About This Episode

On February 2, Grayscale Investments, the world’s largest digital currency asset manager, launched its first ETF, the Grayscale Future of Finance ETF (symbol: GFOF). It is built upon the thesis that the digital economy will boost global commerce, drive market efficiencies, and provide access to new pools of capital, while reducing the need for costly and cumbersome intermediaries. GFOF is the first equity ETF to track the investment performance of the Bloomberg Grayscale Future of Finance Index, which comprises companies representing three “future of finance” pillars: financial foundations, technology solutions, and digital asset infrastructure.
