• Explore next-generation investment products: add multi-track high-potential tokens
• The current product map already covers six major core sectors
• Being selected doesn’t mean issuance—two hurdles remain: regulatory approval and custody

Grayscale, one of the top crypto asset management institutions, has once again revealed to the market the direction of its potential future positioning. According to its latest official announcement on April 10, Grayscale has officially updated its list of “Assets Under Consideration and Current Products,” adding several emerging blockchain projects that have recently performed well in the market to its watchlist.

Explore next-generation investment products: add multi-track high-potential tokens

Grayscale said that its “Assets Under Consideration” list includes digital asset candidates that are not currently included in Grayscale’s existing investment portfolio, but have been evaluated by its internal research team as “possible candidates for inclusion in future investment products.” The list spans multiple popular crypto segments, including smart contract platforms, DeFi (decentralized finance), and infrastructure.

Based on the latest consideration list, many hot tokens that have attracted strong attention from both the community and the market have been added, with some highlighted as follows:

• Smart Contract Platforms: Toncoin (TON), Mantle (MNT), Monad (MON), MegaETH, Canton (CC), Celo (CELO), Tron (TRX).
• DeFi (Financials): Hyperliquid (HYPE), Ethena (ENA), Jupiter (JUP), Kamino Finance (KMNO), Pendle (PENDLE), Maple Finance (SYRUP), Morpho (MORPHO).
• Infrastructure and: Wormhole (W), LayerZero (ZRO), Jito (JTO), Helium (HNT), Geodnet (GEOD), DoubleZero (2Z).
• AI sector: Fabric Protocol (ROBO), Flock (FLOCK), Grass (GRASS), Kaito (KAITO), Kite AI (KITE), Nous Research*, Poseidon, Venice (VVV), Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) , Worldcoin (WLD).

The current product suite covers six core sectors

In addition to exploring potential newcomers, Grayscale also took stock of the crypto assets that are currently included in its “Assets Currently in the Grayscale Product Suite.” Beyond the well-known Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), its product line includes smart contract platform tokens such as SOL, AVAX, and SUI; DeFi blue chips such as AAVE, UNI, and ONDO; and AI-themed coins such as TAO and RENDER. In total, it serves more than 40 crypto investment products.

Being selected doesn’t mean issuance—it still has to clear two regulatory checkpoints: regulation and custody

Although being listed on a “consideration list” is often seen by the market as a potential positive signal that Wall Street institutions favor, Grayscale also provided a strict disclaimer in its announcement. The official statement emphasized that not all assets listed will ultimately be converted into actual investment products.

Because launching an entirely new crypto fund or trust is an extremely rigorous process, Grayscale must conduct complex internal evaluations—confirming the support capabilities of third-party custody providers and considering the regulatory stance of U.S. regulatory bodies such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Therefore, whether these tokens can truly become targets for institutional capital deployment still needs further validation through time and additional regulatory verification.
