SEC Approval Lets Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index ETF Add Altcoins Like XRP, XLM, and Solana

  • The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has finally approved the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF. 
  • This comes after the Commission recently approved Income Blast ETFs for multiple assets. 

In our recent update, we reported that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved Grayscale’s Digital Large Cap Fund (GDLC) to trade on the stock exchange. Today, another ETF approval has been announced, but this time, it is the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF.

The report said this Fund would operate under the new generic listing standard. Apart from Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), this approval implies that the Fund could hold the likes of XRP, Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), Chainlink (LINK), and Stellar Lumen (XLM).

ETF

SEC, in its official document stated that the structure of the ETF was updated to meet the new criteria. However, there was no addition of any new financial document or change to its fiscal year.

How it Started

It can be recalled that last year, the SEC gave the green light for Franklin Templeton and Hashdex to launch Bitcoin and Ethereum index ETFs in the US. While Hashdex’s Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF was reported to trade on the Nasdaq stock market, Franklin Templeton Crypto Index ETF got the approval to trade on the Cboe BZX Exchange.

In March this year, Hashdex requested an amendment in a bid to include other tokens in the ETF. As stated earlier, this filing was made under the new generic listing standards to expedite the approval process. Today, XRP represents 7.11% of the Fund’s portfolio. According to reports, over 3.5 million shares related to XRP have been listed in the Fund. Apart from XRP, SOL makes up 4.19% of the Fund while XLM makes up 0.34%.

It is also expected that more ETFs will be approved in the future as the SEC votes to update its listing standards. Based on the new rule, ETF products would avoid the case-by-case review process. This implies that decisions could be made within 75 days, unlike the previous rule, where decision-making was taking up to 270 days.

More ETF Applications Expected

Several stakeholders have also applauded this new rule with Bitwise CEO Teddy Fusaro disclosing how they anticipated this to be implemented. According to the founder of Canary Capital Group Steven McClurg, many companies could line up to file with the SEC in the coming months.

Meanwhile, DGIM Law’s Jonathan Groth believes that this wave of applications could be witnessed in the fourth quarter of the year (Q4 2025). In October, the SEC is expected to make decisions on multiple spot ETF applications, as noted in our earlier post. According to our recent update, XRP and Dogecoin ETFs have already been approved under the 1940 Act.

Amidst the backdrop of this, Tuttle Capital has also filed for Bonk Income Blast ETF, Litecoin Income Blast ETF, and Sui Income Blast ETF with the SEC, following the rising demand as highlighted in our recent discussion.

Vitalik Buterin Reveals Ethereum’s Bold Plan to Stay Quantum-Secure and Simple!

Buterin unveils Ethereum’s strategy to tackle quantum security challenges ahead. Ethereum focuses on simplifying architecture while boosting security for users. Ethereum’s market stability grows as Buterin’s roadmap gains investor confidence. Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin has unveiled his long-term vision for the blockchain, focusing on making Ethereum quantum-secure while maintaining its simplicity for users. Buterin presented his roadmap at the Japanese Developer Conference, and splits the future of Ethereum into three phases: short-term, mid-term, and long-term. Buterin’s most ambitious goal for Ethereum is to safeguard the blockchain against the threats posed by quantum computing.  The danger of such future developments is that the future may call into question the cryptographic security of most blockchain systems, and Ethereum will be able to remain ahead thanks to more sophisticated mathematical techniques to ensure the safety and integrity of its protocols. Buterin is committed to ensuring that Ethereum evolves in a way that not only meets today’s security challenges but also prepares for the unknowns of tomorrow.

An important aspect of this vision is to remove unnecessary complexity and make Ethereum more accessible and maintainable without losing its strong security capabilities. Security and simplicity form the core of Buterin’s strategy, as they guarantee that the users of Ethereum experience both security and smooth processes. Focus on Speed and Efficiency in the Short-Term In the short term, Buterin aims to enhance Ethereum’s transaction efficiency, a crucial step toward improving scalability and reducing transaction costs. These advantages are attributed to the fact that, within the mid-term, Ethereum is planning to enhance the speed of transactions in layer-2 networks. According to Butterin, this is part of Ethereum’s expansion, particularly because there is still more need to use blockchain technology to date. The other important aspect of Ethereum’s development is the layer-2 solutions. Buterin supports an approach in which the layer-2 networks are dependent on layer-1 to perform some essential tasks like data security, proof, and censorship resistance. This will enable the layer-2 systems of Ethereum to be concerned with verifying and sequencing transactions, which will improve the overall speed and efficiency of the network. Ethereum’s Market Stability Reflects Confidence in Long-Term Strategy Ethereum’s market performance has remained solid, with the cryptocurrency holding steady above $4,000. Currently priced at $4,492.15, Ethereum has experienced a slight 0.93% increase over the last 24 hours, while its trading volume surged by 8.72%, reaching $34.14 billion. These figures point to growing investor confidence in Ethereum’s long-term vision. The crypto community remains optimistic about Ethereum’s future, with many predicting the price could rise to $5,500 by mid-October. Buterin’s clear, forward-thinking strategy continues to build trust in Ethereum as one of the most secure and scalable blockchain platforms in the market.
