Grayscale has released a "Treasure Map," highlighting established public chains like APT, BNB, the $WLD in the AI sector, as well as the $JUP and $BONK in the Solana ecosystem.

But don’t get too excited yet; this is just a "Pending Evaluation" list, not an immediate buy signal. However, Grayscale is an industry indicator; it states that the crypto market is shifting from retail speculation to institutional pricing, and the projects on this list are likely to be the next targets for institutional funds.

Three clear signals are hidden here: public chains and financial infrastructure are essential; AI is this year's hot narrative; consumer and meme culture shouldn’t be underestimated—Bonk’s inclusion is proof of that.

Grayscale’s move highlights key areas for the market. What should we players do? Don’t blindly rush in; use institutional thinking for research. Focus on projects with practical utility, clear business models, and compliance. Cross-reference your watchlist with this list, explore the overlaps deeply, and view unfamiliar projects as opportunities to learn and expand your knowledge.
