Grayscale has expanded its digital asset consideration list adding a wider mix of AI, DeFi, consumer, and infrastructure tokens as part of its regular product review cycle. The latest update, released on January 12, highlights 27 assets that may be included in future investment products, underscoring the firm’s evolving focus as crypto markets mature.
The updated list includes artificial intelligence-focused tokens, decentralized finance protocols, and consumer-oriented blockchain projects. Newly added names for 2026 span several categories, including smart contract platforms, AI utilities, and consumer culture projects. These additions were not previously classified under Grayscale’s sector framework at the end of 2025.
Alongside the new entries, 20 previously categorized assets remain under review. This group features established smart contract platforms, a broad range of DeFi tokens, and well-known AI-related digital assets, signaling continuity in Grayscale’s long-term thematic approach.
Grayscale manages roughly $35 billion in assets under management, making it one of the largest digital asset investment platforms globally. The firm emphasized that assets on the consideration list are not currently held in any product and that inclusion does not guarantee a future launch. Each potential product must pass internal reviews, custody assessments, and regulatory considerations.
The list is reviewed on a rolling basis and may change during the quarter. Grayscale indicated the next routine update is expected around mid-April 2026, keeping market participants focused on which sectors may shape upcoming crypto investment products.
