Grayscale Investments, a company that manages crypto assets, has announced the launch of an investment fund in which income will be generated by staking digital currencies.
The structure will be operated by a subsidiary company called Grayscale Advisors.
The firm used "qualitative and quantitative factors," including staking reward, market capitalization, and liquidity, to select assets backed by Grayscale Dynamic Income Fund (GDIF).
The fund's portfolio initially consists of nine tokens: Aptos (APT), Celestia (TIA), Coinbase Staked Ethereum (CBETH), Cosmos (ATOM), Near (NEAR), Osmosis (OSMO), Polkadot (DOT), SEI Network ( SEI), and Solana (SOL).
​It is planned that income distribution and rebalancing will take place quarterly.

The Fed is not ready to launch a digital dollar and is not interested in the form that will enable the surveillance of citizens. This was stated by the head of the department, Jerome Powell, during hearings in the US Senate.
During the hearing, Powell cited the digital yuan as an example of concerns that a retail CBDC would allow governments to monitor citizens and "see all transactions." According to the head of the Fed, this is "not what the agency stands for."
According to him, although it is still too early to even think about the launch of the digital dollar, in any case, it will be done through the banking system.
​According to the Atlantic Council tracker, work on creating a national digital currency is underway in 131 countries worldwide. Governments in 13 developing nations have already launched CBDCs.
