Grayscale Trust
The corporation maintains numerous reserves, funds of capital from private investors that the organization utilizes to acquire cryptography. The trust shares publicly exchange with the rates that track the price of cryptocurrencies.
Trust fees are large, and securities usually represent an over-priced acquisition of Bitcoin, but they make sense for individuals who choose to trade crypto on the equity exchange. For others, that is the only place to gain tax-efficient accounts exposure to cryptocurrencies.
