New SEC rules open the door for altcoin ETFs: Franklin moves first
Franklin Templeton is venturing further into the cryptocurrency space with the expansion of its Franklin Crypto Index ETF to include additional digital assets. With recent regulatory changes, the ETF now counts altcoins such as XRP, Solana, and Dogecoin among its holdings. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved a new rule by the Cboe exchange that permits crypto ETFs to hold a wider range of tokens, provided these tokens are part of the ETF's benchmark index.
