In the latest update, Grayscale revealed 36 altcoins on the "Assets Under Consideration" list. Being on the list does not guarantee inclusion in the fund, but it indicates active evaluation.
The candidates for the first quarter of 2026 cover five sectors: Smart Contract, Financials, Consumer & Culture, Artificial Intelligence, and Utilities & Services. Smart contract platforms and the financial sector stand out with the largest asset amounts.
'Assets Under Consideration' list includes digital asset classes not yet in Grayscale's products, but which our team has identified as potential future offerings,' was stated in the blog.
Grayscale's latest list includes a minor update compared to the end of 2025, when it included 32 asset classes. The company added a few new items and removed one within categories. In the smart contract sector, Grayscale added Tron (TRX).
The Consumer and Culture section grew with the addition of ARIA Protocol (ARIAIP). ARIA Protocol is a platform that tokenizes intellectual property (IP) into liquid, crypto-based asset classes. The platform enables investors, creators, rights holders, and fans to access these assets, trade them, and earn revenue on the blockchain.
The artificial intelligence group added Nous Research and Poseidon, but Prime Intellect was removed. The Utilities and services category saw a slight increase with the addition of DoubleZero (2Z).
DoubleZero is a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) that provides high-performance, low-latency network infrastructure for blockchains and decentralized systems.
These additions indicate that Grayscale is tracking the development of tokenization, DePIN, and artificial intelligence. Otherwise, assets in smart contracts, the financial sector, artificial intelligence, and utility services remained unchanged from quarter to quarter.
The updated list was released at the same time Grayscale took its first steps in launching BNB and HYPE exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The company registered statutory funds for both products with the Delaware Business Registry, indicating preparatory actions for potential ETF offerings.
