Grayscale Investments has launched four distinct model portfolios designed for financial advisors to allocate client funds into cryptocurrency. The new offerings include a “Digital Assets Core Plus” portfolio featuring Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Chainlink, as well as a “Digital Assets Leaders” portfolio focused on the five largest eligible assets. Notably, the “Digital Assets Next Gen” portfolio excludes Bitcoin entirely, giving significant weight to Ripple’s XRP at 26.11%. This portfolio is heavily concentrated, with Ethereum, XRP, and Solana representing roughly 90% of its holdings as of August 31. The launch follows Grayscale’s recent filing to potentially convert its Litecoin Trust into an ETF structure.
Grayscale has created ready-made crypto investment portfolios for financial advisors, launching four distinct model portfolios each with a different purpose.
The “Digital Assets Core Plus portfolio” is designed as a broad, foundational crypto allocation and includes Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Chainlink. Meanwhile, “Digital Assets Leaders” focuses on the five largest eligible crypto assets available through Grayscale’s single-asset products.
“Digital Assets Next Gen” is designed to give investors exposure to crypto assets beyond Bitcoin, including both established and emerging projects. Finally, “Digital Assets Infrastructure” focuses on assets tied to protocols that support areas such as smart contracts and tokenization.
Ripple’s XRP has received a huge allocation in the Digital Assets Next Gen portfolio. As of August 31, the portfolio held seven assets, with Ethereum at 42.34%, XRP at 26.11%, and Solana at 21.09%.
Bitcoin has been left out of this portfolio, while the remaining allocation is spread across Hyperliquid, Chainlink, Avalanche, and Sui. Grayscale has capped each asset to not exceed 40% in a model, and the portfolios will be rebalanced quarterly.
Meanwhile, XRP was trading at $1.40 after a 40% hike in the past month. Bitcoin was changing hands at $76,846.10 after a 22.1% hike in the past month.
Bitcoin dominance was testing resistance at 59.27%, approaching a level where it has historically struggled to move higher. The altcoin season index sat at 36, confirming that Bitcoin remains dominant for now.
