<p>Crypto asset manager Grayscale announced Thursday that it is exploring 13 more investment products, including ones tied to Solana (SOL) and Polygon (formerly Matic Network) (MATIC) tokens.</p> <p>The other 11 <a href="https://grayscaleinvest.medium.com/update-grayscale-investments-exploring-additional-assets-e4e80da683bb">products under consideration</a> are tied to these tokens: 1inch (1INCH), Bancor (BNT), Curve (CRV), Internet Computer (ICP), Kava (KAVA), Kyber Network (KNC), Loopring (LRC), NEAR (NEAR), Ren (REN), Universal Market Access (UMA), and 0x (ZRX).</p> <p>The new list comes a few months after Grayscale <a href="https://grayscaleinvest.medium.com/grayscale-investments-currently-exploring-new-potential-products-eb692da03fbe">said</a> in February that it was considering launching 23 new products, including those tied to Uniswap (UNI), Chainlink (LINK), and Polkadot (DOT) tokens. From those 23 products, Grayscale <a href="https://www.theblockcrypto.com/linked/98614/grayscale-new-investment-trusts-chainlink-filecoin">launched</a> five, including one for LINK.</p> <p>While Grayscale is now exploring a total of 31 new products, it does not mean it will launch all of those. The asset manager said the process of creating an investment product is complex and multifaceted.</p> <p>"It requires significant review and consideration and is subject to substantial internal controls, sufficiently secure custody arrangements, and regulatory considerations," said Grayscale.</p> <p>Grayscale is the largest crypto asset manager in the world, managing <a href="https://twitter.com/Grayscale/status/1405625610089684993?s=20">more than $34 billion</a> in client assets. Its bitcoin trust product (GBTC), however, boasts the lion's share of the total assets at more than $25 billion.</p> <p>For the past four months, GBTC has been trading at a discount, i.e. the market price of GBTC shares is less than its net asset value or NAV. The current GBTC discount is around -14%.</p> <p><iframe frameborder="0" height="420" src="https://embed.theblockcrypto.com/data/crypto-markets/structured-products/premium-of-gbtc/embed" title="GBTC Premium/Discount to NAV" width="100%"></iframe></p> <p>There are several factors behind the discount, <a href="https://www.theblockcrypto.com/daily/98973/grayscale-bitcoin-trust-discount-premium">as The Block reported recently</a>. These include new competition and selling pressure from existing customers.</p>
