Grayscale has introduced a new model portfolio for financial advisors, where XRP accounts for 26.11%. This makes the token the second most significant position in the Digital Assets Next Gen portfolio. The model portfolio represents a predefined strategy: Grayscale sets the assets and allocation, and advisors can replicate this combination in client accounts using exchange-traded funds.
The Next Gen portfolio does not include Bitcoin. As of August 31, the portfolio consists of seven funds: Ethereum makes up 42.34%, XRP – 26.11%, and Solana – 21.09%. These three assets constitute nearly 89% of the total portfolio. Hyperliquid (HYPE) – a trading-focused blockchain token – adds 5.76%. The remaining funds (Chainlink, Avalanche, and Sui) share the remaining portion. The allocation for each asset is capped at 40%, with rebalancing occurring every three months. Ethereum has already exceeded this limit since the model's launch in July.
XRP is trading around $1.42, having gained approximately 5% in the past 24 hours, and ranks fifth by market capitalization. The Grayscale XRP Trust is currently 38.51% below its starting price. In the first half of the year, this trust sold tokens worth $180 million – at a loss. Six out of seven funds in the model are priced below their launch price. Overall, the model has yielded a net return of 30.69% since July 27.
"Advisors are increasingly looking for ways to add digital assets to client portfolios without the need to manually select and maintain individual assets," noted Grayscale's Global Head of Distribution, Lori Katz.
