Grayscale, one of the world's largest cryptocurrency-focused investment firms, announced the launch of an ETF that includes Bitcoin and four altcoins. In its announcement, Grayscale stated that today, the Grayscale CoinDesk Crypto 5 ETF, formerly known as the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund, has started trading on NYSE Arca as the first multi-asset ETP in the U.S. GDLC is introduced as the first multi-asset crypto ETP providing investment opportunities in five major and most liquid cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano. Focusing on BTC, ETH, SOL, ADA, and XRP, GDLC offers investment opportunities in over 90% of the market capitalization of this asset class, making it an attractive option for investors seeking broad participation in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
“GDLC provides a broad exposure to the crypto asset class by focusing on the latest market leaders Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and ADA.
In this context, GDLC offers exposure to more than 90% of the cryptocurrency market capitalization through a single fund.
Grayscale CEO Peter Mintzberg said: “Today's listing marks a historic milestone for the entire crypto ETP world. The Grayscale CoinDesk Crypto 5 ETF has been meeting the growing demand from investors for exposure to crypto in various ways for nearly a decade, and investors are increasingly turning to a variety of ETP packages for their crypto exposures. GDLC is a specially designed innovation created to meet this demand, providing simple and transparent access to the most liquid and largest crypto assets.” This is not a recommendation.
