Grayscale

Grayscale Investments, LLC is a digital asset management company headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, and a subsidiary of Digital Currency Group. Founded in 2013, it offers a range of regulated investment products that provide exposure to cryptocurrencies, serving individual accredited investors, financial advisors, and institutional allocators.

Grayscale launched the first publicly traded Bitcoin fund in the United States, the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), which began trading over-the-counter in 2015 and converted to a spot Bitcoin ETF in January 2024. The company also launched the Grayscale Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHE) and corresponding mini trust ETFs for both Bitcoin and Ethereum in 2024. Its product lineup extends to single-asset trusts for assets such as Solana and Chainlink, multi-asset funds including the Digital Large Cap Fund, and thematic strategies. Grayscale manages more than 30 investment products in total.

Grayscale Investments is the parent company of Grayscale Advisors, LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser, and Grayscale Securities, LLC, a FINRA-member broker-dealer. Its products are structured to allow access to digital asset markets through familiar, regulated financial instruments rather than direct cryptocurrency custody.
