Grayscale Investments has launched two new investment funds for Lido and Optimism’s governance tokens, LDO and OP. The Grayscale Lido DAO Trust and Grayscale Optimism Trust provide access to Ethereum’s largest liquid staking token protocol and popular layer-2 scaling solutions.

While Lido democratizes Ethereum staking, Optimism plays a critical role in enabling Ethereum to compete with newer, faster layer-1 blockchains. These funds provide investment opportunities in protocols that increase efficiency, security, and scalability in Ethereum’s DeFi ecosystem.

How do you think these new funds will contribute to the Ethereum ecosystem? We welcome your comments.
