Which Altcoins Made Grayscale’s Q2 2025 Cut?
Grayscale, a leading digital asset manager, has revealed the latest update to its “Assets Under Consideration” list for the second quarter of 2025.
The list includes a diverse array of altcoins that could likely shape the firm’s future offerings.
Grayscale Removes Kaspa and Other Key Altcoins in Q2 2025 Update
In this latest iteration, Grayscale’s “Assets Under Consideration” list features 40 altcoins. The update indeed marks a significant overhaul of the firm’s January 2025 list, which had 39 assets. Previously, 35 assets were included in the October 2024 version.
“We’re excited to share this list of assets under consideration for inclusion in future Grayscale investment products,” the blog read.
| Grayscale Crypto Sector | Assets Under Consideration |
| Smart Contract Platforms | Aptos (APT) Arbitrum (ARB) Babylon* Berachain (BERA)* Celestia (TIA) Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR) Mantle (MNT) Monad* Movement (MOVE)* Toncoin (TON) TRON (TRX) VeChain (VET) |
| Financials | Aerodrome (AERO) Binance Coin (BNB) Ethena (ENA) Hyperliquid (HYPE) Jupiter (JUP) Lombard* Mantra (OM)* Maple (SYRUP)* Ondo Finance (ONDO) Pendle (PENDLE) Plume Network (PLUME) |
| Consumer & Culture | Aixbt by Virtuals (AIXBT) Eliza (ELIZA)* Immutable (IMX) Story (IP) |
| Utilities & Services | Akash Network (AKT) Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET) Arweave (AR) DeepBook (DEEP)* Eigen Layer (EIGEN) Geodnet (GEOD) Grass (GRASS)* Helium (HNT) Jito (JTO) Prime Intellect* Sentient* Space and Time* Walrus (WAL)* |
One of the most notable changes is the removal of Kaspa from the list’s currencies section. Notably, this update does not include any assets in this category.
Additionally, Grayscale has excluded Sei, Sonic, and Starknet from the smart contract platforms category. The financials sector also saw some changes, with the asset manager dropping THORChain and Injective Protocol from the list.
The Consumer and Culture category has also seen removals of Ai16z and Virtuals Protocol. Lastly, Grayscale has eliminated Flock.io, Hyperbolic, and Worldcoin from the Utilities and Services category. This reduction hints at the firm’s recalibration of what it considers to be foundational utilities in the changing crypto sector.
New Asset Additions for Q2 2025
Meanwhile, these removals have paved the way for the addition of several assets, including VeChain. It is now incorporated into the smart contract platforms category, signaling a growing interest in the project’s potential. Moreover, Plume Network was spotted in Financials and Aixbt by Virtuals in Consumer and Culture.
Previously, Grayscale’s Q2 2025 Top 20 list highlighted Maple Finance, Geodnet, and Story for their strong growth potential. IP, which was previously listed under Utilities and Services, has now been moved to the Consumer and Culture category. Meanwhile, SYRUP has been added to the Financials category, and GEOD has joined Utilities and Services.
Grayscale’s Q2 2025 update also introduces several assets that have yet to be classified under the Grayscale crypto sectors framework. Among these new additions are Babylon, Berachain, Monad, Movement, Lombard, Mantra, Eliza, DeepBook, and Walrus. Prime Intellect, Sentient, Space, and Time, which were featured in the last list, are also included.
“We aim to update this list as frequently as 15 days after quarter-end as the crypto ecosystem expands and the Grayscale team reviews or reevaluates additional assets. The list below is as of April 10, 2025, and is subject to change intra-quarter as some multi-asset funds reconstitute and we launch new single-asset products,” Grayscale noted.
Furthermore, two assets that previously appeared on the list, Pyth Network (PYTH) and Dogecoin (DOGE), have now joined Grayscale’s product suite. On January 31, the asset manager launched the Grayscale Dogecoin Trust.
Shortly after, on February 18, Grayscale introduced its Pyth Trust. Thus, the market now watches closely to see which of the listed assets will transition from consideration to reality.

The cryptocurrency exchange behemoth Binance has recently cleared the air around Mantra’s price crash of over 90% in just a day. According to an X post by the exchange on Monday, OM price has crashed alarmingly due to massive cross-exchange liquidations. Meanwhile, other on-chain trackers have also highlighted massive token dumps into exchanges, which rationalizes the ongoing price slump.
OM token exchanged hands at $0.7162 at the time of reporting, erasing nearly 90% intraday.
Binance Issues Statement Amid Mantra (OM) Price Crash of 90%, Here’s What Traders Should Know
Binance revealed in an X post on Monday, April 14, that it is aware of the severe price crash witnessed by Mantra. The CEX informed that its initial findings conclude – “this crash is primarily attributed to cross-exchange liquidations.”
Since October of last year, the cryptocurrency exchange titan has implemented various risk control measures, such as reducing the leverage levels with regard to the OM token to protect its users from various market risks. Besides, since January of this year, the CEX has also issued a pop-up warning for this token on the spot trading page to inform users of the change in tokenomics.
Notably, the CEX underlined that Mantra’s supply has increased since the beginning of this year, which is an alarming factor when observing price movements. Overall, Binance’s recent release has offered traders and investors clarity on factors fueling the token’s current price slump.
Why Is Mantra (OM) Price Falling?
As mentioned above, Mantra’s price has fallen nearly 90%, even hitting an intraday bottom at $0.4222. This price crash is primarily attributable to massive OM selling, liquidations, and the project facing rug-pull allegations.
Tracker Lookonchain revealed in an X post that at least 17 wallets deposited $227 million worth of tokens into exchanges right before the price crashed recently. These massive dumps totaled nearly 4.5% of the asset’s circulating supply.
Subsequently, the price slump led to $66.97 million worth of liquidations in the past 12 hours, adding severe heat to the price. When coupled with Binance’s recent update on the matter, these factors triggered a highly bearish sentiment for the coin among investors.
Crypto Trader Loses $3.3M Amid Price Slump
Besides, a crypto trader got slammed with an alarming $3.3 million loss due to the recent price crash. Going by the name JB on X, this trader revealed that his initial investment of $3.5 million is now worth merely $200,000 due to the 90% drop.
“My intention was to support the future of RWAs,” the trader added, although the current scenario remains contrary. CoinGape reported that Mantra’s team blamed “reckless liquidations” as the primary reason for the price crash.
Meanwhile, another report revealed that crypto traders lost nearly $400 million amid the OM price crash. Altogether, broader market sentiments orbiting the coin remain highly bearish, with Binance’s update only fueling the fire more.

