Grayscale DeFi Fund Now Available to Public Investors

Grayscale first launched the DeFi Fund in July 2021 but restricted its trading to only privately-accredited investors. However, on Dec. 9, it announced that U.S.-based accredited investors can publicly buy and sell the DEFG Shares.

DEFG enables investors to purchase some of the outstanding 233,960 Shares and gain exposure to a diversified basket of DeFi assets in a single investment vehicle. According to GrayScale, the current composition of the DeFi Fund include 68.88% of Uniswap (UNI), 13% of Aave (AAVE), 8.89% of Maker (MKR), 5.14% of Curve (CRV), and 4.09% of Compound (COMP).

The DeFi Fund will use the CoinDesk DeFi Select Index (DFX) to evaluate and rebalance the underlying assets on a quarterly basis.

    A popular trend kicked off by the Compound Protocol in the Spring of 2020 was governance tokens for DeFi protocols. The dream of governance tokens was a beautiful ideal. Simply by using a protocol, you would automatically and freely receive ownership of it. Decision making around the protocol would be decentralized allowing thousands and ultimately millions to have their say and vote on changes to the protocol.
