Franklin Templeton, one of the crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF) issuers, has expressed interest in releasing the crypto index ETF, but the authorities are now delaying it. 
The Securities and Exchange Commission (<a rel="" href="https://crypto.news/tag/sec/">SEC</a>) detained the deadline for approving the crypto index ETF by Franklin Templeton. According to the <a href="https://www.sec.gov/files/rules/sro/cboebzx/2024/34-101663.pdf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">filing</a> on Nov. 20, the authorities raised their concern about the sufficient time they needed to decide whether it would be accepted or declined. 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> 
 “The Commission may designate if it finds such longer period to be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or as to which the self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission shall either approve the proposed rule change, disapprove the proposed rule change, or institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule change should be disapproved,” SEC fillings. 
</blockquote> 
On August. 17, based on their <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2033807/000113743924001282/fcts1082024.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">filing</a>, Franklin proposed the crypto index ETF by holding Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) with the ticker EZPZ. The proposed fund would allow the two most prominent crypto in the world under the same index with an unspecified ratio weighted by market capitalization. 
If approved by the authorities, EZPZ would use the Coinbase custody and be listed on the Cboe BZX exchange. Franklin may add another crypto into the index but should gain approval from the SEC.
