Grayscale Investments has disclosed the new component weightings for its multi-asset funds as part of the Q1 2026 rebalancing.
The asset manager has removed Aerodrome Finance (AERO) entirely from its Decentralized Finance (DeFi) Fund and added Ethena (ENA) at a 13.59% weight.
Grayscale Drops AERO From DeFi Fund, Adds ENA in Q1 Rebalance
According to the press release, Grayscale funded the ENA purchase by selling AERO and other existing components proportionally.
AERO held a 5.36% weight before its full removal, ending its position in Grayscale’s flagship DeFi product. The altcoin was added during the Q3 2025 rebalancing and replaced MakerDAO (MKR).
“The compositions of DEFG Fund and GSC Fund are evaluated on a quarterly basis to remove existing Fund Components or to include new Fund Components, in accordance with the index methodologies established by the Index Provider. Holdings and weightings of each Fund are subject to change. Investors cannot directly invest in an index,” the asset manager stated.
