Grayscale has updated its inventory of digital assets under review for potential inclusion in future investment products, expanding the list to 27 tokens spanning artificial intelligence, decentralized finance, consumer, and infrastructure categories.
The Monday disclosure outlined assets not currently held in any Grayscale vehicle but flagged internally as candidates for possible product development.
Grayscale remains the world’s largest digital asset-focused investment platform by assets under management. The Connecticut-based firm reported approximately $35 billion in total AUM as of Sept. 30, 2025. Its flagship Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF currently holds $15.3 billion in AUM, according to The Block’s data dashboard.
Seven assets on Grayscale’s new consideration list were not part of the firm’s sector framework as of Dec. 31. New additions for 2026 include MegaETH and Horizen in the smart contract platform category; ARIA Protocol and Playtron in Consumer & Culture; and Nous Research, Poseidon and Geodnet in the AI and Utilities & Services categories, respectively.
The remaining 20 assets under consideration had already been categorized by Grayscale as of year-end 2025. This group includes major smart contract platforms like Polkadot and Binance Coin, 11 DeFi tokens such as Pendle and Jupiter, and AI-related assets including Worldcoin and Virtuals Protocol.
Grayscale said the lists are organized under its Crypto Sectors framework and reviewed on a rolling basis.
“The list is as of January 12, 2026, and is subject to change intra-quarter as some multi-asset funds reconstitute and we launch new single-asset products,” the asset manager wrote, adding that updates may occur as frequently as 15 days after quarter-end.
The firm noted that inclusion on the consideration list does not guarantee the launch of an investment product. According to the disclosure, creating a product involves internal review, custody arrangement, and regulatory consideration, and not every asset under review will advance.
The company’s existing product suite currently holds 28 digital assets. This includes six “currency” assets like Bitcoin and XRP, ten smart contract platforms including Ethereum and Solana, and five AI tokens such as Bittensor and Render.
The next routine update to Grayscale’s consideration list is expected around April 15, 2026.
