Grayscale Investments, the world’s largest crypto asset manager, has introduced the Grayscale Avalanche Trust, its newest investment product designed to provide accredited investors with exposure to Avalanche (AVAX). This launch reflects Grayscale’s strategy of offering diversified opportunities in the evolving crypto landscape.
Avalanche, a multi-chain smart contract platform, is recognized for its scalability, security, and decentralization. The platform has made significant strides in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization through its partnerships with leading companies, helping to bridge the gap between traditional finance and blockchain technology.
“The launch of Grayscale® Avalanche Trust underscores our ongoing commitment to delivering innovative investment options,” said Rayhaneh Sharif-Askary, Grayscale’s Head of Product & Research. “Avalanche’s unique structure and strategic collaborations make it a key player in advancing RWA tokenization.”
The Trust is now open for daily subscription to accredited investors and exclusively invests in AVAX, the native token of the Avalanche network. It operates similarly to Grayscale’s other single-asset investment trusts, providing a streamlined avenue for institutional and accredited investors to gain exposure to AVAX.
Grayscale is known for its expansive portfolio, offering over 20 crypto investment products. The firm plans to seek approval for the shares of the Grayscale® Avalanche Trust to be listed on a secondary market, but there is no guarantee of success due to potential regulatory challenges. Investors should be aware of the risks, including the possibility that shares may trade at a significant premium or discount relative to the underlying asset value.
This announcement marks Grayscale’s latest step in supporting investors who seek diversified exposure to the rapidly growing crypto sector, with a focus on projects that drive technological advancements and industry adoption.
