Grayscale Investments, one of the world’s largest crypto asset managers and exchange-traded fund (ETF) issuers has unveiled its latest offerings. On Wednesday, the company announced the launch of two new crypto mutual funds: the Grayscale Bittensor Trust and the Grayscale Sui Trust.
Grayscale Unveils Bittensor And Sui Trusts
According to the announcement, the Grayscale Bittensor Trust is exclusively dedicated to TAO, the token supporting the Bittensor Protocol, which incentivizes the advancement of open-source artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.
In parallel, the Grayscale Sui Trust focuses solely on SUI, the token underpinning the Sui protocol, a Layer 1 (L1) smart contract blockchain designed to facilitate globally scalable decentralized applications.
Rayhaneh Sharif-Askary, Grayscale’s Head of Product & Research, expressed enthusiasm about the new additions, emphasizing the “pivotal roles” Bittensor and Sui play in the decentralized AI and smart contract blockchain realms, respectively. Sharif-Askary said:
With the launch of Grayscale Bittensor Trust and Grayscale Sui Trust, we continue to provide investors with familiar products that enable access to tokens at the cutting edge of the crypto ecosystem’s continued evolution.
These newly launched Trusts are now available for daily subscription by eligible individual and institutional accredited investors, operating similarly to Grayscale’s existing suite of single-asset investment trusts.
Notably, they represent some of the first investment products exclusively focused on the tokens underpinning the Bittensor Protocol and Sui.
In Wednesday’s announcement, Grayscale also confirmed its intention to seek a secondary market listing for the new products. Still, it cautioned that success was not guaranteed, with regulatory considerations posing potential challenges.
SUI & TAO Price Analysis
Following the asset manager’s announcement, the two tokens present a stark contrast in price action following the broader market crash experienced over the weekend and exacerbated on Monday.
For instance, the SUI token hit a 9-month low of $0.4636 on August 5th, following a steady decline from its all-time high of $2.17 in March of this year. However, SUI has climbed back to the $0.6166 level since Monday, with a 3% increase in the last 24 hours, with its next resistance wall at $0.6966.
On the other hand, the TAO token has been unable to post gains in recent weeks, registering a 24% price drop in the fourteen-day time frame. Despite this, TAO has rallied significantly to the $253 level on Wednesday after falling to the $164 level on Monday.
In the case of another leg up to regain previously lost levels, the most insignificant hurdle in the near term is placed at the $300 level, which is key for bullish investors in the token to approach the all-time high of $757 reached in March.
