Critical Move by Grayscale, the Largest Crypto Asset Manager: Removed Two Altcoins From Its Funds

Grayscale, the world's largest cryptocurrency asset manager, announced in its statement that it has made adjustments to its altcoins in index funds as of today.

Grayscale re-evaluates the assets in its funds each quarter. The company's index funds consist of Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund, Grayscale DeFi Fund, and Grayscale Non-Ethereum Smart Contract Platform Fund.

According to the official statement, with the update made to the fund components of the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund, Cardano ($ADA) has now been removed from this fund. The fund now only includes BTC, ETH, $SOL, XRP and $AVAX.

In addition, no new tokens were added or tokens were removed within the Grayscale DeFi Fund. The fund will continue to operate in the same way. The fund in question includes UNI, MKR, LDO, AAVE and SNX.

However, Grayscale made an important change in the Grayscale Non-Ethereum Smart Contract Platform Fund. As a result of the evaluations, the altcoin basket in the fund has been restructured to no longer include the Cosmos (ATOM) altcoin. From now on, the fund will consist of $SOL, $ADA, $AVAX, DOT and MATIC altcoins.
