Grayscale has taken a regulatory step by submitting an S-1 registration statement to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a spot Worldcoin ETF. This filing signals Grayscale's intent to list the product on Nasdaq under the ticker GWLD.
Details of the ETF Filing
The proposed ETF would operate with shares issued and redeemed in 10,000-share creation units, mirroring the structure Grayscale uses for its existing digital asset trusts and exchange-traded funds. The company must now await SEC approval and file a 19b-4 rule change for exchange listing before trading can begin. Previous altcoin ETF filings by Grayscale have required several months for regulatory clearance.
Worldcoin (WLD) is the native token of the World network, which leverages its Orb biometric device to verify users and generate proof-of-humanity credentials. The project has amassed millions of verified participants worldwide, spanning multiple countries.
Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart confirmed the filing on X on July 20, 2026, providing a screenshot of the official document. This move reflects Grayscale’s ongoing expansion into single-asset altcoin ETFs, following its similar filings for other digital assets.
