Catenaa, Friday, January 23, 2026-Grayscale has added artificial intelligence, decentralized finance, and consumer-focused tokens to its internal inventory of digital assets under consideration for future investment products, increasing the total list to 27 tokens.
The firm disclosed Monday that the updated inventory includes seven new assets not previously categorized, alongside 20 previously reviewed tokens.
New additions include MegaETH and Horizen in smart contract platforms; ARIA Protocol and Playtron in Consumer & Culture; and Nous Research, Poseidon, and Geodnet in AI and Utilities & Services.
The existing list already covered major smart contract platforms, 11 DeFi tokens such as Pendle and Jupiter, and AI-related assets like Worldcoin and Virtuals Protocol.
Grayscale noted that inclusion on the consideration list does not guarantee that an investment product will launch.
Each asset must undergo internal review, custody setup, and regulatory compliance checks before becoming part of a fund.
Updates to the inventory occur on a rolling basis and may happen as frequently as 15 days after quarter-end, with the next routine update expected April 15, 2026.
The Connecticut-based firm remains the largest digital-asset-focused investment platform globally, reporting approximately $35 billion in total assets under management as of September 30, 2025.
Its flagship Grayscale Bitcoin Trust holds $15.3 billion in AUM. Grayscale’s current suite of products spans 28 digital assets, including six currency tokens, ten smart contract platforms, and five AI-related assets.
The expansion of the review list reflects Grayscale’s ongoing effort to explore emerging sectors in crypto, including AI and consumer applications, alongside established DeFi and infrastructure projects.
