Grayscale Broadens Its Portfolio with New PYTH Fund
The American investment firm Grayscale Investments has introduced the Grayscale Pyth Trust, a new fund that opens the door for qualified investors to gain exposure to the native PYTH token of the Pyth Network ecosystem.

Background on the Grayscale Pyth Trust Launch
