Tradeblock is the Calculation Agent for a series of Index used by Grayscale to compute the NAV of each their Funds.
They are now part, just like Coindesk and Grayscale of the same "Digital Currency Group" products.
The good thing is that they are a separate entity from Grayscale, so they are in theory avoiding any conflict of interests.
Anyway, good point, their website is quite informative of the details of the index computations, so nice way of keeping track of those issues.
