Nasdaq Crypto Index Expands, SEC Review Impacting Hashdex ETF

The Nasdaq Crypto Index has grown from five to nine digital assets, adding Ripple (XRP), Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), and Stellar Lumens (XLM). However, the expanded index faces a roadblock: the SEC’s review of Hashdex’s ETF request for alignment with the new portfolio. If approved, the Hashdex NCIQ ETF will be allowed to hold these additional assets, but currently, its limited rules restrict it to investing solely in Bitcoin and Ethereum.
