Who Can Invest?
According to the information by Grayscale, these new trusts are available for daily subscriptions.

These news funds work similar to Grayscale’s existing single asset trusts that invest solely in a single cryptocurrency.
The Head of Product and Research for Grayscale, Rayhaneh Sharif-Askary says
We are excited to add Bittensor and Sui to our product suite, and believe Bittensor is at the center of the growth of decentralized AI, while Sui is redefining the smart contract blockchain” She further adds “With the launch of Grayscale Bittensor Trust and Grayscale Sui Trust, we continue to provide investors with familiar products that enable access to tokens at the cutting edge of the crypto ecosystem’s continued evolution.
High Risk Products by Grayscale
Grayscale shares that it will try to get its new products on the secondary market for trading; however, this does not always result in success. There have been cases when its certain products reached the secondary market. However, the investors in the new products should not assume these new products will receive the same fate. There are multiple factors including regulators like SEC and FINRA that may or may not let the product enter secondary markets. Keeping these conditions in mind, the investors should stay prepared to bear the risks in these investments. There have been times when some products traded on premium while some had to be traded on discounts.
