Grayscale's New Crypto ETF, GDLC, Begins Trading on NYSE Arca
In a significant move for the digital asset industry, Grayscale's new CoinDesk Crypto 5 ETF (GDLC) has commenced trading on NYSE Arca. This ETF, launched in 2018 and publicly traded since 2019 on OTCQX, offers exposure to the five largest and most liquid crypto assets: Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana, and Cardano.
GDLC tracks the CoinDesk 5 Index, developed by CoinDesk Indices. The "crypto universe" for the CD5 Index consists of the top 100 tokens by market capitalization, excluding stablecoins and memecoins. As of today, GDLC delivers exposure to over 90% of the market capitalization of the digital asset class.
Grayscale, a digital asset-focused investment platform, enables investors to access the digital economy through a family of future-forward investment products. Foreside Fund Services, LLC is the Marketing Agent and Grayscale Investments Sponsors, LLC is the sponsor of GDLC.
It is important to note that GDLC is not subject to the same regulations and protections as '40 Act-registered ETFs and mutual funds. Cryptocurrency, as an asset class, is highly volatile, illiquid at times, and for investors with a high-risk tolerance. It is also more susceptible to market manipulation than securities.
Investors are advised to read the prospectus and other documents before investing in GDLC for more complete information. These documents can be obtained for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC Web site at www.sec.gov. The fund rebalances quarterly to maintain alignment with the leading assets in the crypto market.
Grayscale CoinDesk Crypto 5 ETF has been among the first investment vehicles solely invested in a basket of large cap digital assets since becoming a Securities Exchange Act of 1934 reporting company in 2021. The ETF is managed by Grayscale Investments, a renowned company specializing in cryptocurrency investment products in the United States.
Future regulation of cryptocurrency is possible. CDI, the developer of the Index, is not affiliated with Grayscale and does not approve, endorse, review, or recommend the Fund. Additional information about GDLC can be found at: https://etfs.grayscale.com/gdlc.
The CoinDesk 5 Index measures the performance of the largest and most liquid five digital assets included in the CoinDesk 20 Index. As of 8/29/2025, the CoinDesk 5 Index represented over 90% of total cryptocurrency market capitalization.
Investors are encouraged to conduct their own research and consult with financial advisors before making investment decisions in GDLC or any other cryptocurrency-related product.
