Digital Currency Group\u2019s (DCG) Barry Silbert has been re-appointed as chairman of the board at asset manager Grayscale, one of DCG’s subsidiaries, alongside several other new, high-ranking hires at the firm.<\/p>\n

Silbert, who owns Grayscale, resigned in December 2023<\/a> after the company was hit with a lawsuit from the New York Attorney General\u2019s office which accused Silbert and DCG of misleading investors and hiding financial losses totaling more than $1 billion. Both Silbert and DCG denied the claims, and the case is ongoing in New York state court.<\/p>\n

Silbert was replaced by DCG’s chief financial officer Mark Shifke, who will remain a board member. Grayscale filed a confidential submission for an initial public offering<\/a> last month, despite the ongoing legal back-and-forth with the New York Attorney General’s office.
“I’m honored to rejoin the Grayscale board at a defining moment for both the company and the broader digital asset ecosystem,” Silbert said in a statement. “I continue to have deep conviction in the company\u2019s long-term positioning and in the leadership team guiding it forward.”<\/p>\n

Grayscale also hired a new chief operating officer, chief marketing officer, chief communications officer, and as chief human resources officer, who all report to Grayscale CEO Peter Mintzberg.<\/p>\n

Since Silbert\u2019s resignation, Grayscale has converted its flagship Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) into an exchange-traded fund (ETF) as well as its Ethereum counterpart. It is also in the process of launching or converting several other products as ETFs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
