Grayscale launch NEAR and STX trusts
Asset manager Grayscale unveiled two new trusts on Thursday that will grant investors exposure to the tokens of Near Protocol and Bitcoin Layer-2 Stacks.
The new trusts will be open for subscription to eligible investors on a daily basis and will not function differently from other single-asset investment trusts offered by Grayscale.
"With continued demand for diversified crypto-asset exposure, Grayscale remains committed to launching new products that enable investors to access emerging and evolving parts of the crypto ecosystem," said Grayscale's Head of Product & Research, Rayhaneh Sharif-Askary.

"By creating distinctive solutions to address blockchain's scalability challenges, Stacks and Near are poised to help foster greater adoption — ultimately helping to drive the crypto ecosystem forward," said Grayscale in the press release.
Grayscale offers several other trusts for cryptocurrency investments, including Solana, Ethereum, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash. In January, the company converted its Bitcoin Trust to an ETF after the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) approved spot Bitcoin ETFs.
Grayscale has also filed to convert its Ethereum Trust to an ETF as the company awaits the SEC's decision on spot ETH ETFs.

Furthermore, Grayscale may likely convert most of its other cryptocurrency trusts if other digital assets get their ETFs in the future.
Grayscale's investment in NEAR and STX could positively impact their prices. Both tokens are currently down by 3% but may soon begin to rally as investors look to Grayscale's newly-launched trusts.
