Expanding Crypto Frontiers: Nasdaq Plans to Include XRP and Solana in New Index
The Nasdaq exchange has submitted a proposal to the SEC for expanding its crypto benchmark, introducing four new assets: XRP, SOL, ADA, and XLM.
This expansion reflects a growing recognition of diverse cryptocurrencies beyond just Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Currently, the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF is limited to tracking only Bitcoin and Ethereum due to regulatory constraints.
If approved, this move could allow investors to diversify their portfolios by tracking a broader range of digital assets.
The SEC’s decision on this proposal is anticipated by November 2, 2025, which could influence the future of crypto ETFs significantly.
In the market, reactions to this news have been relatively calm, with XRP and SOL experiencing only minor price fluctuations.
This initiative indicates a shift in Wall Street's approach to cryptocurrency investments, aiming for more inclusive options.
Many investors are curious whether this will foster increased institutional interest in a wider array of digital currencies.
While Bitcoin remains a dominant force, Nasdaq's endeavor may signal a pivotal moment for the crypto landscape.
Ultimately, this proposed expansion could open new pathways for growth and diversification within the cryptocurrency sector.
