Franklin

Green Light

<p>As the cryptocurrency market wobbles under the effect of strong volatility, an encouraging new light shines on the horizon. The SEC, the American regulator often seen as unyielding, has approved the first ETFs combining Bitcoin and Ethereum. A strategic advancement that could well redefine institutional access to these digital assets.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/tag/securities-and-exchange-commission-sec/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SEC</a> (Securities and Exchange Commission), long perceived as the strict enforcer of digital assets, has just broken the ice. Two ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds) combining Bitcoin and Ethereum, developed by Hashdex and Franklin Templeton, have received its long-awaited approval.</p>

<p><a href="https://cryptobriefing.com/sec-approves-dual-bitcoin-ethereum-etf/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">This gesture</a> marks a major advancement for institutional investors, offering simplified access to the two largest giants of cryptocurrencies.</p>
<p>The Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF and the Franklin Templeton Crypto Index ETF now enrich the financial landscape. Franklin Templeton, with its legendary expertise in asset management, has overcome regulatory hurdles thanks to strict compliance. On its side, Hashdex, already a key player in the crypto universe, benefits from this approval to bolster its credibility.</p>
<p>This decision does not arise in a vacuum. The volatility of the crypto market recently reached new heights, with massive losses occurring within 24 hours.</p>
<p>Bitcoin slipped below $96,000, while Ethereum fell to $3,440. Yet, this announcement offers a glimmer of hope, reminding us that regulation and innovation can coexist.</p>
<h3 id="h-un-avenir-prometteur-ou-une-bataille-encore-a-venir">A promising future or a battle yet to come?</h3>
<p>The licenses granted to Hashdex and Franklin Templeton fit into a broader trend.</p>
<p>Bloomberg analysts had predicted these double approvals, solidifying the idea that Bitcoin-Ethereum ETFs represent a strategic step for the sector.</p>
<p>But this also opens the door for other players. Litecoin, often seen as a “light Bitcoin,” could be next on the list.</p>
<p>With its positioning as a commodity and its characteristics derived from Bitcoin, analysts see it as a serious candidate.</p>

<p>However, all is not yet won. Assets like Solana and XRP remain mired in areas of regulatory uncertainty.</p>
<p>The SEC, under the current leadership, is still hesitant to consider them as eligible products. But a change in direction could be on the horizon in 2025 if Paul Atkins, a proponent of more lenient regulation, were to take the reins.</p>
<p>For now, this approval is a strong signal: cryptocurrencies are no longer outcasts of the traditional financial system. They are evolving toward institutional legitimacy. And even though turbulence remains, the green light given to these ETFs shows that the crypto market is gaining ground, not only in portfolios but also in <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/donald-trump-wants-to-make-bitcoin-an-economic-weapon/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">the corridors of power</a>.</p>
