<p>In an attention-grabbing chronicle witnessed within the cryptocurrency universe, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson recently took to a post on X, stating, “Wall Street give; Wall Street take,” pointing towards Grayscale’s recent removal of ADA in its GDLC (Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund) portfolio. This statement by the Cardano founder underscored the influence of Wall Street on the cryptocurrency and digital asset landscape, stirring speculations orbiting Wall Street’s involvement in Grayscale’s GDLC ADA removal.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, following plans to align with the CoinDesk Large cap Select Index methodology, Grayscale recently rebalanced its GDLC portfolio by selling Cardano (ADA). Simultaneously, the proceeds gained after selling were proportionally reinvested into the remaining Fund Components.</p>

<p>Following the removal of ADA from GDLC’s portfolio, the remaining assets and their weightings, <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2024/04/04/2858211/0/en/Grayscale-Digital-Large-Cap-Fund-Grayscale-DeFi-Fund-and-Grayscale-Smart-Contract-Platform-Ex-Ethereum-Fund-Announce-Rebalancing-of-Funds-for-First-Quarter-2024.html" target="_blank">per a press release by Grayscale</a>, totaled Bitcoin (BTC)- 70.96%; Ethereum (ETH)- 21.84%; Solana (SOL)- 4.52%; XRP- 1.73%; and Avalanche (AVAX)- 0.95%. Further, the firm added that no new tokens were introduced or removed from the DeFi Fund, with the Fund Components encompassing Uniswap (UNI)- 48.74%; MakerDAO (MKR)- 20.41%; Lido (LDO)- 13.17%; Aave (AAVE)- 9.99%; and Synthetix (SNX)- 7.69%.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, concerning the CoinDesk Smart Contract Platform Select ex ETH Index, Grayscale even readjusted GSCPxE’s (Grayscale® Smart Contract Platform Ex-Ethereum Fund) portfolio. This was done by selling Cosmos (ATOM), and quite similar to the abovementioned reallocation of funds, proceeds were injected into existing Fund Components in proportion to their weightings. Following the removal of ATOM from GSCPxE, the remaining funds totaled Solana (SOL)- 58.41%; Cardano (ADA)- 14.56%; Avalanche (AVAX)- 12.25%; Polkadot (DOT)- 8.53%; and Polygon (MATIC)- 6.25%.</p>

<p>According to a report by CoinGape media the previous month, <a href="https://coingape.com/cardano-news-charles-hoskinson-questions-adas-absence-from-grayscale-staking-fund/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Charles Hoskinson</a> already illustrated a sense of melancholy in Grayscale’s plans to exclude Cradano in its Dynamic Income Fund (GDIF), a fund zeroing in on tapping into the popular trend of crypto staking.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Hoskinson also appears to be taking the abovementioned GDLC removal as a payback for the Cardano founder’s dismal remarks on Ethereum Classic. Grayscale has an Ethereum Classic fund called the Grayscale Ethereum Classic Trust (ETCG), whereas it gradually continues to remove ADA from its offerings.</p>
