Crypto Asset Manager Grayscale Offers AVAX Token Investment in New Avalanche Trust

The provider of bitcoin and ether ETFs now offers more than 20 crypto investment products.

Crypto asset manager Grayscale Investments has added an Avalanche blockchain token trust to its recent slew of new products.

The Grayscale Avalanche Trust offers investors exposure to the AVAX token, which is used to pay transaction fees and secure the high-speed, ultra-scalable competitor to Ethereum.

CoinDesk learned of the new trust on Thursday.

Interest in publicly tradeable products linked to cryptocurrencies and the surrounding ecosystem has been growing since January, when the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the first bitcoin (BTC) ETFs for U.S. trading.

Grayscale, the remaining jewel in Digital Currency Group's crown, has brought digital assets to conventional investors for a decade through its bitcoin trust, which became one of the first ETFs after approval.

The firm also recently uplisted Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) to an ETF structure.

Grayscale, whose new CEO, former Goldman Sachs banker Peter Mintzberg, took over a week ago, now offers more than 20 crypto investment products.

The asset manager has lately focused on decentralized artificial intelligence (AI), having introduced an AI-focused digital asset trust, followed by two single asset funds: the Grayscale Bittensor Trust and Grayscale Sui Trust, that will hold the TAO and SUI tokens, respectively.

“Through its key strategic partnerships and unique, multi-chain structure, Avalanche is playing a pivotal role in the advancement of RWA tokenization,” said Grayscale's head of product and research, Rayhaneh Sharif-Askary, in a statement, referring to the process of creating a way of trading real-world assets on-chain.

Avalanche's AVAX token was trading at around $23 at the time of writing.
