The indexes are intended to monitor and showcase the performance of different sectors within the crypto landscape, catering to the evolving interests of investors.
Notably, the strategic collaboration comes as Grayscale seeks to transition its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) into an Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF).
In a comment, Grayscale CEO Michael Sonnenshein emphasized the growing enthusiasm among investors to diversify beyond the more established crypto assets.
“Grayscale Crypto Sectors formalizes our specialized view of the crypto landscape, and we are thrilled to partner with FTSE Russell to make this framework actionable in the form of indices,” Sonnenshein said, while adding:
“Together, our brands will bring the rigor of traditional finance to crypto.”
The new crypto indexes are developed in collaboration crypto data provider Digital Asset Research.
