Grayscale has recently expanded its offerings with the introduction of two new crypto investment trusts, focusing on the Sui blockchain and the decentralized AI network Bittensor. The Grayscale Bittensor Trust will center around investing in Bittensor’s native TAO token, while the Grayscale Sui Trust will be dedicated to Sui’s SUI token.
In a statement released on August 7th, Rayhaneh Sharif-Askary, Grayscale’s Head of Product & Research, expressed his excitement about the launch of the trusts, emphasizing that they would provide investors with access to tokens at the forefront of the crypto ecosystem’s development. Sharif-Askary highlighted the importance of Bittensor in decentralized AI growth and praised Sui for redefining the landscape of smart contract blockchains.
These new trusts add to Grayscale’s portfolio, which now includes a decentralized AI-focused digital asset trust launched in July. The fund offers exposure to projects such as Bittensor, Livepeer Filecoin, NEAR, and Render.
With the addition of the Sui and Bittensor Trusts, Grayscale now manages a total of 20 crypto products, covering a range of digital assets like Solana, Litecoin, Chainlink, and Zcash. The combined value of assets under management in Grayscale’s crypto trusts exceeds $7 billion according to CoinGlass data.
Grayscale ETFs
Grayscale recently made headlines by transitioning its long-standing Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) to an ETF structure following the approval of spot Ethereum ETF products by the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Despite initial success, the ETF has experienced over $2 billion in outflows, with analysts predicting a potential slowdown in the near future.
A similar pattern was observed with Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) which underwent a comparable transition in January and saw outflows of more than $20 billion. Analysts attribute the significant outflows to high fees associated with these products.
In response to investor concerns about fees, Grayscale introduced two new offerings—the Bitcoin Mini Trust and the Ethereum Mini Trust—aimed at reducing costs. These new options provide investors with a more cost-effective way to gain exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Moving forward, Grayscale continues to adapt to market demands and investor preferences, offering a range of investment products tailored to meet the evolving needs of the crypto community.
