This fund excludes Ethereum from its portfolio.
This ex-Ethereum portfolio offers American investors a unique opportunity to get in on the ground floor of some promising smart contract platforms. Let’s discover how Grayscale is changing the distribution of its crypto investments.
Top Three Holdings: Solana, Cardano, and Avalanche
First up, we have Solana (SOL), which takes the biggest share with a whopping 55.22% weight in the fund. Solana’s recent announcements include the launch of Solana Seeker. Also, a Web3 mobile device, and ZK Compression, offering developers 1,000x cost savings.
Additionally, Solana is expanding its ecosystem with integrations like sBTC and Play Solana’s Web3 gaming device, cementing its position as a leader in blockchain innovation.
Next in line is Cardano (ADA) at 20.82%. Cardano, a blockchain known for its focus on scalability and sustainability, has been making strides with recent updates. Key announcements include the collaboration with World Mobile to expand connectivity in underserved regions. Additionally, its Hydra scaling solution continues to improve transaction efficiency. Cardano’s commitment to innovation and global accessibility keeps it at the forefront of blockchain technology.
We rebalanced and updated the components of our 4 multi-asset funds, Grayscale Decentralized AI Fund, $DEFG, $GDLC, and Grayscale Smart Contract Platform Ex-Ethereum Fund.
