#NasdaqETFUpdate

Recent trends in Nasdaq ETFs reveal growing investor interest in actively managed strategies, with a notable share of fund inflows and new ETF launches targeting this segment. This shift reflects a broader appetite for dynamic allocation amid market volatility. In a significant development, Nasdaq has revised its crypto benchmark index to include altcoins such as XRP, Solana, Cardano, and Stellar—signaling recognition of broader blockchain adoption. However, regulatory constraints continue to limit ETF holdings to Bitcoin and Ethereum, delaying full index alignment. Despite this, the inclusion of these assets points to future potential once regulatory clarity improves. Meanwhile, performance across Nasdaq 100 ETFs has been mixed in 2025: some have delivered positive returns, benefiting from tech sector resilience, while others have underperformed due to shifting macroeconomic conditions. For seasoned investors, these dynamics highlight opportunities in both active ETF strategies and the evolving crypto-index landscape, particularly as regulatory doors begin to open for diversified crypto exposure.
