Asia stocks surge as tech extends rebound, Dec rate cut bets grow
Franklin Crypto Index ETF (CBOE BZX:EZPZ) announced Monday that it will expand its portfolio to include additional digital assets, following changes to its underlying index and updated exchange rules. The announcement was made in a press release statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Effective December 1, 2025, the fund’s underlying index, the CF Institutional Digital Asset Index – US–Settlement Price, will add several new digital asset constituents. The updated index will include Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana, Dogecoin, Cardano, Stellar Lumens, and Chainlink.
As a result, the ETF will invest in these digital assets in approximately the same weights as represented in the underlying index. Previously, the fund was limited to holding only Bitcoin and Ether. The changes are being made in reliance on new rules adopted by Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. and approved by the SEC, which permit funds to hold a broader range of digital assets included in their underlying indexes.
The underlying index will continue to be subject to a quarterly rebalancing schedule, and its composition may change in accordance with the index provider’s rules and the generic listing standards.
In addition to the expanded holdings, the fund’s sponsor will now allow authorized participants to conduct in-kind creation and redemption transactions for creation units of the fund, alongside the existing cash creation and redemption process.
The fund is also filing a prospectus supplement to update and supplement information in its registration statement.
These changes are based on a press release statement included in a Form 8-K filing with the SEC.
