Grayscale Investments, a prominent name in the asset management sector with a keen focus on cryptocurrencies, has recently undertaken significant adjustments to its multi-asset funds. These changes come in the wake of their comprehensive review for Q4 2024 and involve crucial updates to several key funds, such as those centered around Artificial Intelligence (AI), Decentralized Finance (DeFi), and smart contract platforms. Given Grayscale’s reputation, these modifications are pivotal as many investors rely on their funds as benchmarks for structuring their portfolios effectively.
AI Fund Adds Livepeer (LPT)
In a recent announcement on Twitter, Grayscale divulged major changes to its Decentralized AI Fund. The firm strategically divested some of its existing assets to incorporate Livepeer (LPT) into the portfolio.
