STAMFORD, Conn., Aug. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Grayscale Investments, the world's largest digital asset-focused investment platform, today announced that its first actively managed investment strategy is now available through the iCapital Marketplace, expanding Grayscale’s reach to a broader network of advisors seeking exposure to non-traditional investments for qualified investors.*

“Expanding access through iCapital represents a meaningful step in bringing actively managed crypto income strategies into the workflows that financial professionals trust,” said Grayscale’s Head of Partnerships and Distribution, John Hoffman. “By delivering exposure to staking through the iCapital Marketplace, Grayscale is providing an opportunity for advisors to offer access to this prospective source of income to their clients.”

Grayscale’s actively managed strategy dynamically allocates capital across a curated set of leading proof-of-stake protocols, using a rigorous investment process that blends fundamental research, on-chain analytics, and macro-thematic views. Exposure to each protocol is assessed based on evolving network fundamentals, validator performance, and real-time market dynamics, enabling the strategy to adapt across market cycles. By aiming to monetize staking rewards and distribute them to investors in U.S. dollars on a quarterly basis, the strategy seeks to provide investors with a way to access both income potential and long-term growth potential without the operational complexity of managing digital assets directly.

“These investment strategies were developed from our conviction that staking is fundamental to how modern blockchain networks generate and deliver value,” said Grayscale’s Head of Product and Research, Rayhaneh Sharif-Askary. “By consolidating rigorously selected staking assets into a single, streamlined income vehicle, we are offering an innovative approach for advisors to recommend exposure to crypto for income-seeking clients.”
