Grayscale Investments has filed a proposal with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to launch the Grayscale Quantum Computing ETF, signaling a strategic push into next-generation technology investing.
The proposed ETF would focus on companies driving advancements in quantum computing, spanning both hardware and software domains. Targeted investments include manufacturers of quantum chips, processors, circuits, sensors, and superconducting materials, as well as firms developing quantum communication networks and cryptographic systems.
On the software side, the ETF aims to include developers of quantum operating systems, algorithms, programming languages, and cloud-based Quantum-Computing-as-a-Service (QCaaS) providers. Critical infrastructure such as cryogenic systems, emulators, and simulators would also be part of the fund’s scope.
To qualify for inclusion into the fund, securities must be listed in developed or emerging markets, have a minimum market cap of $100M, and meet liquidity thresholds with at least $1M in three-month average daily trading volume.
Grayscale’s move reflects growing investor interest in quantum computing’s long-term potential, though the industry remains in its early stages. More details, including a ticker symbol and launch date, are yet to be announced.
Furthermore, no holdings were listed in the filing either, but some potential names may include shares of IonQ (NYSE:IONQ), D-Wave Quantum (NYSE:QBTS), Quantum Computing Inc (NASDAQ:QUBT), Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ:RGTI), IBM (NYSE:IBM), and Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA).
