Oh, the times! They are ever a-changin’. Hashdex, a most enterprising巴西ian establishment, has taken it upon itself to beseech the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for an expansion of its cryptocurrency index ETF. With the addition of two such curious coins as XRP and Cardano (ADA), it seems the market’s appetite for varied crypto delicacies knows no bounds.

These ETFs, one must understand, do not admit just any cryptocurrency into their hallowed ranks. No, indeed! The coins must be found upon the esteemed platforms of Bitstamp, Coinbase, and Gemini, and must possess independent pricing—a most noble attribute, to be sure. Such rigour ensures that one’s investments do not turn into a most regrettable soup.

In a turn of events most fortuitous, the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) granted Hashdex leave in February of 2024 to create the world’s first XRP spot exchange-traded fund (ETF). A feather in Hashdex’s cap, to be sure!

Hashdex, in its wisdom, deems security and reputation as crucial as the air we breathe. Economic fundamentals and innovative use cases are the order of the day, for without them, a cryptocurrency may find itself quite out of favour. And, pray, do not even mention meme cryptocurrencies; they are quite beneath Hashdex’s notice!

The Nasdaq Crypto Index Fund (NCIQ), managed by Hashdex, currently boasts assets worth $66 million—a sum not to be sneezed at! Yet, the fund evaluation team harbours ambitions for expansion, with XRP, Solana, Cardano, Chainlink, Uniswap, Litecoin, and Avalanche all vying for a place in the portfolio. One can only imagine the commotion such an expansion might cause amongst the institutional investors!

In a world where the regulatory winds are ever shifting, Hashdex joins the throng of eager asset managers seeking to curry favour with the powers that be. President Trump’s crypto policies have, it seems, set hearts aflutter with optimism.

If the expanded Hashdex ETF should gain the nod of approval, it promises new opportunities and a touch of credibility to the crypto market. All eyes are upon the regulators, as the world watches with bated breath.
