Stellar, XRP, and MANA Lead Grayscale Portfolio Surge

• Grayscale Investments’ crypto holdings surged over 85%, driven by XLM, XRP, and MANA’s exceptional monthly growth.
• Grayscale reopens private placements for 19 crypto trusts, enhancing institutional access and expanding altcoin investment opportunities.

Grayscale Investments’ crypto holdings have seen a stunning spike in market value, increasing by more than 85% over the last month. The outstanding performance of some altcoins—including Stellar (XLM), XRP, and Decentraland (MANA)—is mostly responsible for this notable expansion.

With an amazing 469% increase in value, XLM led the charge, followed by XRP, which shot over 262%, and MANA, rising more than 105% in the same period.

Grayscale’s Strategic Moves Propel Altcoin Season Anticipation 

This steady increase fits rising anticipation of an altcoin season since analysts draw on past trends usually started by events like the halving of Bitcoin.

With forecasts for XRP maybe reaching as high as $2.57 by the end of the year, the performance of these altcoins has inspired hope among investors. The seeming momentum in the crypto market, where institutional interest has been gradually rising, supports such forecasts.

Moreover, for 19 of its crypto trusts—including well-known assets like XRP and Solana (SOL)—Grayscale has resumed private placement subscriptions.

This action not only gives accredited investors access to purchase these digital assets at their net asset value but also represents a larger attempt to draw institutional investors into the field. Grayscale keeps leading in closing the gap between traditional finance and the growing crypto industry by enabling simplified access to these assets.

Beside that, CNF previously reported that the Grayscale Zcash Trust provides simplified access to ZEC, therefore removing the requirement for either direct purchase or safe storage. Beyond its present portfolio, Grayscale is looking at altcoins and has found twenty intriguing projects spanning several categories for Q4 2024.
