Grayscale, one of the leading cryptocurrency asset managers, has unveiled its latest benchmark update structured around its Crypto Sectors framework.
The move signals the company’s intention to expand its investment offerings with a broader array of digital assets, categorized by use case and technology focus.
In the newly published list, Grayscale is evaluating a fresh set of tokens across five sectors. Among smart contract platforms, notable candidates include Celo (CELO), Mantle (MNT), Toncoin (TON), and new additions like MegaETH and Monad. The financial assets list features Binance Coin (BNB), Ethena (ENA), Jupiter (JUP), Pendle (PENDLE), and several others including new entries Lombard and Maple Finance (SYRUP).
In the consumer and culture category, Bonk (BONK) and Playtron are under review, while the AI-driven segment includes Aixbt (AIXBT), Grass (GRASS), and newcomers like Prime Intellect and Virtual. On the infrastructure side, Jito (JTO), LayerZero (ZRO), Wormhole (W), and Walrus (WAL) make the list.
These assets are under consideration for future inclusion in Grayscale’s investment products, subject to regulatory and liquidity assessments. The firm currently manages products holding assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, Chainlink, Uniswap, and Dogecoin, among others.
This expansion aligns with Grayscale’s broader strategy to categorize the digital asset market more systematically, offering investors diversified exposure across emerging narratives like AI, decentralized finance, infrastructure, and consumer-driven projects.
