1. Launch of Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF

- Nasdaq has applied for a new rule (Rule 5712) allowing the listing and trading of funds investing in digital and commodity assets, including the Hashdex fund, which tracks an index of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.

- The fund aims to provide indirect exposure to digital currencies while reducing the risks of direct holding, making it an attractive option for institutional investors.

- Nasdaq has announced plans to list the 21Shares SUI ETF, which tracks the performance of the SUI digital currency through a mechanism based on daily pricing.

- The fund is managed under the "Commodity-Based Trust Shares" model, with strict controls for liquidity and transparency.

3. Leveraged ETFs

- GraniteShares has launched two new funds offering a daily (2x) multiple of MicroStrategy (MSTR) shares, one long and one short, targeting professional traders.

- These funds are suitable for short-term tactical trading but involve high risks due to the effect of doubling and daily rebalancing.

- The Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETF (QQQM) achieves annual returns of up to 15.83%, with a strong focus on the technology sector (51.5% of its portfolio).
