It was on a Friday, a day much like any other, yet marked by a filing that would later be spoken of in hushed tones. Grayscale sought to metamorphose its existing Avalanche Trust, a creature of the digital world, into a publicly traded ETF, a transformation as profound as the turning of the seasons. This revelation, contained within a registration statement released on Monday, sent ripples through the market, akin to the first droplets of rain on a calm lake.

As governments across the globe whip out their regulatory whips, threatening to snatch personal data from the hands of citizens, the U.S. is gearing up for a showdown.

The range stretches from approximately $113,800 to $116,700, following the substantial crash that occurred on Sunday evening.
