According to ChainCatcher, Grayscale, a leading crypto asset management firm, has released an updated list of potential and existing digital assets for its investment products. This move aligns with the company's mission to offer a diverse range of investable digital assets to investors. The 'Asset Candidate List' includes digital assets not yet part of Grayscale's investment products but identified as potential future candidates. Meanwhile, the 'Existing Grayscale Product Assets' list details the digital assets held by Grayscale products as of January 12, 2026, which may be part of single or multi-asset products. Grayscale plans to update these lists within 15 days after each quarter's end, reflecting the expanding crypto ecosystem and the team's ongoing review of additional assets. The lists are current as of January 12, 2026, but may change within the quarter as multi-asset funds adjust their composition and new single-asset products are introduced. The process of creating products similar to existing ones is complex, involving thorough review and consideration, influenced by internal controls, custody arrangements, and regulatory requirements. It is important to note that not all candidate assets will become investment products, and Grayscale may explore other assets not listed for inclusion in its product lineup. Additionally, assets may be directly included in Grayscale's products without prior listing. Grayscale may attempt to list shares of new products on the secondary market. While some Grayscale product shares are approved for trading on secondary markets like OTCQX, new product investors should not assume similar approval due to potential uncertainties regarding the status of the underlying digital assets under federal securities laws by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and/or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). This announcement does not constitute an offer or solicitation to sell or purchase any securities in any jurisdiction, nor should it be considered legal to make such offers, solicitations, or sales without registration or qualification under the securities laws of that jurisdiction. Grayscale, its affiliates, and clients may hold positions in the digital assets or securities discussed in this article.

오픈 네트워크의 에어드랍 시즌이 다가오고 있으며, 개발자들은 텔레그램 연동 네트워크의 수요가 더 늘어날 수 있다고 인정하고 있습니다.

오픈 네트워크(TON)는 텔레그램과의 통합과 DOGS 에어드랍 토큰의 활동 급증에 힘입어 10억 건의 트랜잭션을 돌파했습니다. 빠른 성장과 높은 사용자 참여에도 불구하고, TON은 DOGS 트랜잭션의 집중적인 수요로 인해 기술적 문제와 네트워크 중단에 직면했습니다.
