Hashdex and Nasdaq Expand First U.S. Multi-Asset Spot Crypto ETF
Hashdex Asset Management Ltd., a global crypto asset manager, and Nasdaq Global Indexes announced the expansion of the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF (NCIQ), the first multi-asset spot crypto exchange-traded product in the U.S. Originally launched in February 2025 with exposure to spot Bitcoin and Ether, the ETF will now include XRP, Solana, and Stellar. Collectively, these five tokens represent more than $3 trillion in combined market capitalization.
The ETF tracks the Nasdaq Crypto US Index (NCIUS), co-developed by Nasdaq Global Indexes and Hashdex, which was designed to capture the performance of a meaningful share of the crypto market. Eligible assets for the index currently include BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, ADA, and XLM, although Cardano (ADA) is not included in the ETF’s present holdings.
“With NCIQ, investors gain access to a dynamic, rules-based exposure that evolves with the market—eliminating the need to try to pick individual winners,” said Samir Kerbage, CIO at Hashdex.
Hashdex manages about $1.56 billion in assets across its platform, including the largest multi-asset crypto ETF in Latin America and the largest multi-asset crypto ETP in Europe.
For the U.S. ETF, Hashdex serves as sponsor, Paralel Distributors LLC as marketing agent, and Coinbase Custody and BitGo Trust as asset custodians. Nasdaq serves as both index administrator and listing venue, while U.S. Bank Global Fund Services acts as the fund administrator.
