DCG offloads Grayscale shares to raise capital: Report

Cryptocurrency conglomerate Digital Currency Group (DCG) has reportedly begun to sell its holdings in crypto funds managed by its subsidiary Grayscale Investments as it looks to raise capital and preserve liquidity.

According to a Feb. 7 Financial Times report citing seen United States securities filings, DCG sold around a quarter of its shares in Grayscale’s Ether-based fund for around $8 per share, despite each share holding a claim to nearly double that amount in ETH.

Despite that statement, some observers believe Barry Silbert’s DCG may be headed toward financial strife.

Companies owned by DCG have been severely affected by the contagion resulting from FTX’s implosion, with over 500 employees laid off in recent weeks.

11.000 NFTs minted on bitcoin
When Ordinals launched in January, it caused an uproar in the Bitcoin community as enthusiasts, advocates, and developers argued the merits of putting JPEG on the blockchain. While the heated debate continues, the number of Bitcoin inscriptions using Ordinals has already surpassed 11,000 on Tuesday, according to a Dune report.

Ordinals are the latest project aiming to bring NFTs into the Bitcoin ecosystem. The first project, Counterparty, first introduced non-fungible tokens to Bitcoin with the Rare Pepes collection in 2014, with Stacks following in 2017.

However, the Ordinals project is different because the assets, including JPEGs and even video games, are inscribed directly on satoshis on the Bitcoin blockchain without needing a sidechain or additional token.

Grayscale Files ‘Final’ Briefs In ETF Lawsuit Against SEC
