Grayscale includes SOL and UNI while rebalancing Digital Large Cap Fund

Solana (SOL) and Uniswap (UNI) are performing really well these days, and the results are visible. Grayscale Investments, the famous crypto asset manager, revealed that it is including SOL and UNI recently after rebalancing Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund (GDLC) portfolio.

The New York-based company said that it continues to reduce its holdings of Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Litecoin (LTC) and added Solana and Uniswap, making 3.24% and 1.06% of the Fund components, respectively. The rebalancing of GDLC happens on a quarterly time period in which the company sells the portfolio’s existing components to get some funds and adds new good-performing crypto coins.
