Grayscale sells AVAX: Price has dropped
Avalanche (AVAX) price tumbled nearly 2% on the day after the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund sold its holdings. Grayscale announced in an SEC report Friday morning that it was rebalancing its portfolio, saying it “re-adjusted relevant weights by selling Avalanche (AVAX) from the fund’s portfolio, using the cash income to buy existing fund components on a pro-rata basis.”
Noticing the change in a thread on Twitter, the investment giant said it has rebalanced its DeFi Fund to add Synthetix (SNX) and Smart Contract Platform Ex-Ethereum Fund to remove Algorand (ALGO).
Shortly after the announcement, the AVAX price tumbled around 2%. It is currently trading below $12.00, down 15% from a month ago.
Note that AVAX is only a small part of the portfolio of the Grayscale fund, which currently has $163 million in assets under management (AUM). As of September 30, AVAX accounted for less than 1% of fund assets according to its latest quarterly report.
Grayscale will buy these 4 altcoins with cash from AVAX
Currently, the fund includes 65% Bitcoin, 31% Ethereum, 2% Cardano (ADA) and around 1% Polygon (MATIC) and Solana (SOL). According to the report, Grayscale will spend the cash obtained from AVAX for Bitcoin and these 4 altcoins.
