$75 Million Fund Aims to Democratize Institutional XRP Trading Strategies
A new $75 million fund, Gratus Reserve V, LLC, has filed a preliminary offering circular with the SEC to register a diversified corporate treasury. The fund aims to reduce transaction costs in XRP transactions by providing direct access to liquidity pools, eliminating hidden spreads on retail platforms, higher brokerage fees, and price slippage.
According to the company's calculations, purchasing $5,000 worth of XRP through institutional OTC desks costs investors nearly 10 times less than executing an equivalent transaction on the retail market. This is achieved by bypassing hidden spreads and higher fees associated with retail platforms.
The fund's treasury strategy also includes assets aligned with the ISO 20022 international standard for interbank messaging, such as Stellar (XLM), Cardano (ADA), Hedera (HBAR), and Quant (QNT). To balance the infrastructure component of its portfolio, the fund intends to acquire Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL).
The Gratus Reserve V initiative reflects changes in the structure of corporate reserve management through Digital Asset Treasury Holdings. The filing with the SEC coincided with a trend recorded this year toward the long-term accumulation of XRP and leading altcoins by large on-chain addresses.
