· 2026-10-21T17:20:47.850000+00:00Grayscale Launches In-Kind Investing Across 10 Crypto Funds With Minimums Up to $364,800 Grayscale on October 21 opened in-kind subscription investing across 10 of its crypto investment products, allowing eligible investors to contribute cryptocurrency tokens directly in exchange for fund shares without first liquidating their holdings into cash. The move covers Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, Dogecoin, Avalanche, Chainlink, Hyperliquid, Sui, and Zcash. Minimum contribution thresholds range from $80,300 to $364,800 depending on the fund, meaning the service is aimed squarely at institutional and high-net-worth investors. The in-kind mechanism is significant because it lets holders transfer appreciated crypto positions into a fund structure without triggering a taxable sale event. The SEC approved in-kind creations and redemptions for crypto exchange-traded products in July 2025, and Grayscale's expansion reflects the industry moving to fully implement that framework across a broader range of assets beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
