Grayscale, the crypto asset manager, has added 35 altcoins to its consideration list for future investment products, including Dogecoin, Worldcoin, Pyth, and Rune. In a blog post on October 10, Grayscale divided the list of potential tokens into five main categories: currencies, smart contract platforms, finance, culture, and services.
The majority of the newly evaluated assets were tokens belonging to smart contract platforms, such as alternative layer 1 blockchains Aptos (APT) and Sei (SEI), data access network Celestia (TIA), and Ethereum scaling solution Mantle (MNT).
Grayscale also considered tokens from other networks, such as Arbitrum (ARB), Cosmos (ATOM), Polygon (MATIC), Toncoin (TON), and Tron (TRX), to its investment products. The company listed 16 smart contract platforms as potential funding candidates.
Grayscale, which is evaluating three Solana-based projects, considered adding decentralized exchange Jupiter (JUP), blockchain oracle Pyth (PYTH), and decentralized infrastructure network Helium (HNT) tokens. Popular memecoin Dogecoin (DOGE) and crypto gaming network Immutable (IMX) were considered potential candidates in the “consumer and culture” vertical.
Grayscale currently offers 30 different investment products. The new asset listing comes after Grayscale’s recent wave of expansion. The company launched a new Aave investment fund on October 3, an XRP Trust on September 12, and an Avalanche fund on August 22.
