The firm said the product has been built using its substantial experience in the crypto ecosystem “across trading, liquidity, and risk expertise,” allowing it to create an ETF that is suitable for both retail and institutional investors. GSR will rebalance its portfolio weekly based on “research-driven signals,” as it seeks the best rate of return.
“Core3 answers the three questions every crypto investor faces: what to own, how to earn yield while you hold, and how to be positioned as markets evolve,” said GSR’s Managing Director of Asset Management Andy Baehr, in a statement.
