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.

A growing number of publicly traded companies are stockpiling digital assets in their corporate treasuries—a sign of growing interest in crypto as prices soar. But as more firms imitate software firm Strategy’s token-HODLing playbook, things have become weird. Several publicly traded companies with unorthodox operating businesses are beginning to add Bitcoin and other virtual currencies to their balance sheets. Noodle giants, love hotel operators, and telemedicine cannabis prescribers are amon...
Grayscale has challenged the U.S. Security and Exchange Commission’s move to pause the debut of its exchange-traded fund that holds Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Cardano, alleging its investors are “suffering harm” as a result of the hold-up. In a letter dated July 8, the asset manager urged the Securities Commission to allow its Digital Large Cap Fund to begin trading. Grayscale added that it may file a petition to force the regulator to allow its fund to begin trading as soon as possib...
