Filecoin Could Keep Gaining Based on Institutional Demand

The latter Wall Street firm recently launched the FIL trust that is now valued at $8.58 million thus hinting of continual interest in the investment product by institutions.

According to data from Bybt.com, Grayscale has accumulated 29,554 FIL ($6.3 million) in the last 24 hours with a total holding of 45,550 Filecoin as seen in the following screenshot. Such a large accumulation in one day, is a sign of possible additional accumulation of FIL by Grayscale.
