Grayscale is an investment company that provides the clients with an exposure to digital currency markets eliminating the need to buy tokens. The firm does it by selling shares of 'trusts' related to certain digital assets. The recently started FOMO has already brought Grayscale's 'asset under management' (AUM) values to previously unseen levels.

Grayscale assets are on steroids

In its most recent report shared in a tweet, Grayscale Investments stated that its net AUM now surpasses $7,300,000,000. Mostly, this upsurge should be attributed to the spikes of Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Litecoin (LTC) prices.

Its founder, CEO of Digital Currency Group Barry Silbert, unveiled that Grayscale’s holdings added a whopping amount of value in the last 24 hours.

Added a cool $300 million in AUM in one day

In terms of separate ‘trusts’, the most impressive increase is associated with Litecoin (LTC). Its value added almost 10% bringing its total to over $34 mln. 

Bitcoin (BTC) allocation surged above $6 bln with a 5% increase. Notorious Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) added 6% and now is valued at $942 mln.

PayPal assists Grayscale

By contrast, Stellar Lumens (XLM) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) trusts witnessed mediocre increases of 2-3%. The only integral product of Grayscale, Large Cap Trust that unites the most valuable coins under its umbrella, therefore, added less than 4%.

The numbers of Grayscale Investments positions rocketed due to the rapid spike of crypto prices associated with PayPal’s decision to add major digital assets to its instrument toolkit.

As covered by U.Today previously, PayPal announced that Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) will be added as payment methods by the end of this year.

Following this surprising news, Bitcoin (BTC) revisited its multi-months high over $13,000. At press time, its price has slightly retraced and flirts with the $12,800 level.
