Grayscale Investments announced the launch of its DeFi Fund for institutional investors. This move is in a collaboration with CoinDesk Indexes on July 19. It will allow investors exposure to multiple DeFi heavyweight / blue-chip protocols, which might be cumbersome or inconvenient to buy and manage individually. DeFi fund is an index fund featuring a weighted average of the top ten DeFi protocols.
For now, the index composition is as follows:
- Uniswap (UNI), 49.95%
- Aave (AAVE), 10.25%
- Compound (COMP), 8.38%
- Curve (CRV), 7.44%
- MakerDAO (MKR), 6.49%
- SushiSwap (SUSHI), 4.83%
- Synthetix (SNX), 4.43%
- Yearn Finance (YFI), 3.31%
- UMA Protocol (UMA), 2.93%
- Bancor Network Token (BNT), 2.00%
However, subject to quarterly review, it’s likely to change asset/composition wise as the marketcap and other parameters of DeFi protocols fluctuate. This is Grayscale’s fifth investment product and second diversified fund. It’s likely to become the main funnel of institutional money into DeFi protocols, seeing the impact of Grayscale’s other funds for popular cryptocurrencies.
The DeFi fund from Grayscale currently has only $2.4M assets under management (AUM) – a value which is likely to rise rapidly as awareness spreads about the potential and benefits of a diversified and methodically defined DeFi protocols index fund, a must for any crypto-investor looking to spread risk and invest in the top DeFi protocols.
