Grayscale Investments has launched a new investment trust focused on the Avalanche AVAX token. The trust aims to provide more investors with exposure to the Avalanche cryptocurrency. It is now open for daily subscriptions and works similarly to other Grayscale asset funds like its Bitcoin and Ethereum trusts.
“The launch of Grayscale Avalanche Trust highlights Grayscale’s ongoing commitment to providing investors with innovative opportunities to access exciting developments in the crypto ecosystem,” stated Grayscale’s head of product and research, Rayhaneh Sharif-Askary. “Through its key strategic partnerships and unique, multi-chain structure, Avalanche is playing a pivotal role in the advancement of RWA tokenization.”
Grayscale Investments is one of the biggest investment firms in the world. It is also one of the biggest recent supporters of incorporating cryptocurrency into daily finance. The company recently put Shiba Inu under the top cryptocurrency networks by market capitalization.
Grayscale manages a series of investment trusts that provide exposure to various cryptocurrencies. These include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Litecoin, Zcash, Chainlink, and Decentraland. Investors purchase shares of the trust, which then invests in the underlying cryptocurrency. With rumors swirling of what may be the next crypto to receive an ETF, this update by Grayscale has certainly sparked speculation around AVAX.
At press time, Avalanche AVAX is up this week and responded positively to the Grayscale news. The asset is up 22% this week to $24.48. It has done extremely well to rebound from an overall bearish month for cryptocurrency.
