Grayscale Launches Fund for Millionaires

Grayscale, a global leader in digital asset management, proudly announces the launch of a new investment fund dedicated to accredited investors with a net worth exceeding $2.2 million. The fund, known by the acronym GDIF, will focus on investments in tokens based on the proof-of-stake mechanism.

While Grayscale does not specifically disclose which altcoins it will invest in, among those with proof-of-stake features are Ethereum, BNB, Avalanche, Cardano, NEAR, and Aptos.

This marks a significant step for Grayscale in the realm of actively managed investment products. The company explains that the aim of this financial instrument will be to optimize income through rewards for participation in the staking mechanism associated with proof-of-stake digital assets. The fund will be responsible for managing the staking and unstaking processes of multiple tokens, as well as distributing rewards to its investors.

Grayscale is known for its Bitcoin-based ETF product, which allows investors exposure to cryptocurrencies without the need for direct purchase. This product has been approved and regulated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and has been trading in the market since January. Despite experiencing losses of billions of dollars, it remains the largest in terms of assets under management. Grayscale ranks second in terms of trading volume, right after BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF.

In its statement, Grayscale provides a detailed description of how the GDIF fund operates. Investments in GDIF have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or any other state or federal securities laws. The fund will also not be registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and will not be subject to certain restrictions and requirements under that act. Therefore, investors will not benefit from the protection provided by the Investment Company Act.
