STAMFORD, Conn., Jan. 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Grayscale Investments®, the world’s largest digital currency asset manager, and manager of Grayscale® Digital Large Cap Fund (OTCQX: GDLC) (Digital Large Cap Fund), Grayscale® DeFi Fund (OTCQB: DEFG) (DeFi Fund), and Grayscale® Smart Contract Platform Ex-Ethereum Fund (GSCPxE Fund), today announced the updated Fund Component weightings for each product in connection with their respective fourth quarter 2022 reviews.

In accordance with the CoinDesk Large Cap Select Index methodology, Grayscale has adjusted the Digital Large Cap Fund’s portfolio by selling certain amounts of the existing Fund Components in proportion to their respective weightings. As a result of the rebalancing, Avalanche (AVAX) has been removed from the CoinDesk Large Cap Select Index and Digital Large Cap Fund. No tokens were added to the Digital Large Cap Fund.

At the end of the day on January 5, 2023, the Digital Large Cap Fund’s Fund Components were a basket of the following assets and weightings.*

  • Bitcoin (BTC), 65.02%
  • Ethereum (ETH), 30.73%
  • Cardano (ADA), 1.86%
  • Polygon (MATIC), 1.39%
  • Solana (SOL), 1.00%

In accordance with the CoinDesk DeFi Select Index methodology, Grayscale has adjusted the DeFi Fund’s portfolio by selling certain amounts of the existing Fund Components in proportion to their respective weightings, and using the cash proceeds to purchase Synthetix (SNX). No tokens were removed from the DeFi Fund.

Synthetix (SNX)

SNX is a digital asset that is created and transmitted through the operations of the peer-to-peer Synthetix network, a decentralized protocol that enables trading of synthetic digital assets without an intermediary. The Synthetix network allows users to gain exposure to real-world currencies, commodities, stocks, and indices through a decentralized trading platform. In order to create a synthetic asset that mirrors a specific real-world asset, users deposit SNX as collateral, and are issued the synthetic asset in return. Users may then trade the synthetic asset with other synthetic assets available on the Synthetix platform. In other words, synthetic assets are collateralized by a pool of SNX tokens. Holders of SNX have the ability to stake their SNX as collateral to earn exchange rewards that are generated by fees on the network. Additionally, users who stake SNX are rewarded through inflation of the monetary supply of SNX. SNX holders also have the ability to use their tokens to vote for members of various Synthetix Councils who help govern the direction of the protocol.

Synthetix was originally founded by Cain Warwick as a project called Havven in June of 2018. In December of 2018 the project was renamed Synthetix and pivoted to creating a platform for trading of synthetic assets.

At the end of the day on January 5, 2023, the DeFi Fund’s Fund Components were a basket of the following assets and weightings.*

  • Uniswap (UNI), 65.05%
  • Aave (AAVE), 12.39%
  • MakerDAO (MKR), 8.15%
  • Synthetix (SNX), 6.02%
  • Curve DAO Token (CRV), 4.58%
  • Compound (COMP), 3.81%

In accordance with the CoinDesk Smart Contract Platform Select Ex ETH Index methodology, Grayscale has adjusted the GSCPxE Fund’s portfolio by selling certain amounts of the existing Fund Components in proportion to their respective weightings. As a result of the rebalancing, Algorand (ALGO) has been removed from the CoinDesk Smart Contract Platform Select Ex ETH Index and GSCPxE Fund. No tokens were added to the GSCPxE Fund.

At the end of the day on January 5, 2023, the GSCPxE Fund’s Fund Components were a basket of the following assets and weightings.*

  • Cardano (ADA), 28.08%
  • Polygon (MATIC), 20.94%
  • Polkadot (DOT), 15.98%
  • Solana (SOL), 15.12%
  • Avalanche (AVAX), 11.12%
  • Cosmos (ATOM), 8.76%

Neither the Digital Large Cap Fund, the DeFi Fund, nor the GSCPxE Fund generate any income, and all regularly distribute Fund Components to pay for ongoing expenses. Therefore, the amount of Fund Components represented by shares of each fund gradually decreases over time.
