Templeton petitioned to establish the "FRANKLIN CRYPTO INDEX ETF" on August 16, a form of investment meant to hold both Bitcoin and Ethereum. This proposed dual spot ETF would be listed and traded on the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), with Coinbase, an American cryptocurrency exchange, acting as the trust's authorized custodian.
His CRYPTO INDEX ETF seeks to broaden its reach in the US crypto spot ETF market, following prior debuts of Bitcoin and Ethereum-based exchange products. While both investment funds have received considerable attention and stability, with a total inflow of $445 million, their market performance pales in contrast to those sponsored by prominent asset managers such as BlackRock and Fidelity.
As a result, an early entry into the Crypto Index ETF market might help the American investment business strengthen its present market position in this respect. However, as previously indicated, Franklin Templeton's desire to develop a dual cryptocurrency ETF behind that of Brazilian asset management Hashdex. Already, the SEC has postponed its judgment on Hashdex's proposal, claiming a need for more time to comprehend the complexities of the dual cryptocurrency ETF.
Franklin Templeton is also expected to release additional details about its newly proposed ETF in the coming weeks while the SEC considers a first response, which must be provided within 45 days. This information contains the Bitcoin and Ethereum payout percentages, as well as the fund's sponsor fees. Franklin Templeton is recognized for offering investors very modest costs, as seen by the 0.19% sponsor charge associated with both of its current crypto spot ETFs.
The SEC's historic approval of the Bitcoin Spot ETFs in January signaled a dramatic change in conventional finance's interest in cryptocurrencies. This interest is reflected in the current value of the Bitcoin ETF market at $17 billion, as well as the recent introduction of an Ethereum Spot ETF.
Along with the new dual crypto ETF, speculations about the eventual introduction of Solana and XRP ETFs are gathering traction, with some experts forecasting a debut as early as 2025. Notably, spot ETFs have significant potential to drive crypto demand and development in the next years by increasing acceptance by conventional financial institutions.
