Solana and Uniswap Added to Grayscale Fund

Grayscale Investments, the world’s largest digital currency asset manager, announced Friday the quarterly rebalancing of its two diversified portfolios: the large-cap fund and the defi (decentralized finance) fund.

For the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund (OTCQX: GDLC), the company sold some of the existing components and used the cash proceeds to purchase solana (SOL) and uniswap (UNI). Grayscale said:

[This is] the first time solana (SOL) will be included in a Grayscale investment vehicle.

This was also the first time uniswap was added to the large-cap fund. However, the token has been in the Grayscale Defi Fund since the portfolio launched in July.
