Crypto management company Grayscale has just added Dogecoin, Worldcoin, Pyth, Rune, and 31 other altcoins to its list, indicating these crypto assets are being considered for possible future investment products.
Grayscale categorized these future tokens into five groups: Currencies, Smart Contract Platforms, Financials, Culture, and Utilities. The majority of the newly considered assets were tokens for smart contract platforms which included a range of networks such as Aptos, Sei, Celestia, and Mantle.
The company also eyed several other networks which include popular names like Arbitrum, Cosmos, Polygon, Toncoin, and Tron. These assets could potentially become part of Grayscale’s investment products lineup.
The company also considered adding three Solana-based projects which include the decentralized exchange Jupiter, blockchain oracle Pyth, and decentralized infrastructure network Helium. One of the most talked-about coins Dogecoin and the crypto gaming network Immutable were also considered under Grayscale’s “consumer and culture” vertical, where they’d join existing products for Basic Attention Token and Decentraland.
Currently, Grayscale offers a total of 30 different investment products including 25 trusts for specific cryptocurrencies, four ETFs, and one dynamic income fund. This new list of prospective assets has come after Grayscale’s recent expansion – with recent launches including a new Aave investment fund on October 3, an XRP Trust on September 12, and an Avalanche fund on August 22.
Fun fact about Grayscale – it’s one of the world’s biggest institutional holders of Bitcoin, boasting a whopping 222,300 BTC worth $12.8 billion in its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF. Since turning GBTC into an ETF in January, Grayscale has become one of the largest institutional sellers of Bitcoin – investors have reportedly unloaded a net $20 billion worth of GBTC shares since the fund was converted.
