What is a Grey Level Rebate? Grayscale is a trust that offers a way for investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin without physically purchasing Bitcoin.
This may be practical for institutions or other entities that may not be able to participate in the Bitcoin marketplace directly for regulatory or legal reasons. However, grey levels have seldom traded at the same price as their net asset value.
Before, he had traded at a premium for the underlying bitcoin as stocks surged with desperate investors to get exposure to the cryptocurrency's top-flight. Today, however, the reverse is true – a sharp reduction.

This clamour may have contributed to some narrowing of the gap. The year has begun with crypto prices rising off increased optimism that inflation may have peaked. But like everything in crypto at the moment, the macro has a role to play as well.
