Last month, the issuer changed the ticker symbol to $BTC at the same time that Grayscale, the world’s largest digital asset manager, took an equity stake in the company. Grayscale is a subsidiary of Digital Currency Group, CoinDesk’s parent company.

Neither ClearShares nor Grayscale would comment on whether the ticker conversion was part of a future bitcoin (BTC, +2.14%) ETF, but Grayscale did say that its ownership stake in ClearShares was part of its “long-term commitment to bring digital currency ETFs to market.”

Grayscale has previously listed a number of job openings for ETF specialists.
