Item 8.01 Other Events.

On June 16, 2023, CoinDesk Indices, Inc. (the “Reference Rate Provider”) announced a change to the Constituent Exchanges used to calculate the Digital Asset Reference Rate for certain Fund Components of Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund LLC (the “Fund”).

The Fund values each Fund Component it holds for operational purposes by reference to a “Digital Asset Reference Rate.” The Digital Asset Reference Rate for each Fund Component at any time is the Indicative Price for such Fund Component as of 4:00 p.m., New York time, on the most recent business day. The “Indicative Price” is a volume-weighted average price in U.S. dollars of a digital asset for the immediately preceding 60-minute period derived from data collected from Digital Asset Exchanges trading such Fund Component (each, a “Constituent Exchange”) selected by the Reference Rate Provider.

Prior to the changes announced on June 16, 2023, the Constituent Exchanges used to calculate the Indicative Price for each respective Fund Component were as follows:

Bitcoin (“BTC”): Coinbase Pro, Binance.US, and LMAX Digital
Ethereum (“ETH”): Coinbase Pro, Binance.US, and Kraken
Cardano (“ADA”): Coinbase Pro, Binance.US, and Kraken
Solana (“SOL”): Coinbase Pro, Binance.US, and Kraken
Polygon (“MATIC”): Coinbase Pro, Binance.US, Kraken

Effective June 16, 2023, the Reference Rate Provider removed Binance.US as a Constituent Exchange used to calculate the Indicative Price for BTC, ETH, ADA, SOL and MATIC, due to Binance.US’s announcement that the exchange is suspending U.S. dollar (“USD”) deposits and withdrawals and plans to delist its USD trading pairs. As a result, the Reference Rate Provider added Kraken as a Constituent Exchange used to calculate the Indicative Price for BTC, LMAX Digital as a Constituent Exchange used to calculate the Indicative Price for both ETH and SOL, and Crypto.com as a Constituent Exchange used to calculate the Indicative Price for both ADA and MATIC. As of the date of this current report, the Constituent Exchanges used to calculate the Indicative Price for each respective Fund Component were as follows:

BTC: Coinbase Pro, Kraken, and LMAX Digital
ETH: Coinbase Pro, Kraken, and LMAX Digital
ADA: Coinbase Pro, Kraken, and Crypto.com
SOL: Coinbase Pro, Kraken, and LMAX Digital
MATIC: Coinbase Pro, Kraken, and Crypto.com

The Reference Rate Provider may change the trading venues that are used to calculate a Digital Asset Reference Rate, or otherwise change the way in which a Digital Asset Reference Rate is calculated, at any time. For example, the Reference Rate Provider has scheduled quarterly reviews, in which it may add or remove Constituent Exchanges that satisfy or fail the criteria described in “Item 1. Business—Overview of the Digital Asset Industry and Market—Fund Component Value—Digital Asset Reference Rates” in the Fund’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 1, 2022.
