Grayscale Opens In-Kind Investing Across 10 Digital Asset Products

Grayscale has added an in-kind investment option to 10 digital asset products, letting eligible investors contribute crypto for shares without a preliminary conversion to cash. The products cover Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX), Chainlink (LINK), Dogecoin (DOGE), Hyperliquid (HYPE), Sui (SUI), XRP and Zcash (ZEC). Under the arrangement, investors contribute the digital asset itself in exchange for product shares. In-kind investing describes that direct asset-for-share exchange, which skips a cash conversion before the investment. The structure may lessen the burden of self-custody and reduce potential transaction costs.
