Michael Sonnenshein, Managing Director at Grayscale, said the Stellar product was created in response to investor demand. Furthermore, Sonnenshein added that he is personally bullish on Stellar’s real-world use case, which is to act as a bridge currency in transactional money corridors.
Michael Sonnenshein said:
“We are pleased to bring Grayscale Stellar Lumens Trust to market and will continue to provide investors access to established blockchain projects with substantial traction and resources. Grayscale has established a leadership role in this emerging industry and the launch of this product will expand our coverage of the digital asset universe.”
It is likely that the launch of the Greyscale Stellar Lumens Trust will give a boost to the cryptocurrency Lumens (XLM) in the future. Greyscale is a subsidiary of crypto behemoth Digital Currency Group, a group that has big hedge funds as clients.
At the time of writing, XLM is trading at $0.109, up 1.68% over the past 24-hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
