The world’s largest crypto asset manager Grayscale Investments is living up to its name. Recent data posted by the firm reveals that it purchased nearly $1 billion worth of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in a single day. This new daily record beats its previous record of $1.2 billion in a single week.
The company now holds a whopping $30.1 billion in cryptocurrencies, with Bitcoin holding the mammoth share. Comparing the firm’s update for February 3 and February 4, the value of Grayscale’s Bitcoin holding rose by $600 million, while its Ethereum Trust added around $200 million within 24 hours.
