The digital asset management firm Grayscale Investments announced the completion of its quarterly review to update the weightings of its Digital Large Cap Fund (DLC).

As per the above representation, the assets within the DLC comprises of Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Bitcoin Cash, and Litecoin, with most of it represented by the king crypto. Interestingly enough, the company highlighted that “no new assets qualified for inclusion following DLC Fund’s Quarterly Review (9/30/19),” although the latest composition has seen reduction in all the altcoins between June 30 and September 30, 2019.
Out of the lot, Litecoin suffered the highest with over 30% reduction while XRP witnessed the least displacement of just above 9%. The next update on the Quarterly Review is expected to be available by the end of December 2019.
