GSR Files for Suite of Crypto-Focused ETFs, Including Treasury Companies Fund

Wall Street may soon see a fresh wave of cryptocurrency investment products as GSR, a prominent crypto trading and market-making firm, moves to launch five new ETFs.

According to a regulatory filing submitted on Wednesday, the company’s proposals range from a first-of-its-kind Digital Asset Treasury Companies ETF to funds targeting staking rewards and a diversified basket of major tokens.

GSR Fund Targets Corporate Holders

The flagship proposal, the GSR Digital Asset Treasury Companies ETF, is designed to invest in publicly traded companies that maintain significant digital assets in their corporate treasuries. 

GSR explained in the filing that the fund will place at least 80% of its assets in equities of firms that hold cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ether, or even smaller altcoins. Importantly, the ETF sets no minimum market capitalization for its potential holdings, allowing it to include a broad range of companies.

Initially, the fund plans to hold 10 to 15 positions drawn from 5 to 10 issuers, creating a focused yet diversified portfolio. Examples of possible investments cited in the filing include Strategy, known for its large Bitcoin reserves, as well as firms like BitMine Immersion Technologies, Sui Group Holdings, and CEA Industries, which maintain various crypto holdings. 

Analysts note that corporate treasuries have become a significant force in crypto markets as more firms treat digital assets as long-term balance sheet investments.

Staking and Core Crypto ETFs Round Out the Lineup

Alongside the treasury fund, GSR seeks to launch three staking-focused products: the Ethereum Staking Opportunity ETF, the Crypto StakingMax ETF, and the Ethereum YieldEdge ETF. These funds would allow investors to capture staking rewards typically earned by directly participating in proof-of-stake networks. 

Because U.S. regulations limit what traditional ETFs can hold, GSR plans to use offshore, wholly owned subsidiaries to stake Ether on behalf of the funds. The YieldEdge ETF will also employ an actively managed derivatives strategy to enhance potential returns.

Rounding out the proposals is the GSR Crypto Core3 ETF, which aims to provide balanced exposure to Bitcoin, Ether, and Solana. Filed under the Securities Act of 1933—the same framework used by existing spot Bitcoin and Ether products—the Core3 ETF could directly hold these tokens, maintaining roughly one-third of its assets in each.

GSR’s move underscores the growing appetite on Wall Street for diversified crypto investment vehicles. If approved, these ETFs could broaden access to crypto treasury plays, staking yields, and multi-asset exposure, further blurring the line between traditional finance and the digital asset economy.
