Asset manager IDX is back in the spotlight — shortly after U.S. authorities approved crypto-backed mortgages, the firm filed an application for a new ETF combining bitcoin and gold.

The proposed IDX Alternative FIAT ETF aims to offer investors synthetic exposure to two traditionally strong stores of value — digital bitcoin and physical gold. In today’s uncertain global economy, where both assets have delivered impressive returns in 2025, the move represents a strategic step toward diversification and market volatility protection.

ETF Offering Dynamic Allocation Between BTC and Gold

According to the filing, IDX’s ETF will use an active risk-balanced allocation strategy between gold and bitcoin. The asset mix will shift based on metrics such as volatility and momentum, aiming to maintain a well-balanced exposure in changing market conditions.

Instead of direct holdings in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana, the fund focuses on derivative instruments — such as futures, options, swaps, and exchange-traded products (ETPs) — to provide direct or synthetic exposure to both digital and commodity-based assets.

SEC filings confirm that the ETF will allocate most of its portfolio to bitcoin and gold, while up to 40% may be invested in complementary assets like:

🔹 Ether

🔹 Silver

🔹 Gold mining stocks

🔹 Blockchain infrastructure companies

These are collectively referred to as "reference assets."

Leveraged Exposure and Focus on BTC and Gold

IDX states that, under normal market conditions, the fund will target 1.25x leveraged exposure, with at least 80% of net assets tied to financial instruments linked to bitcoin and gold.

This move comes as interest surges in fixed-income instruments backed by crypto, a trend highlighted in analysis from Michael Saylor, founder of MicroStrategy.

Bitcoin ETF Inflows Surge: $500 Million in One Day

Investor demand for bitcoin ETFs is booming. On Wednesday alone, another $500 million flowed into spot bitcoin ETFs. This marks the 12th consecutive day of net inflows, totaling nearly $4 billion in new capital over that period.

Since the launch of spot bitcoin ETFs in January 2024, the sector has attracted close to $50 billion in total capital — making it one of the fastest-growing investment products in recent history.

U.S. Officially Approves Crypto as Part of Mortgage Reserves

Another major breakthrough came this week — the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) announced that cryptocurrencies like bitcoin can now be officially counted as part of borrowers’ mortgage reserves.

Under the new policy, crypto assets held on U.S.-regulated centralized exchanges can be included in borrowers' financial capacity assessments without the need to convert them to USD. This represents a major shift, as digital assets were previously excluded from mortgage risk evaluations.

The FHFA aims to broaden the range of eligible assets in mortgage underwriting — acknowledging the growing role of digital finance. Industry leaders like Michael Saylor hailed this decision as a historic moment for crypto adoption in traditional finance.
