something Huge

The Manchester City Donnarumma Doubters Have Missed Something Huge

The post The Manchester City Donnarumma Doubters Have Missed Something Huge appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. MANCHESTER, ENGLAND – SEPTEMBER 14: Gianluigi Donnarumma of Manchester City celebrates the second City goal during the Premier League match between Manchester City and Manchester United at Etihad Stadium on September 14, 2025 in Manchester, England. (Photo by Visionhaus/Getty Images) Visionhaus/Getty Images For a goalkeeper who’d played an influential role in the club’s first-ever Champions League triumph, it was strange to see Gianluigi Donnarumma so easily discarded. Soccer is a brutal game, but the sudden, drastic demotion of the Italian from Paris Saint-Germain’s lineup for the UEFA Super Cup clash against Tottenham Hotspur before he was sold to Manchester City was shockingly brutal. Coach Luis Enrique isn’t a man who minces his words, so he was blunt when asked about the decision on social media. “I am supported by my club and we are trying to find the best solution,” he told a news conference. “It is a difficult decision. I only have praise for Donnarumma. He is one of the very best goalkeepers out there and an even better man. “But we were looking for a different profile. It’s very difficult to take these types of decisions.” The last line has really stuck, especially since it became clear that Manchester City was Donnarumma’s next destination. Pep Guardiola, under whom the Italian will be playing this season, is known for brutally axing goalkeepers he didn’t feel fit his profile. The most notorious was Joe Hart, who was jettisoned many years ago for very similar reasons to Enrique. So how can it be that the Catalan coach is turning once again to a so-called old-school keeper? Well, the truth, as so often the case, is not quite that simple. As Italian soccer expert James Horncastle pointed out in The Athletic, Enrique’s focus on needing a “different profile” is overblown.
