Grayscale Reveals Potential Altcoin Candidates for Q1 2025

Grayscale revealed an extensive list of cryptocurrencies, including meme coins and AI tokens, which could soon join its investment products.

Investment management firm Grayscale has revealed a list of cryptocurrencies that could potentially join its investment products in Q1 2025.

The list, which was revealed on Grayscale's website, includes 39 altcoins that are being considered for addition to the firm's lineup of investible digital assets.

The altcoins are categorized into five groups: Currencies (crypto asset as a medium of exchange or store of value), Smart Contract Platforms, Financials, Consumer & Culture, and Utilities & Services.

Some of the notable altcoins on the list include KAS (Kava Compute), APT (Aptos), and HYPE (Hyperliquid).

The addition of these altcoins to Grayscale's investment products would open up new avenues for investors to gain exposure to the broader cryptocurrency market.

Grayscale, a subsidiary of Digital Currency Group, is known for its role in the cryptocurrency industry. The firm's investment products, which span a range of digital assets, are designed to provide investors with a convenient and accessible way to participate in the market.

In recent months, Grayscale has undertaken a periodic review of its product catalog, considering various altcoins for inclusion. This move aligns with the firm's strategy to diversify its investment offerings and cater to the evolving market landscape.

As Grayscale continues to evaluate and adjust its product lineup, the potential candidates for Q1 2025 are subject to change throughout the quarter. This is due to the reconstitution of multi-asset funds and the launch of new single-asset products by Grayscale.

The assets or projects marked with an asterisk (*) were added to the list only after December 31. Their inclusion might be influenced by emerging trends within the crypto industry as it pertains to the market capitalization and liquidity of each digital asset.

This updated list also reveals Grayscale's attention to RWA (Real World Assets), DePin (decentralized insurance protocol), and AI (artificial intelligence), particularly AI agent tokens.

Furthermore, Grayscale's inclusion of Binance Coin (BNB) and Hyperliquid (HYPE), tokens linked to a centralized exchange and a decentralized exchange, respectively, highlights the firm's consideration of both CEX and DEX in its pursuit to expand its investment spectrum.

Despite the announcement, the prices of the 39 altcoins remained largely unaffected, with the overall market experiencing continuous liquidations over the past week and a brief upside on Monday.
