A Grayscale spokesperson confirmed to Cointelegraph that the fund manager didn’t dump massive stakes of XRP and XLM
Bybt data apparently showing a massive liquidation of XRP and Stellar Lumens by Grayscale Investments earlier this week is inaccurate, according to the investment company.
On Wednesday Dec. 30, a public Bybt data set suggested that Grayscale Investments reduced its exposure to XRP by roughly 9.19 million units and that the fund also cut its XLM holdings by over 9.74 million units. According to Bybt data, the net change in holdings occurred over 24 hours on Dec. 29.
Cointelegraph accessed the data before Grayscale released its daily AUM report for Dec. 29 and noted in an article that Grayscale had reportedly sold significant amounts of XRP and XLM.
Efforts to reach Grayscale on Wednesday were unsuccessful. However on Thursday a Grayscale spokesperson told Cointelegraph:
“None of the Grayscale investment products operate a redemption program. The net holdings of our investment products only change as a result of inflows from the private placement, price of the underlying assets and accrued management fee.”
“Statements about large sales of underlying assets by any of our investment products are false and inaccurate. Any perceived large decrease in the USD value of Grayscale XRP Trust would have been a result of a decrease in the USD price of XRP.”
Bybt’s data feed still shows a large outflow of XRP and XLM from Grayscale over the past seven days, both in terms of AUM and actual units of XRP and XLM held. These figures appeared under the “24H Change” column on Wednesday.
The Grayscale AUM report for Dec. 30 was released on Thursday. It reads:
