“The rise of disruptive technologies has created compelling opportunities for Grayscale’s investors since our 2013 inception, and we believe the launch of the Grayscale Decentralized AI Fund provides an opportunity to invest in Decentralized AI at its earliest phase,” Rayhaneh Sharif-Askary, Grayscale’s head of product & research, said.

According to Sharif-Askary, these AI-related protocols bring to the fore the key principles of decentralization, accessibility, and transparency. Given these features, the protocols have the potential to help mitigate fundamental risks that are likely to emerge as the world grapples with the proliferation of artificial intelligence technology.

Grayscale’s AI Fund will be available to eligible accredited investors only.

The AI crypto ecosystem is currently a $30 billion market that has other top AI tokens as the Internet Computer (ICP), Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET), and The Graph (GRT).

Akash Network (AKT) and AIOZ Network (AIOZ) also fall into this category of AI-focused crypto projects.
