#NasdaqETFUpdate

Nasdaq recently filed a Form 8‑K on June 2 and a follow‑up to the SEC on June 7 proposing to broaden its crypto‑index benchmark for the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF (ticker NCIQ). Currently capped to hold only Bitcoin and Ethereum due to U.S. regulations, the ETF tracks a limited index. The proposed change would shift from the Nasdaq Crypto US Settlement Price Index (NCIUS) to the more inclusive Nasdaq Crypto Index (NCI), expanding from 5 to 9 cryptos—including XRP, Solana, Cardano, and Stellar. If approved by November 2, 2025, the ETF could hold all index components, reducing tracking error and improving diversification across altcoins
