ABOUT GRAYSCALE INVESTMENTS
Grayscale is the world’s leading crypto asset management firm, currently offering over 35 specialized digital currency products.
Launched in 2013, the firm has become the most established entity in the space, serving as a critical bridge for both institutional and individual investors to access digital assets through traditional investment vehicles.
Grayscale’s primary mission is to de-risk the crypto experience by wrapping digital assets in the familiar structure of a security, eliminating the need for investors to manage private keys or navigate unregulated exchanges.
MAJOR OFFERINGS & STRATEGIC STRUCTURE
Spot Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs): Grayscale has successfully converted its flagship products, including GBTC (Bitcoin) and ETHE (Ethereum), into SEC registered Spot ETFs. In April 2026, the firm expanded this lineup with the launch of the Grayscale Dogecoin Trust ETF (GDOG) on NYSE Arca.
Diversified Crypto Vehicles: Beyond single assets, Grayscale provides thematic exposure through multi-asset products like the Digital Large Cap Fund and the Decentralized AI Fund, which track broader sector performance.
Tiered Investor Access: While its Spot ETFs are available to all retail investors on public exchanges, Grayscale continues to offer Private Placements for emerging trusts. These are available to Accredited Investors before they reach the maturity required for public secondary market trading.
Institutional-Grade Custody: The firm places a paramount emphasis on security, utilizing regulated, third party cold storage (such as Coinbase Custody) to ensure the safekeeping of all underlying assets.
Transparent Market Exposure: By investing in Grayscale products, investors gain direct exposure to the price movements of digital currencies with the added benefit of daily NAV (Net Asset Value) transparency and audited financial reporting.

Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE): The primary vehicle for institutional Ethereum exposure, now fully converted to a Spot ETF on NYSE Arca.
Grayscale Decentralized AI Fund: A thematic fund focusing on the intersection of blockchain and artificial intelligence. Top holdings include Bittensor (TAO) and Render (RENDER).
