Garyscale’s Crypto List for Future Investments

Grayscale, a leading crypto-focused asset manager, introduces investors to a diverse array of investible digital assets, as an important part of its mission.

The assets under consideration are cryptos not currently included in a Grayscale investment product, but identified by the team as possible candidates for inclusion in a future product, according to its official notes.

The new list of assets under consideration is the following:

• $KAS, $APT, $ARB, $TIA, $HBAR, $MNT, $SEI, $S, $STRK, $TON, $TRX, $AERO, $BNB, $ENA, $INJ, $JUP, $ONDO, $PENDLE, $RUNE, $DOGE, $IMX, $AKT, $FET, $AR, $EIGEN, $HNT, $JTO, $PYTH, $WLD

Also, Grayscale listed 10 assets under consideration that are not included in crypto sectors as of December 31, 2024:

• $HYPE, $AI16Z, $VIRTUAL, $FLOCK, $GRASS, Hyperbolic, Prime Intellect, Sentient, Space and Time, Story Protocol

The assets currently in Grayscale’s product suite include digital assets such as BTC, BCH, LTC, and more, smart contract platforms such as AVAX, ADA, ETH, and others, financials including AAVE, UNI, and more, consumer and culture (BAT and MANA), and utilities and services such as TAO, LINK, LDO, WLD and others.

These assets are held by a Grayscale Product as of January 9, 2025, either as part of a single-asset product or a multi-asset product.

BNB Inclusion in Grayscale Future Investment Products

BNB’s inclusion in Grayscale’s potential future investment products is an important achievement for Binance’s digital asset, highlighting more validation.

BNB is the native token of the decentralized BNB Chain. The coin has the following utilities:

• powers transactions
• pays for fees
• allows for participation in governance

Recently, BNB marked another achievement when a region in Bhutan announced that it would hold BNB, BTC, and ETH as part of its strategic reserves.

On January 8, Binance’s CZ addressed the issue via a post on X, highlighting the importance of BNB (and other coins) validation to be included in other countries’ National Strategic Reserves.

Recently, Binance revealed its 2024 year-end report which showcased major achievements of the crypto exchange from last year, including surpassing 250 million users, mirroring increased crypto adoption and trust in the platform.
