The rebalance expands across three funds—the Smart Contract Fund, DeFi Fund, and Decentralized AI Fund—as part of Grayscale’s quarterly review cycle.

The Decentralized AI Fund pared NEAR to about 31% and allocated 29% to TAO, 22% to RENDER, and 18% to FIL, shifting toward AI-focused projects with solid fundamentals.

Grayscale completed a three-fund quarterly rebalance, boosting Binance Coin (BNB) to the top spot in the Smart Contract Fund with about a 30.6% weight, while Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) slipped to just under 30% each.

In the DeFi Fund, Uniswap (UNI) remains the largest holding at roughly 34%, followed by Ondo Finance (ONDO) at 25.44%, Aave (AAVE) at 19.97%, Ethena (ENA) at 12.19%, Curve DAO (CRV) at 4.42%, and Lido DAO (LDO) at 3.82%, signaling a refreshed portfolio aligned with market conditions.

Overall, the quarterly adjustments reflect Grayscale’s dynamic asset-management approach, aiming for diversified exposure across DeFi, smart contracts, and AI-oriented blockchains.

The fund moves are meant to keep portfolios aligned with market conditions and investor demand, signaling institutional confidence and adaptability in the crypto landscape.

The report frames the moves as a signal that institutional investors increasingly view the Binance ecosystem as competitive with Ethereum and Solana.

The rebalance suggests a broader trend of allocating to Layer-1 ecosystems perceived as strongest, beyond Ethereum and Solana.

Investors should view the changes as Grayscale diversifying exposure across major smart-contract platforms (BNB, ETH, SOL) and elevating newer yield-focused DeFi assets (ONDO, ENA) and AI-centric projects within its funds.

Industry experts describe the rebalancing as responsive to shifts in market cap, liquidity, and project developments, signaling institutional interest in specific assets.

The shift was funded by selling existing holdings to buy BNB, with Cardano (ADA) being notably reduced.
