Grayscale Investments has launched new trust products for Optimism and Lido DAO, expanding its offerings in both Ethereum Layer 2 and the DeFi space.

Grayscale Optimism Trust Offers Exposure to Ethereum and DeFi Markets

The newly launched Grayscale Optimism Trust is designed to give investors exposure to the Optimism ecosystem, an Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution.

Grayscale Optimism Trust projected that the company would have possible access to the speed at which this Ethereum L2 solution will rake in returns in scalability and efficiency in developing decentralized applications.

Grayscale Lido DAO Trust is directed toward this same developing market of Decentralized Finance, welcoming potential investors into the staking solutions offered by Lido DAO.

Lido DAO has gained traction in the market as one of the major players in staking across blockchain networks, including Ethereum, which has contributed to Grayscale raising this trust fund to tap into consumers’ increasing appetite for investment products related to DeFi, thus giving them exposure to this forward agent.

Grayscale’s Strategic Move to Capitalize on Growing Blockchain

These initiatives are with reference to an overall effort towards diversification of investment products in the cryptocurrency market by Grayscale. The company, which has become known for investing in trusts such as Grayscale Bitcoin Trust and Ethereum Trust, has been adding new funds such as those for AAVE, XRP, and Solana in its suite of offerings.

Grayscale, wholly owned by Digital Currency Group, has come to dominate the field of investment products based on cryptocurrency. Now, with its Grayscale Optimism Trust and Grayscale Lido DAO Trusts, Grayscale is installing itself further in the growing DeFi and blockchain investment landscape.
