Popular retail brokerage Robinhood Markets Inc (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:HOOD) has listed two new cryptocurrency products.

What Happened: In an announcement on Friday, Barry Silbert, founder of Grayscale parent Digital Currency Group (DCG), said Robinhood had listed the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTC: GBTC) and Grayscale’s Ethereum Trust (OTC: ETHE).

GBTC is the world’s largest Bitcoin fund with $23 billion in assets under management. In November, the fund had an AUM of over $43 billion. The fund trades like a stock over the counter and derives its value from the price of Bitcoin.

GBTC is also the investment vehicle of choice for institutions looking for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) exposure. In March, filings revealed that Morgan Stanley (NYSE: NYSE:MS) had overtaken Ark Invest to become GBTC’s largest shareholder.

Industry watchers believe that Grayscale is a strong contender to have the first spot Bitcoin ETF approved by the SEC.

Price Action: Year to date, GBTC is down 26% and ETHE is down 39.4%. As per data from Benzinga Pro, Bitcoin was trading at $33,700 and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) was trading at $2,470.
