- Grayscale’s Market Position
Grayscale Investments has announced the launch of two new crypto investment trusts: Grayscale Bittensor Trust and Grayscale Sui Trust. These funds offer investors the opportunity to invest in the native tokens of the Bittensor and Sui protocols.
New Products for a Diverse Portfolio
Grayscale's new trusts function similarly to its existing single-asset investment products. The company is known for creating financial instruments that allow exposure to crypto assets without the need for direct acquisition. These products followed the recent launch of a decentralized AI-focused digital asset trust, which includes tokens such as Near (NEAR), Render (RNDR), and Filecoin (FIL). As of August 5, this AI-focused trust had nearly $1 million in assets under management.
Bittensor and Sui: A Closer Look
The Grayscale Bittensor Trust and Grayscale Sui Trust are significant because they are among the first investment products to focus exclusively on the Bittensor and Sui protocols. Bittensor is a decentralized network designed for creating and distributing machine learning models. Sui, on the other hand, is a blockchain protocol known for its scalability and efficiency. These trusts provide investors with the opportunity to gain exposure to innovative blockchain projects through a familiar investment vehicle, aligning with Grayscale's strategy of offering specialized products that cater to the diverse interests of crypto investors.
Grayscale’s Market Position
Grayscale is well-known in the crypto investment space for its popular products like the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) and the Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE). Earlier this year, Grayscale converted its long-running Ethereum Trust into an exchange-traded fund (ETF) structure following regulatory approval in the U.S. However, on August 6, Grayscale’s GBTC saw outflows of about $32.18 million and its ETHE saw $39.73 million in outflows. GBTC has a cumulative net outflows of $19.16 billion while ETHE has net outflows of $2.20 billion.
The launch of the new Grayscale Bittensor Trust and Grayscale Sui Trust highlights the company's strategy of diversification and addressing investor interests.
