id=\"caption-attachment-487118\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Grayscale's Top 20 Crypto List (Source: Grayscale)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Why AVAX and MORPHO were added<\/h2>\n<p>Grayscale said Avalanche made the cut following a noticeable increase in activity across its ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>The investment firm explained that Avalanche has seen meaningful growth in transaction volumes,\u00a0which may be linked to the integration of blockchain-powered gaming titles and stablecoin usage.<\/p>\n<p>While the long-term sustainability of this growth remains uncertain, the firm sees it as a promising signal of traction within the network.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Grayscale stated that it added DeFi lending protocol Morpho due to its rapid growth in the past year.<\/p>\n<p>According to the firm, Morpho doubled its total value to over $4 billion and generated an annualized fee income approaching $100 million during the past year.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, its newly launched second version aims to attract institutional players and further strengthen its position in the decentralized finance space.<\/p>\n<p>Considering this, Grayscale wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Grayscale Research is optimistic about the future of on-chain lending activity, and Morpho seems well positioned to potentially capture a meaningful share of that growth (along with the other lending-related protocols on the Top 20 list, Aave and Maple Finance).&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>XRP is missing from Grayscale's list<\/h2>\n<p>Notably, Grayscale's revised list does not include several high-profile digital assets such as <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/xrp\/\">XRP<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/cardano\/\">Cardano<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/bnb\/\">BNB<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/tron\/\">TRON<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While these assets remain among the largest by market cap, Grayscale clarified that its Top 20 list focuses on assets with strong fundamentals, upcoming catalysts, and sustainable network activity.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, those assets have seen significant ecosystem developments and institutional adoption this year.<\/p>\n<p>For context, XRP has seen increased attention in recent months, partly due to Ripple\u2019s enterprise partnerships and continued <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/ripple-partners-with-wormhole-to-expand-xrp-ledgers-cross-chain-capabilities\/\">expansion of the XRP Ledger.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The same can be said for Cardano, which has made strides with its <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/cardano-sets-sights-on-a-new-era-of-scalability-with-layer-2-advancements\/\">scaling roadmap<\/a> and plans to incorporate Bitcoin within its DeFi ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>However, both assets have underperformed the broader market despite the current bullish sentiments in the industry.<\/p>\n<p><em>CryptoSlate's<\/em> data shows that XRP has declined more than 4% since the start of the year and remains roughly 45% below its all-time high. At the same time, Cardano's ADA has fallen over 35% in the same period and sits more than 80% below peak levels.<\/p>\n<p>So, this lack of price momentum may be one reason for their continued exclusion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grayscale has updated its Top 20 crypto assets for the third quarter of 2025, naming Avalanche (AVAX) and Morpho as new entrants while dropping Optimism and Lido DAO, according to a July 26 report.
