Grayscale Allocates 26% of New Advisor Portfolio to XRP

Grayscale introduced a ready‑made crypto allocation for financial advisors, featuring a model portfolio that omits Bitcoin. XRP (XRP) accounts for 26.11% of the portfolio, ranking second only to Ether.

Portfolio composition

The Digital Assets Next Gen model holds seven funds as of August 31. The top three assets make up roughly 89% of the basket:

• Ether (ETH) – 42.34%
• XRP – 26.11%
• Solana (SOL) – 21.09%

Other holdings include Hyperliquid (5.76%) and smaller allocations to Chainlink (LINK), Avalanche (AVAX) and Sui.

Weight limits and rebalancing

Grayscale caps any single asset at 40% and resets the weights every three months. Ether has already exceeded this cap since the model’s launch on July 27.

Performance overview

Since its inception, the model shows a 30.69% net gain, driven primarily by a strong August performance. Six of the seven underlying funds are trading below their launch levels, and the Grayscale XRP Trust ETF is down 38.51% from its initial price.

Advisor perspective

According to Laurie Katz, Grayscale’s Global Head of Distribution, the models aim to simplify digital‑asset exposure for advisors, who can replicate the mix using Grayscale’s exchange‑traded funds. Grayscale does not charge a separate fee for the models, and the underlying funds have an average expense ratio of 0.23%.
