Grayscale, a prominent asset management giant, recently updated its lists of crypto assets under consideration and included in its products. The company has named Maple, Geodnet, and Story as the projects it is most bullish on for this quarter.
In a blog post dated April 10, Grayscale Investments shared the updated lists of crypto assets that are under consideration and included in its products. Among the new additions in the DeFi sector are Mantra (OM), Maple (SYRUP), Pendle (PENDLE), and Lombard (LMBR). Additionally, in the AI and Data Oracles sector, Grayscale has added Sentient (SENT), Prime Intellect (PRIME), and Space and Time (STT). For Smart Contract Platforms, the new assets include Babylon (BABY), Berachain (BERA), Celestia (TIA), and Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR). Decentralized Identity and Web3 sectors now include Toncoin (TON), Arbitrum (ARB), TRON (TRX), and VeChain (VET). Moreover, NFTs and Metaverse sectors have seen additions like Immutable (IMX), Story (IP), and Aixbt (AIXBT), while Utilities & Services now include DeepBook (DEEP), Eigen Layer (EIGEN), and Geodnet (GEOD).
It is important to note that being under consideration does not guarantee inclusion in Grayscale’s investment products. The final decision depends on ongoing evaluations and assessments by their research team. Grayscale aims to update its asset lists every 15 days after the end of each quarter, with the next update scheduled for mid-July 2025.
Grayscale’s research team identifies projects for consideration through quarterly research efforts, reviewing a wide range of digital assets to inform adjustments to the FTSE/Grayscale Crypto Sectors indexes. From this research, the team compiles a Top 20 list based on factors like network growth, potential future developments, sustainability of underlying fundamentals, token valuation, inflation of token supply, and possible risks.
In the latest quarter, Grayscale Research has noticed promising developments at the application layer rather than just the infrastructure layer. They are focusing on tokens that demonstrate practical, non-speculative uses of blockchain technology across three key narratives: tokenization of real-world assets, decentralized physical infrastructure, and intellectual property.
Among the projects that Grayscale is most bullish on this quarter are Maple, Geodnet, and Story Protocol. These projects have shown strong potential for growth based on the team’s evaluations and assessments.
Grayscale’s dedication to thorough research and analysis positions them as a leading player in the crypto asset management space. Investors and enthusiasts can look forward to more updates and insights from Grayscale as they continue to navigate the dynamic world of digital assets.
