Grayscale Expands “Assets Under Consideration” List With 36 Altcoins for Q1 2026
Summary
Asset manager Grayscale has released its updated "Assets Under Consideration" list for the first quarter of 2026, which now includes 36 altcoins under active evaluation for potential inclusion in future investment products. This list, updated approximately 15 days after the quarter's end, spans five key sectors: Smart Contract, Financials, Consumer & Culture, Artificial Intelligence, and Utilities & Services, with Smart Contract and Financials having the most assets.
The Q1/2026 list reflects a modest refresh from Q4 2025's 32 assets, featuring several additions and one removal. Notable additions include Tron (TRX) in smart contracts, ARIA Protocol (tokenizing IP rights) in consumer/culture, Nous Research and Poseidon in AI, and DoubleZero (a DePIN project) in utilities. These additions highlight Grayscale's attention to tokenization, DePIN, and AI trends.
This review process occurs as Grayscale recently initiated groundwork for potential new offerings, having registered statutory trusts for BNB and HYPE exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in Delaware.
