8 月 16 日，富兰克林邓普顿申请推出“富兰克林加密货币指数 ETF”，旨在为投资者提供多种加密货币的多元化投资。该指数最初将关注比特币和以太坊，并计划在未来纳入更多资产。

The Crypto Index Fund will be structured as a weighted offering, with allocations based on the market capitalization of the underlying assets, according to the filing. The index will use pricing data from the CME CF Bitcoin and Ethereum reference rates to calculate its value.

文件称，加密货币指数基金将采用加权发行的形式，并根据基础资产的市值进行分配。该指数将使用 CME CF 比特币和以太坊参考汇率的定价数据来计算其价值。

If approved by the SEC, the fund could draw investors away from single-asset ETFs, potentially positioning Franklin Templeton as a major player in the market.
