An Innovative Fund to Diversify Portfolios
The GDIF stands as Grayscale’s first actively managed fund, initially comprising assets from nine different blockchains, including Aptos (APT), Celestia (TIA), Coinbase Staked Ethereum (CBETH), Cosmos (ATOM), Near (NEAR), Osmosis (OSMO), Polkadot (DOT), SEI Network (SEI), and Solana (SOL). This fund aims to distribute rewards in US dollars on a quarterly basis, thereby providing a new income stream for investors interested in the cryptocurrency sector.
The Role of Staking in Blockchains
Staking is a crucial mechanism for certain blockchains, offering an alternative to the proof-of-work model used by the Bitcoin network. In proof-of-stake networks like Ethereum, token holders can stake their assets to participate in network execution. This action, known as staking, generates income for the investor, creating an attractive opportunity for those looking to profit from their cryptocurrencies.
