PANews reported on September 21st that according to CoinDesk, US investment bank Jefferies pointed out in a recent client Q&A report for large institutional investors that cryptocurrencies, like the early days of the internet boom, are still in the "1996 phase" and have greater room for growth. Many companies are actively developing investment strategies and determining how to allocate funds between tokens, ETFs, digital asset treasuries (DATs), and publicly traded companies with risk exposure. Jefferies analysts note that excessive focus on Bitcoin prices distracts from the disruptive potential of blockchain technology across various industries. Clients are already considering investing in the sector through exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and digital asset treasury (DAT) firms. Their advice echoes the investment strategies of the dot-com era in 1996: be selective and prioritize lasting utility. As capital shifts from speculative assets to tokens driving real-world applications, significant divergence is expected to continue. Jefferies recommends analyzing tokens like early-stage tech startups, prioritizing "adoption, development, usage, and use cases" over the fleeting revenue spikes of certain blockchains.PANews reported on September 21st that according to CoinDesk, US investment bank Jefferies pointed out in a recent client Q&A report for large institutional investors that cryptocurrencies, like the early days of the internet boom, are still in the "1996 phase" and have greater room for growth.

Grayscale’s ‘first multi-crypto asset ETP’ in the works: Will BTC, ETH win?

Grayscale’s ‘first multi-crypto asset ETP’ in the works: Will BTC, ETH win?

The post Grayscale’s ‘first multi-crypto asset ETP’ in the works: Will BTC, ETH win? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways What does this approval mean for investors? It allows traditional investors to access diversified exposure to major cryptocurrencies without buying tokens directly. Which cryptocurrencies are included in GDLC? Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana, and Cardano. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has greenlit the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund (GDLC) for stock exchange trading.  The approval, coinciding with relaxed ETF listing standards, opens the door for traditional investors to access the crypto market more easily and signals growing institutional support. Grayscale CEO Peter Mintzberg weighs in Grayscale CEO Peter Mintzberg confirmed the development on X (formerly Twitter), praising the SEC’s Crypto Task Force for providing much-needed clarity to the sector. He said,  “The Grayscale team is working expeditiously to bring the FIRST multi #crypto asset ETP to market with Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano.” He further added,  “Thank you to the SEC #Crypto Task Force for their continued, unmatched efforts in bringing the regulatory clarity our industry deserves.” The newly approved Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund (GDLC) offers investors exposure to five of the world’s largest cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin [BTC], Ethereum [ETH], Ripple [XRP], Solana [SOL], and Cardano [ADA].
