Grayscale has introduced a new suite of four model portfolios designed to give financial advisors structured exposure to digital assets. The launch comes amid growing institutional interest and follows broader demand for allocation frameworks that do not require managing every cryptocurrency separately.
The new strategies are Digital Assets Core Plus, Digital Assets Leaders, Digital Assets Next Gen, and Digital Assets Infrastructure. Across all four models, market capitalization determines weights, rebalancing occurs quarterly, and each asset faces a 40% ceiling.
Digital Assets Core Plus provides foundational exposure to established cryptocurrencies and combines Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Chainlink. Digital Assets Leaders focuses on the five largest eligible assets available through single-asset Grayscale exchange-traded products and adjusts as market leadership changes. Digital Assets Next Gen excludes Bitcoin and may hold up to 10 eligible assets across established and emerging parts of the digital asset market. Digital Assets Infrastructure targets assets linked to protocols supporting smart contracts, tokenization, and other foundational applications.
Laurie Katz, Grayscale’s Global Head of Distribution, said advisors increasingly want digital assets within existing client portfolios but often seek an allocation framework that does not require managing every asset separately. Grayscale Advisors will deliver the models directly to financial platforms, while advisors retain full discretion over how they apply each suggested allocation in client accounts.
Separately, Grayscale filed an amended S-3 registration statement with the SEC on September 11 regarding its proposed conversion of the Grayscale Bitcoin Cash Trust into an exchange-traded fund. The vehicle would be renamed Grayscale Bitcoin Cash Trust ETF and listed on NYSE Arca, continuing to use the BCHG ticker currently traded on the OTCQX market.
The filing describes the vehicle as a Delaware statutory trust holding Bitcoin Cash. Coinbase Custody Trust Company serves as custodian, while Coinbase acts as prime broker. The Bank of New York Mellon handles transfer agent and administrative duties. The name change depends on the registration statement becoming effective and the shares securing their NYSE Arca listing. The registration covers an unspecified number of shares through a continuous offering, with sale prices reflecting the trust’s underlying Bitcoin Cash holdings and the shares’ trading price on NYSE Arca.
