According to Grayscale’s Q1 2020 report, the asset manager ended 2019 with an AUM of about $2 billion but the rising popularity of crypto assets and the skyrocketing prices resulted in huge growth to over $20 billion in AUM. Its founder and CEO Barry Silbert outlined the 10x annual growth on his Twitter account. The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust accounts for about $17,5 billion of all the assets while in comparison the second biggest product the ETH Trust has a share of a little over $2 billion.

The strategists from the US multinational investment bank JPMorgan Chase and Co highlighted the crucial role of Grayscale for the crypto industry. The analysts even warned the prices could drop if the inflows in the company’s product decrease. The information shared by the monitoring resources CryptoWhale asserted that Grayscale took advantage of the recent XRP developments with a huge purchase at the end of the year.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission charged Ripple for conducting the $1.3 billion unregistered security offering with many crypto exchanges starting to delist the XRP token with the price crashing about 70% to below $0.20 in a few weeks. CryptoWhale data indicated that Grayscale completed the largest purchase of XRP worth $12.48 million coins on New Year. The asset price reacted fast with a 20% surge which took it to $0.24.

Both Grayscale and BitGo now hold billion worth of crypto assets under custody while the interest from institutional investors sparked once Michael Saylor announced that his company Microstrategy will invest in BTC in the summer.
