This decision was part of the fund’s routine quarterly rebalancing.
It aimed to optimize its portfolio in line with current market dynamics and the fund’s strategic objectives.
Quarterly Rebalancing Targets Portfolio Optimization
The GDLC is known for providing investors exposure to a selection of leading digital currencies. Its composition reflects Grayscale’s analysis of the crypto market’s most valuable and promising assets. Following the rebalancing, the fund now predominantly holds BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, and AVAX. This change involved selling Cardano and reallocating the proceeds to other fund components based on their portfolio weightings.
