Grayscale Group Review

About Grayscale Group

Grayscale-Group (operating via grayscale-group.com) is not registered to provide financial services in New Brunswick; the Financial and Consumer Services Commission issued a caution on March 18, 2025—warning that the company is not authorised to deal or advise in securities in that jurisdiction, and explicitly noting its claimed location as Zurich, Switzerland; the notice also cautions against confusing it with regulated entities such as Grayscale Investments, LLC, Grayscale Advisors, LLC, or Grayscale Securities, LLC, which are unrelated (). In addition, the British Columbia Securities Commission issued a warning on April 10, 2025, stating that Grayscale Group was offering financial services or products without authorisation ().

The entity is not found in the FINMA registry, contradicting its claimed Swiss jurisdiction, and no valid regulatory license is present ().

The domain has a low trust score (10/100), is relatively new, has obscured WHOIS information, and lacks presence in search engine results and the Internet Archive—indicating minimal transparency and raising serious credibility concerns ().

Who it’s for
