Grayscale withdrew registration statements for three planned altcoin ETFs in filings submitted within minutes of each other on Aug. 7, according to EDGAR records.

The withdrawals followed a tight sequence: the Grayscale Cardano Trust ETF filing was accepted at 4:33:37 p.m. ET, the Grayscale Hedera Trust ETF at 4:34:55 p.m., and the Grayscale Polkadot Trust ETF at 4:36:47 p.m. — all within 190 seconds of one another.

Each Form RW cites the same reason: Grayscale does not intend to proceed with the proposed distribution of shares for the respective products.

  • The registration statements had not been declared effective
  • No securities had been or would be issued or sold under them
  • No preliminary prospectus had been distributed

The filings mark a halt to Grayscale's efforts to bring standalone exchange-traded products tracking Cardano (ADA), Hedera (HBAR) and Polkadot (DOT) to market under these specific registration statements.
