Historical Premium Of Grayscale Trust Funding
What is Grayscale?
Grayscale was founded in 2013 and is one of the largest and most institutionally adopted digital asset management companies globally. It operates regulated funds, providing institutional and high-net-worth investors with a safe, transparent, and compliant way to invest in digital assets.
What digital asset investment products does Grayscale offer?
Grayscale's products mainly include:
1. Single-Asset Trusts, such as BTC, ETH, SOL, LINK, FIL, BAT, providing exposure to a single cryptocurrency.
2. Diversified Funds, which consist of multiple cryptocurrencies in a single portfolio, offering investors diversified exposure.
What are the stages and types of Grayscale fund products?
Grayscale funds generally go through the following stages:
1. Private Placement: Available to accredited investors with a typical one-year lock-up period.
2. Public Quotation: Private shares can be traded on secondary markets once unlocked.
3. SEC Reporting: Funds submit reports to the U.S. SEC, enhancing transparency and regulatory oversight.
4. ETF Stage: If allowed by regulations, funds may list on stock exchanges and enable creation/redemption of shares.
Does Grayscale actually hold the cryptocurrencies?
Yes. For spot trusts, Grayscale holds the cryptocurrencies corresponding to the fund shares, which are securely custodied by regulated third parties (e.g., Coinbase Custody). Each fund operates independently, separate from Grayscale's own assets, and some products undergo audits and SEC reporting.
Why do publicly quoted Grayscale products have a premium or discount?
Publicly quoted products cannot be redeemed directly, so supply and demand in the secondary market may cause the trading price to be above (premium) or below (discount) the net asset value of the underlying assets (after fees).
Why does the premium or discount tend to zero after a Grayscale fund converts to an ETF?
ETFs have daily creation and redemption mechanisms. Arbitrageurs can adjust market prices by creating or redeeming shares, keeping the ETF price close to net asset value, and quickly eliminating premiums or discounts.
How is a Grayscale product different from directly buying cryptocurrencies?
Grayscale provides indirect access to cryptocurrencies. Investors do not need to manage wallets or private keys, suitable for traditional or institutional investors. Directly buying cryptocurrencies requires managing the assets and keys but avoids management fees.
What is the Assets Under Management (AUM) of Grayscale funds?
AUM refers to the total value of all digital assets currently managed by Grayscale funds. It is calculated as: AUM = quantity of crypto held by each trust × current market price − fund fees. AUM reflects the scale, liquidity, and market influence of the fund.
