Nasdaq Proposes Expanded Crypto ETF for Hashdex, Adding XRP & Solana

The American stock exchange Nasdaq has proposed a significant change to the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF (NCIQ), aiming to expand cryptocurrency exposure within regulated investment products. The proposal would shift the index’s benchmark from the current NCIUS to the broader Nasdaq Crypto Index (NCI). This move could significantly impact the crypto market, as it adds several prominent altcoins to a regulated financial product for the first time.
