Overview
- The asset manager submitted SEC filings on September 26 for three funds that pair 75% S&P 500 exposure with 25% allocated to XRP, Ethereum or Solana through futures and potential direct holdings.
- Proposed tickers are XXX for the XRP fund, EEE for the Ethereum fund and SSS for the Solana fund, with a 0.95% annual management fee, no shareholder transaction fees and monthly rebalancing.
- The crypto sleeve would use CME-traded futures and may include direct purchases or exchange-traded products, with futures held via a Cayman subsidiary and collateralized by short-term U.S. Treasuries.
- If approved, shares would list on Nasdaq and trade only in the secondary market, offering retail access similar to other listed ETFs.
- Coverage notes a friendlier policy backdrop from the SEC’s Generic ETF Listing Standard, Blockonomi reports approval would create the first regulated ETF with XRP, and Cyber Hornet points to a 2024 Bitcoin 75/25 fund as its model.
