Grayscale integrates AMP into DeFi Fund
The company made a quarterly adjustment of sorts, which led to its decision to remove Bancor (BNT) and Universal Market Access (UMA).
At the same time, it added AMP, the native token of the Flexa Network project. Flexa is a digital cryptocurrency payment network for physical and online shops. The AMP token is used to ensure fast and secure transactions in the case of cryptocurrency payments.
With this addition, Grayscale shows that it believes in the project, and in fact in the official דריקן מעלדונג it says that Flexa:
“is one of a number of projects intended to accelerate the development of the blockchain into a mature peer-to-peer money system”.
The composition of the fund
איצט די גרייַסקאַלע דעפי פאַנד is composed as follows:
- Uniswap (UNI), 42.33%.

- Curve (CRV), 10.63%.
- MakerDAO (MKR), 8.99%.
- אַמפּ (AMP), 7.39%
- Yearn Finance (YFI), 6.34%.
- Compound (COMP), 5.02%.

Grayscale plans to list the DeFi Index on a secondary market in the near future, but it is not known if and when this will happen. It will also depend on what the SEC, FINRA and other regulators might decide.
