Franklin Templeton has launched the EZPZ ETF, a new financial product that gives investors access to both Bitcoin and Ethereum in one portfolio. The ETF, which was listed on the Cboe BZX exchange on February 22, 2025, promises to be a simple, low-cost way to access the cryptocurrency market.
EZPZ – A Combination of Bitcoin and Ethereum
ETF #EZPZ tracks CF Benchmark’s Institutional Digital Asset Index, which allocates weight between the two largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization:
✅ 82% exposure to Bitcoin price
✅ 18% on Ethereum price
This means that if you invest $100 in EZPZ, $82 will be affected by the price of BTC, while $18 will be affected by the price of ETH. This helps investors diversify their portfolio without having to buy individual coins.
Attractive Cost – Competitive Advantage
#FranklinTempleton charges a management fee of just 0.19%, which is much lower than many other crypto ETFs. This makes EZPZ a low-cost approach that still offers potential returns from digital assets.
According to Roger Bayston, Director of Digital Assets at Franklin Templeton:
“Blockchain is becoming a critical foundation for the current and future data economy. With EZPZ, we provide a simple, low-cost way to access this space.”
Where Is Franklin Templeton In The Crypto ETF Race?
Although Franklin Templeton is one of the largest investment funds in the world, their crypto ETF has yet to gain the traction of BlackRock or Grayscale.
📌 Franklin Bitcoin ETF (EZBC): Currently has $708 million in assets under management, ranking 9th out of 11 Bitcoin ETFs traded in the US.
📌 Franklin Ethereum ETF (EZET): Currently managing $34 million, ranked 7th among Ethereum ETFs.
Franklin Templeton has remained active in the digital asset space, however, launching its tokenized fund FOBXX on Polygon and Stellar in 2021.
Crypto Is Becoming More Popular
Although not yet a leading ETF, the launch of EZPZ shows Franklin Templeton's strong belief in crypto. More and more large financial institutions are entering the market, bringing digital assets closer to traditional finance. #anhbacong