The Mantra team has addressed the crypto community following the Mantra (OM) token price crash of over 80% in the last 24 hours. Despite the statement, the community is still concerned that this might have been a rug pull by the team, which controls a huge amount of the token’s total supply.
Mantra Team Responds Following Token Crash
In an X post, the Mantra team assured the community that the token is “fundamentally strong” despite the crash that occurred in the last 24 hours. The team blamed the crash on “reckless liquidations” and denied it had anything to do with the project.
They further assured that this had nothing to do with the team and revealed that they were looking into the Mantra price crash and would share more details about what happened as soon as possible.
In an X post, the project’s co-founder, John Patrick Mullin, further revealed that there was a massive forced liquidation from a large OM investor on a Centralized Exchange (CEX). However, he didn’t reveal whether it was one of the top crypto exchanges.
In another X post, Mullin tried to set the record straight. He stated that they didn’t delete the Telegram channel. He further remarked that the team’s tokens all remain in custody and provided a wallet address (mantra…..quam) for community members to verify this claim.
The Mantra co-founder added that they are actively figuring out why these massive forced liquidations occurred and will provide more information as soon as possible. He assured that they are still here and not going anywhere.
Mantra Price Crashes By Over 80% In 24 Hours
CoinMarketCap data shows that the Mantra price has crashed by over 80% in the last 24 hours. The token sharply dropped from an intra-day high of $6.3 to as low as $0.4. However, it has reclaimed the $1 price level following the team’s statement.
However, amid this statement, some community members still seem convinced that this was a rug pull, as the team controls a huge amount of the token’s supply. Crypto commentator Sjuul described the OM token as the LUNA of this cycle.
He further explained why the community believes the crash was a rug pull, stating that the crash began when a wallet believed to be connected to the team suddenly deposited 3.9 million OM tokens to the OKX crypto exchange. This deposit led to significant selling pressure, which caused the Mantra price to crash.
Besides the token’s crash, the broader crypto market is witnessing a downtrend following US President Donald Trump’s statement in which he debunked reports of an exemption. This comes just a day after the crypto market rebounded following reports that the US president had exempted computers, phones, and chips from his tariffs on China and other countries.

Ethereum’s shoddy run of form is reaching its lowest ebb with investors lapping at the charts in bullish fashion. Ethereum price is tipped for a rally to $4,000 after technical indicators flash glimpses of promise for the largest altcoin.
Ethereum Price To $4,800 Is In Play
Cryptocurrency analyst Javon Marks is predicting an extended rally for Ethereum price in the coming weeks on the backs of solid technicals. According to an analysis on X, Ethereum price continues to trade outside of the previous descending trendline after a strong breakout despite recent poor price performances.
Marks notes that the previous breakout triggered an extended bullish run for Ethereum but previous declines leave ETH outside the descending trendline. According to the cryptocurrency analyst, if ETH continues to trade above the trendline, a price target of $4,800 is within grasp. While Marks did not give a timeline, the $4,000 prediction aligns with Standard Chartered’s revised prediction for ETH for the end of 2025.
“With Ethereum still being well broken out of an older resisting trend the target at the $4811.71 level goes unchanged,” said Marks.
While Marks’ prediction offers a ray of hope for the bruised and battered altcoin, trading above the trendline is an uphill climb. For starters, ETH price charts are indicating lower lows and lower highs, confirming a strong downtrend.
Ethereum price has fallen to a new 5-year low against Bitcoin after posting its worst Q1 performance in nearly five years. ETH tanked to lows of $1,400 as investor optimism for the altcoin sunk to previously unseen levels.
Marks Says ETH Can Still Clinch $8,000
The analyst notes if the Ethereum price powers through the maze of challenges on its path to $4,800, it can trigger a sustained rally to $8,000. While the prediction is a steep ascent for ETH, prices have formed a 2020 historical pattern pointing to a rally.
“With this target still in play, an over 200% uphill run to reach it can take place and with the extensive post-breakout action, a break above is possible, bring $8,557.68 into play,” said Marks.
Bankless cofounder David Hoffman has revealed a strategy to improve ETH price performance. The plan involves attracting new users to the Ethereum network while ditching attempts to police users’ behavior.
Despite the possibilities for an upswing, Ethereum price is staring down the barrel of a gun. There are comparisons that the ETH price is mirroring Nokia’s decline with Solana’s rise delivering the final blow for Ethereum.
