🔶 Nasdaq ETF Updates: New Listings and Regulatory Shifts
**New ETF Launch:** On June 6, 2025, Nasdaq listed the **Defiance Daily Target 2x Short PLTR ETF (PLTZ)**, designed to deliver twice the inverse daily performance of Palantir Technologies (PLTR). Market makers like GTS Securities now support trading, with real-time data disseminated via Nasdaq platforms .
**Regulatory Developments:** Nasdaq is advancing efforts to list **commodity- and crypto-based ETFs**, including the proposed **Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF**. This fund would hold Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum ($ETH ), Solana (SOL), and other digital assets, pending SEC approval under new Rule 5712. The rule requires at least 90% of fund holdings to be commodities/digital assets with traceable market data .
**Structural Innovations:** Nasdaq is guiding asset managers on **ETF share-class structures**, aiming to streamline operations and expand distribution flexibility. Over a dozen firms are seeking SEC approval for these models, with launches anticipated by late 2025 .
**Market Context:** These updates align with growing investor access to niche strategies, from leveraged inverse ETFs to digital assets, though regulatory scrutiny remains high for novel products.
