Crypto Sectors
Introducing Grayscale Crypto SectorsSM, a new framework designed to set the standard for organizing the crypto asset class.
Why Grayscale Crypto Sectors?
The creation of blockchain technology has spurred the development of an entire universe of digital assets beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. Thousands of protocols now exist, and many have been designed to solve real-world problems and have the potential to impact the way we live, work, and play – from identity systems, digital artwork, file storage, web hosting, gaming platforms, and more.
As the universe of protocols continues to evolve, Grayscale Crypto Sectors offers investors an opportunity to organize and understand the crypto asset class. Assets are grouped into sectors by function - how the protocol works, its use case, and its investable exposure.
Currencies Crypto Sector
This Sector includes crypto assets that serve at least one of three fundamental roles – as a medium of exchange, store of value, and unit of account.
Smart Contract Platforms Crypto Sector
This Sector includes crypto assets that serve as the baseline platforms, upon which self-executing contracts are developed and deployed.
Financials Crypto Sector
This Sector includes crypto assets that seek to deliver financial transactions and services.
Consumer & Culture Crypto Sector
