Charles Hoskinson In Dismay With Grayscale’s Readjustments?
According to a report by CoinGape media the previous month, Charles Hoskinson already illustrated a sense of melancholy in Grayscale’s plans to exclude Cradano in its Dynamic Income Fund (GDIF), a fund zeroing in on tapping into the popular trend of crypto staking.
Meanwhile, Hoskinson also appears to be taking the abovementioned GDLC removal as a payback for the Cardano founder’s dismal remarks on Ethereum Classic. Grayscale has an Ethereum Classic fund called the Grayscale Ethereum Classic Trust (ETCG), whereas it gradually continues to remove ADA from its offerings.
