Crypto investment firm Grayscale today added Cardano (ADA) to its Digital Large Cap Fund. The New York City-based company announced that the altcoin would make up 4.26% of the fund.
Most of Grayscale’s Digital Large Cap Fund is still BitcoinBitcoin (67.47%) and EthereumEthereum (25.39%) but the company wanted to add Cardano, the fifth largest cryptocurrency by market cap, to diversify its portfolio, it said.
Grayscale added Chainlink (LINK) to its Digital Large Cap Fund in April. LINK now makes up 0.86% of the fund.
“We are excited to welcome Cardano to our Digital Large Cap Fund’s portfolio as we work to ensure that our diversified Fund can safely hold assets that collectively comprise 70% of the entire digital asset market,” Edward McGee, Vice President of Finance at Grayscale, said in a statement.
Cardano is a blockchainblockchain platform that competes with the likes of Ethereum. Cardano’s founder, Charles Hoskinson, also co-founded the Ethereum network. The project calls itself the “first third generation cryptocurrency” and, like Ethereum, aims to be a platform on which people can create smart contractssmart contracts (bits of code that carry out instructions automatically.)
ADA, Cardano’s native cryptocurrency, has climbed up the ranks within the last year. It’s now the fifth-most valuable crypto asset around, with a market cap of $43 billion. ADA was today trading at $1.35, up nearly 1% in the past 24 hours, according to CoinGecko.
Grayscale funds allow investors to have a stake in certain cryptocurrencies without actually holding them, by buying shares pegged to the value of the coins in each fund. This way, investors don’t need to worry about the buying and storing of cryptocurrencies, which can be complex for the traditional investor.
ARK Invest, the investment firm headed by Cathie Wood, went big during Bitcoin’s drop below $30,000 on Tuesday, snapping up $29 million in Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) shares. According to data shared by the investment firm, the addition of 1,046,002 shares of GBTC was made through ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (ARKW), one of the company’s six actively managed funds. Tuesday's purchase brought ARKW’s total holdings of GBTC to almost 8.6 million shares worth $238.9 million. With a weigh...
The rest of its Digital Large Cap Fund is made up of Bitcoin Cash (1.03%) and Litecoin (0.99%)—two other assets that sit in the top 20 biggest cryptocurrencies by market cap.

Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump have teamed up with Bitcoin mining heavyweight Hut 8 to launch American Bitcoin, a new industrial-scale mining firm that plans to become the “world’s largest and most efficient Bitcoin miner.” Announced on March 31, the venture was born out of a strategic deal in which Bitcoin mining company Hut 8 contributed the majority of its mining hardware to American Data Centers Inc., a company backed by the Trump sons. The firm was then rebranded as American Bitcoin—a majo...
Smoke from Nicaraguan cigars choked out the room as a heavy-set Bitcoin miner from the Deep South explained how the industry was expanding at an exponential rate. "You have no idea," he said at this year's Mining Disrupt pre-party in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, before following up with the common Bitcoiner maxim—repeated by President Trump on the campaign trail—that you should never sell your stash. Having been involved in the space since the early days, he recalled buying a Ferrari with orange c...
Elon Musk’s favorite cryptocurrency made a comeback at the end of last year as retail investors flooded back into the market to snap up Dogecoin. The coin was launched as a joke in 2013, but has persisted over the years and remained prominent. But just how serious is the business of mining the O.G. meme coin? People are actively buying the machines to do so, according to vendors at this year’s Mining Disrupt conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Though the conference was heavily focused on th...
