Grayscale Files for First US Worldcoin Exchange-Traded Fund

Grayscale Investments has filed a registration statement for the first US exchange-traded fund tracking Worldcoin, expanding its range of cryptocurrency-related products beyond major assets such as Bitcoin and Ether.

The proposed Grayscale Worldcoin ETF would list on Nasdaq under the ticker GWLD. BitGo Bank & Trust would provide custody for the WLD token, with BNY Mellon acting as administrator and transfer agent. CSC Delaware Trust Company would serve as trustee.

The preliminary prospectus does not yet specify management fees, seed capital, authorized participants or liquidity providers.

Worldcoin’s WLD is an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain associated with the World project, which employs biometric verification to distinguish individuals from automated systems. OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman co-founded the initiative.

The filing brings Grayscale’s total cryptocurrency-related exchange-traded products to 17, covering assets including Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, XRP, Dogecoin and Chainlink.
