Grayscale Investments has submitted a filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch the “Grayscale Quantum Computing ETF,” signaling a new strategic direction into advanced technology investing. The ETF aims to capture value from the emerging quantum ecosystem by including firms developing critical hardware like quantum chips, sensors, and superconducting materials, as well as players in quantum communications and cryptography.
On the software front, the ETF will target companies engaged in quantum algorithm development, quantum operating systems, and cloud-based QCaaS (Quantum Computing-as-a-Service). The fund’s scope also includes supporting infrastructure such as cryogenic platforms, emulators, and simulators essential for quantum operations. Eligible companies must have a minimum market cap of $100 million and meet liquidity criteria, including an average daily trading volume of at least $1 million over the last three months.
While the ETF’s holdings have yet to be disclosed, potential inclusions could feature companies such as IonQ, D-Wave, Quantum Computing Inc., Rigetti Computing, IBM, and Nvidia. Grayscale’s filing highlights increasing investor interest in quantum technologies despite the sector’s relatively early maturity and commercialization challenges.
