Grayscale Adds 5 New Altcoins, Drops 6 in Q2 2025 Update
1min read Grayscale, a prominent digital asset manager, has updated its “Assets Under Consideration” list for the second quarter of 2025, reflecting significant shifts in the cryptocurrency landscape. The updated list now includes 40 altcoins, marking a notable change from the 39 assets featured in the January 2025 iteration and the 35 assets in the October 2024 version.
One of the most significant changes in this update is the removal of Kaspa from the list. This move indicates a strategic shift in Grayscale’s asset priorities. Additionally, other key altcoins such as Sei, sonic, Starknet, THORChain, and Injective Protocol have been excluded from the list. These removals suggest that Grayscale is recalibrating its focus on what it considers to be foundational utilities in the evolving crypto sector.
In contrast, the update introduces several new assets, including Berachain, Plume Network, and Maple Finance. These additions reflect Grayscale’s growing interest in emerging projects and the financial sector’s growth. VeChain, for instance, has been incorporated into the smart contract platforms category, signaling a renewed interest in the project’s potential. Plume Network and Aixbt by Virtuals have also been added to the Financials and Consumer and Culture categories, respectively.
Grayscale’s Q2 2025 update also includes several assets that have yet to be classified under the Grayscale crypto sectors framework. These new additions include Babylon, Monad, Movement, Lombard, Mantra, Eliza, DeepBook, and Walrus. Prime Intellect, Sentient, Space, and Time, which were featured in the last list, are also included. This expansion highlights Grayscale’s proactive approach to staying ahead of the curve in the rapidly changing crypto market.
Grayscale’s update underscores the dynamic nature of the crypto market and the firm’s adaptability in responding to these changes. With a portfolio that now reflects emerging projects and strategic shifts, Grayscale is positioning itself to seize new opportunities and manage risk effectively. The market will closely watch which of the listed assets will transition from consideration to reality, as Grayscale continues to evolve its investment offerings in line with the digital asset landscape.
