For the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund (OTCQX: GDLC), the company sold some of the existing components and used the cash proceeds to purchase solana (SOL) and uniswap (UNI). Grayscale said:
[This is] the first time solana (SOL) will be included in a Grayscale investment vehicle.
This was also the first time uniswap was added to the large-cap fund. However, the token has been in the Grayscale Defi Fund since the portfolio launched in July.

The addition of solana and uniswap followed the addition of cardano (ADA) to the large-cap fund, announced in July.
For the Grayscale Defi Fund, no new tokens were added or removed. At the end of the day on Oct. 1, the fund’s components were uniswap (UNI), 45.20%; aave (AAVE), 14.11%; makerdao (MKR), 7.84%; sushiswap (SUSHI), 7.18%; compound (COMP), 6.73%; synthetix (SNX), 6.29%; yearn finance (YFI), 3.92%; curve (CRV), 3.53%; bancor network token (BNT), 3.04%; and UMA Protocol (UMA), 2.16%.
