In addition to its recently added spot Bitcoin ETF, asset management firm Grayscale Investments has introduced a new staking fund.
The Grayscale Dynamic Income Fund (GDIF)
A post on X showed details of a newly launched crypto staking fund from Grayscale dubbed Grayscale Dynamic Income Fund (GDIF). According to the asset manager, this is the first actively managed investment product by Grayscale that is focused on multi-asset staking. The GDIF is designed to facilitate the staking of digital assets to receive income, mostly in U.S. Dollars.
As we've built our product family, we've only ever incorporated passive strategies. This week, that changes.

Precisely, it optimizes income that has taken the form of staking rewards associated with Proof-of-Stake (PoS) digital assets, with capital appreciation from such investments as a secondary goal. The fund has been active since February 29 and since that time, it has given its support to nine cryptocurrencies.
Markedly, the nine supported blockchains of GDIF are Aptos (APT), Celestia (TIA), Coinbase Staked Ethereum (CBETH), Cosmos (ATOM), Near (NEAR), Osmosis (OSMO), Polkadot (DOT), SEI Network (SEI), and Solana (SOL). Distribution of earnings would be every quarter, per the published statement.
Michael Sonnensheinn, the CEO of Grayscale, talked about his company’s effort to stay at the forefront of innovation and the development ongoing in the cryptosphere.
“As our first actively managed Fund, GDIF is an important expansion of our product suite and enables investors to participate in multi-asset staking through the convenience and familiarity of a singular investment vehicle,” Sonnensheinn explained.
Grayscale Now Exploring Staking Reward Schemes
The current outlook of the crypto market underscores the perfect timing for the unveiling of the GDIF, especially with Bitcoin reaching a new all-time high (ATH) above $69,000 earlier on Tuesday. Even though Bitcoin rose in the last few hours, the coin now has a lower market price underscoring intense volatility.
The price of BTC has now corrected to $63,390.98 with a 5.83% decline in the last 24 hours.
Also, to determine protocols that would be included in the GDIF, Grayscale is leveraging a system that measures certain qualitative and quantitative factors.
These factors include staking rewards, market capitalization, and liquidity. While Grayscale makes it clear that the offering is only accessible to “qualified” clients, the criteria for eligibility were not clearly spelled out and this might be secured based on demand.
