In a significant move for the crypto landscape, Grayscale expanded its portfolio of cryptocurrency products, reintroducing the Grayscale XRP Trust. This development is part of a broader initiative to provide accredited investors with diverse exposure to the burgeoning cryptocurrency market.
The asset management firm announced on X that it has reopened private placement offerings for 18 cryptocurrency trusts for eligible accredited investors, effective September 15 according to the official blog post.
Among these, the XRP Trust stands out due to its recent relaunch, joining other prominent offerings such as the Avalanche, NEAR Protocol, Bitcoin Cash, and Solana trusts. This strategic expansion reflects Grayscale’s response to growing institutional interest in digital assets.
Grayscale’s trust structure offers a unique proposition for investors seeking cryptocurrency exposure. By purchasing shares at net asset value (NAV), accredited investors can gain indirect ownership of digital assets without the complexities of direct cryptocurrency management. This approach aligns with traditional investment methodologies while tapping into the potential of the cryptocurrency market.
The XRP Trust and eight other Grayscale products are in their private placement phase. This initial stage imposes a one-year holding period on purchased shares, limiting their transferability. Such restrictions are designed to ensure regulatory compliance and provide a structured investment environment.

Growing Interest in Grayscale’s Investment Products
Recent performance data for the Grayscale XRP Trust reveals promising trends. As of September 18, the trust reported a NAV per share of $11.49, marking an increase from its lowest level so far of $10.31 recorded on September 6. The trust’s assets under management (AUM) stand at $646,729.064, with each share representing 19.98 XRP.
The reintroduction of the XRP Trust also coincides with a period of positive price action. Over the past week, the digital asset has demonstrated consistent upward momentum. At press time, it traded at $0.5811, up 8.56% over the past week, despite a slight 24-hour decline.
Some market analysts attribute this trend to the renewed availability of Grayscale’s XRP product, suggesting a potential correlation between institutional investment options and cryptocurrency market performance.
Speculation within the XRP community has intensified following Grayscale’s announcement. Many proponents view the relaunch of the XRP Trust as a potential precursor to the development of a spot XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF).
While such speculation remains unconfirmed, Grayscale took a similar path with its Bitcoin Trust, suggesting XRP, one of the prime candidates for an ETF, will receive similar treatment.
