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.

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.
