Suck Eggs PayPal - Grayscale Investments 3rd Consecutive Record-Breaking Quarter

PayPal has been hogging the headlines and twitter feeds with their belated attempt at trying to stay relevant. Sorry but it just doesn't excite, in fact it is almost sad to watch. PayPal has been around since 1998, thats back in the day when Hashcash, e-gold, b-money, bit gold where still a thing.

Early e-currencies That Lay the Foundation for the Development of Bitcoin https://www.publish0x.com/bragato18/early-e-currencies-that-lay-the-foundation-for-the-developme-xxoolog The Bitcoin network was not launched until January 2009.

A Brief Bitcoin History Lesson - The Genesis Block https://www.publish0x.com/bragato18/a-brief-bitcoin-history-lesson-the-genesis-block-xmdkpvg So PayPal predates Bitcoin and would have been innovative and disruptive in it's day. Thats what makes it so sad. Enough about PayPal. I thought I would post about a company, who for better or worse, is actually having a material effect on the grand daddy of them all **BITCOIN** and some other coins and tokens to boot. **Grayscale Investments** Grayscale recently released their  Grayscale Digital Asset Investment Report for 3Q20  , which was the firm’s third consecutive record-breaking quarter. https://grayscale.co/insights/grayscale-q3-2020-digital-asset-investment-report/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=dedicated&utm_campaign=101420_q3-inv-report_non-in If you have never heard of Grayscale Investments, then you can read some of my previous posts and see what they have been up to since 2013. This one got me into trouble with Publish0x and not because I spelt it **Crytpo.** Only just noticed the spelling mistake.

On average, the aforementioned products saw inflows increase by more than **1400%** quarter-over-quarter. https://grayscale.co/digital-large-cap/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=dedicated&utm_campaign=101420_q3-inv-report_non-in https://grayscale.co/bitcoin-cash-trust/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=dedicated&utm_campaign=101420_q3-inv-report_non-in https://grayscale.co/litecoin-trust/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=dedicated&utm_campaign=101420_q3-inv-report_non-in Grayscale® Bitcoin Cash Trust   has seen its assets under management surge from $1.9 billion to $4.7 billion YTD, which includes **$719.3 million** in 3Q20 inflows. https://grayscale.co/bitcoin-cash-trust/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=dedicated&utm_campaign=101420_q3-inv-report_non-in Grayscale® Ethereum Trust has attracted the attention of a new segment of Ethereum-only institutional allocators, with over **17%** of inflows into the Trust coming from new institutional investors in 3Q20. https://grayscale.co/ethereum-trust/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=dedicated&utm_campaign=0101420_q3-inv-report_non-in To get the full report you need to submit the following request to Grayscale Investments

Suck Eggs PayPal Grayscale Investments have been in the game since 2013. You have left you run a bit late. Maybe if you had bought Coinbase or Binance, it would have been material and worthy of the headlines . Or even better still if Binance or Coinbase had bought you. Sorry but that is just plain silly, that would not have made any sense. But what a headline it would have made. That would have been a splash and a half.
