According to the report, the company recorded $905.8 million total investment into Grayscale products during the second quarter of the year.
“Grayscale recorded its largest quarterly inflows, $905.8 million in 2Q20, nearly double the previous quarterly high of $503.7 million in 1Q20. For the first time, inflows into Grayscale products over a 6-month period crossed the $1 billion thresholds, demonstrating sustained demand for digital asset exposure despite a backdrop characterized by economic uncertainty,” Grayscale noted in the report.

Grayscale Bitcoin Trust and Grayscale Ethereum Trust both experienced record quarterly inflows of $751.1 million and $135.2 million, respectively,” it explained.
