Grayscale Investments announced the introduction of the Grayscale Pyth Trust, a new investment vehicle designed to offer accredited investors exposure to PYTH, the governance token used by the Pyth oracle network.
Pyth specializes in providing real-time pricing and data feeds, which are integral to the operation of decentralized applications, particularly within the Solana ecosystem, where it is utilized by 95% of protocols.
The Pyth network is recognized for sourcing its pricing information from institutional traders and market makers, delivering updates vital for the functionality of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications.
Rayhaneh Sharif-Askary, Grayscale’s head of product and research, highlighted the network's importance, stating, “The Pyth network plays one of the most significant roles in the Solana ecosystem.” She explained that the new trust aims to grant investors access to the potential high-beta and high-upside opportunities associated with Solana's growth.
Grayscale, an asset manager already known for its bitcoin and ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs), is now expanding its product line with this trust, which will only hold PYTH tokens.
The Grayscale Pyth Trust is structured similarly to the firm's other single-asset investment trusts and follows the precedent set by their popular products like the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) and Ethereum Trust (ETHE), which transitioned to an ETF structure in the previous year.
The trust is currently open for daily subscription but is limited to accredited investors, aligning with Grayscale's approach to offering specialized investment products in the digital asset space.
This move represents a continued effort by Grayscale to diversify its offerings and provide structured exposure to various facets of the cryptocurrency market.
