Grayscale Investments Launches Grayscale Model Portfolios to Help Advisors Deliver Digital Asset Allocations at Scale

New suite of professionally constructed model portfolios brings asset selection, sizing, diversification, and rebalancing into a single framework for financial advisors

STAMFORD, Conn., Sept. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Grayscale Investments^®, the world’s largest digital asset-focused investment platform*, today announced the launch of Grayscale Model Portfolios, a new suite of professionally constructed model portfolios that provide suggested allocations across the digital asset ecosystem, with each model designed around a distinct investment objective. The launch expands Grayscale’s advisor-focused offering with a portfolio-based approach to digital asset investing.

“Advisors are increasingly looking for ways to bring digital assets into client portfolios without having to build and maintain allocations asset by asset,” said Laurie Katz, Global Head of Distribution at Grayscale. “Grayscale Model Portfolios are designed to meet that need, combining our portfolio construction expertise with more than a decade of digital asset experience so advisors can offer clients thoughtfully constructed digital asset exposure through a single, familiar framework.”

Each Grayscale Model Portfolio combines multiple digital asset exchange traded products within a single strategy, giving advisors a more efficient way to access the breadth of the asset class than constructing and managing individual positions. Asset selection, position sizing, diversification, and rebalancing are incorporated into each model’s methodology, helping advisors implement and maintain digital asset exposure within a consistent portfolio framework.

Grayscale Model Portfolios launch with four strategies, each designed around a distinct investment objective:

• Digital Assets Core Plus: Build a foundational digital asset allocation. Core Plus is designed to provide broad exposure to established digital assets, combining Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) with select leading assets such as Solana (SOL) and Chainlink (LINK). The portfolio is market-cap weighted, rebalanced quarterly, and subject to a 40% weighting cap per asset.
  
  
• Digital Assets Leaders: Access the leaders of the digital asset market. Digital Assets Leaders is designed to provide exposure to the five largest eligible digital assets held in single-asset Grayscale ETPs. As market leadership evolves, the portfolio adjusts to maintain exposure to leading assets. The portfolio is market-cap weighted, rebalanced quarterly, and subject to a 40% weighting cap per asset.
  
  
• Digital Assets Next Gen: Expand beyond core digital assets. Digital Assets Next Gen is a portfolio of crypto assets providing exposure to established and emerging digital assets, excluding Bitcoin, across the broader digital asset economy. The portfolio holds up to 10 eligible assets, is market-cap weighted, rebalanced quarterly, and subject to a 40% weighting cap per asset.
  
  
• Digital Assets Infrastructure: Access the protocols powering digital asset innovation. Digital Assets Infrastructure provides exposure to digital assets underlying protocols supporting smart contracts, tokenization, and other foundational applications across the digital asset economy. The portfolio is market-cap weighted, rebalanced quarterly, and subject to a 40% weighting cap per asset.
  

Grayscale Advisors, LLC will deliver Grayscale Model Portfolios directly to financial platforms, which make the models available to advisors for implementation in client accounts. Advisors implementing the models retain full discretion over how allocations are applied to their clients’ accounts, allowing digital asset exposure to be managed alongside the rest of a client’s portfolio.
