Asset manager Grayscale Investments launched a new investment fund for Avalanche’s native token, AVAX, according to an Aug. 22 announcement.&nbsp;
The Grayscale Avalanche Trust “offers investors the opportunity to gain exposure to Avalanche (AVAX), a three-chain smart contract platform designed to simultaneously optimize for scalability, network security, and decentralization,” Grayscale said.
Avalanche is a layer-1 blockchain network with a focus on facilitating real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, which involves converting tangible assets, such as real estate, commodities or fine art, into digital on-chain tokens.
