Asset manager Grayscale has announced the latest update to its "Assets Under Consideration" list for the first quarter of 2026.
The list shows several different altcoins that could impact the company's future offerings. Grayscale reviews its product catalog approximately 15 days after each quarter-end and updates the list at that time.
Grayscale updates its crypto list for Q1 2026
In the latest update, Grayscale showed 36 altcoins on its "Assets Under Consideration" list. Being on the list does not guarantee a spot, but it indicates that they are actively evaluating the asset.
The candidates for Q1/2026 are from five areas: Smart Contract, Financials, Consumer & Culture, Artificial Intelligence, and Utilities & Services. Smart contract platforms and financials have the most assets on the list.
"Assets Under Consideration lists digital assets that are not yet part of a Grayscale product, but which our team may choose for future products," it states on the company's blog.
The latest Grayscale list shows a small change from Q4 2025 with 32 assets. The company has added a few assets and removed one. Within smart contracts, Grayscale added Tron (TRX).
The consumer and culture category grew when ARIA Protocol (ARIAIP) was added. ARIA Protocol is a platform that tokenizes intellectual property (IP) rights into liquid crypto-based assets. The platform enables investors, creators, rights holders, and fans to access, trade, and earn from these assets on the blockchain.
Under artificial intelligence, they added Nous Research and Poseidon, but removed Prime Intellect. Utilities and services also increased slightly with the addition of DoubleZero (2Z).
DoubleZero is a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) that provides high-performance, low-latency networks for blockchains and distributed systems.
The new additions show that Grayscale is focusing on tokenization, DePIN, and AI. Aside from these changes, the other assets within smart contracts, financials, AI, and utilities remain stable quarter over quarter.
The updated list came at the same time Grayscale took its first steps toward launching BNB and HYPE exchange-traded funds (ETF). The company registered legal trusts for both products with the Delaware Division of Corporations, indicating they are preparing potential ETF offerings.
