As of Oct. 1, BNY will begin to provide Grayscale with fund accounting and administration services. Besides, BNY Mellon will be a provider of ETF services to Grayscale as the company continues working on converting its Bitcoin Trust into a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund.

As part of the agreement, Grayscale Bitcoin Trust will see multiple improvements via BNY, including its ETF Center that supports ETFs based on cryptocurrencies.

Earlier this year, Grayscale announced its intention to convert GBTC into a full-scale Bitcoin ETF and has been working on it since then, making it a strategic goal for the company.
