Grayscale Launches Decentralized AI Fund Including TAO, NEAR, and Render

Grayscale has launched a new fund focused on decentralized AI, offering accredited investors exposure to the growing intersection of blockchain and artificial intelligence. The Grayscale Decentralized AI Fund holds five digital assets: TAO (30.1%), NEAR (28.5%), Render (17.7%), Filecoin (14.9%), and The Graph (8.5%). These tokens were selected to represent protocols building decentralized AI services, tools addressing risks tied to centralized AI, and infrastructure supporting AI development.

Shares are structured as securities tied to token prices, allowing investors to gain exposure without directly holding the assets. They are offered through private placement and limited to accredited investors, typically those earning over $200,000 annually or with a net worth above $1 million. Grayscale said the fund provides a differentiated way to gain exposure to decentralized AI while leveraging its crypto investment expertise.
