Cardano ETF is FINALLY possible… So why did Grayscale KILL it? ADA just cleared a major requirement for a US spot ETF… and just days before, Grayscale pulled its Cardano ETF filing! So why walk away now? And what does it actually tell us about institutional demand for ADA?

It wasn’t killed right before it became possible. It was already dead for almost a year. Grayscale & the exchange filed the old way in 2025. SEC changed the rules, exchange withdrew its part in Sept 2025. Without that, it had no path to list/trade.

So they’re going to file a new one?

The old filing path is/was closed after the rule change and the exchange withdrawing its part. They’d need a completely new application under the current rules if they still want to pursue. Whether do or don’t is anyone guess. They haven’t been public about it.

Well, if they withdrew their filing (whatever the reason) WITHOUT filing a new one - they’ve effectively pulled out and aren’t actively pursuing it. End result is the same.

Wrong. The exchange withdrew its part of the old dual-filing back in Sept 2025 after the SEC rule change. Grayscale just cleaned up the leftover dead paperwork last week. It was already non-viable for almost a year. Where were you for an entire year?

@Cryptofly777 You speak as if you work at Grayscale, in reality you just down bad and coping

@Cryptofly777 You wake up every day just to hate post about a coin you don’t hold. That’s a sad little life.

Great video Linda on the broader scope of things, and who doesn't love potatoes 🤌

Here's the time, $ADA is down 98% its ATH, some people are willing to offset their loses for Charles drawing in blackboard and crying on twitter every other day, others are not.

“I hate everything!” These little bonus snippets at the end of your videos are better than marvel end credit scenes. 😂

Etf ada =

Nobody is doing anything on ADA… just try and it… It’s Ghost-town-onomics was forgivable back in the day… but now with all the things that actually have a heartbeat in the room… pretty much shines a spot light on what’s flatlining.

STARCH!!!!!

Stop talking about Cardano it’s total crap it needs to go away

No hay mucho interés por el proyecto, ha perdido mucho fuelle,en un mundo donde no dejan de aparecer nuevas promesas y mucha competencia…Creo que Cardano quedará como otro proyecto grande dormido o quizás sentenciado….. $SUI por ejemplo para mi tiene mucho mas potencial…

ada is dying slowly

Yep, killed its Cardano, Polkdot and Hedera ETFs. And they won’t say why!

Why did Grayscale killed a dead blockchain? A token that droped 96% ? We will never know.

The shade at the end, hilarious 🤣

Crypto fucking blows

This is the ETH tokenization cycle. We’ll see shitcoins like $Ada die off. Nobody uses them, and nobody will be prepared to incorporate them into ETFs. It’s over. Best postion in BTC and ETH for the last major cycle.

Because it's not a walk away. I'm tired with all this fud.

Thanks, Linda!

Crypto has become a system built around manipulation. The people behind it can push prices up or down whenever they want. In short, it’s no longer an investment vehicle; it has turned into gambling.

Tells us there is no demand

Hay otros fondos con intención de solicitar este ETF. La decisión de Grayscale está más alineada con su propia política comercial que no con la realidad de Cardano. Es cuestión de tiempo.

Thanks for the explanation Linda. Completely makes sense as to why they dropped $ADA in their ETF filing

Maybe they saw a bigger opportunity

npc

Way to spread more FUD

I'm sure Grayscale will rethink their decision when they listen to Linda's video. hehe

This is excellent

Bummer

Pump my bags!

I've seen a completely different opinion so will be good to see which one proves correct!

Omg @Grayscale only owns $78k worth of ADA? That is insane

Basta vedere la performance per capire perché hanno rinunciato
