#NasdaqETFUpdate Here you have an update of more than 100 words on the hashtag #NasdaqETFUpdate, with the latest developments in Nasdaq-related ETFs:

First of all, Nasdaq has expanded its cryptocurrency benchmark index to include XRP, Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), and Stellar (XLM). These assets were incorporated through a filing with the SEC (Form 8-K), although they are not yet in custody-holding ETF portfolios — it is expected that they may later be added to cryptocurrency ETFs based on this index.

On the other hand, Ethereum ETFs continue to register net inflows for the seventh consecutive week, with approximately $296 million in accumulated investment flows, indicating renewed interest, both institutional and retail, in this digital asset.

In the equity universe, the Invesco NASDAQ-100 ETF (QQQM) continues to gain attention. It is designed to offer low-cost exposure to the “large cap” growth segment of the Nasdaq-100. Some analysts recommend it as an efficient option for passive investment strategies.

Additionally, Edward Baer, an attorney specializing in asset management, explained in a Nasdaq Q&A session that several managers are requesting SEC approval for “share classes” structures in ETFs, an innovation expected to launch during 2025. This would allow for greater flexibility in operational costs and dividend distribution.

Furthermore, the recent rebound of the Nasdaq-100 (and the S&P 500) has been supported by the prospect of advancements in trade negotiations between the U.S. and China regarding semiconductors. The Nasdaq index is now close to the all-time highs marked in February, driven by a 0.4% increase in the most recent session.

In summary, #NasdaqETFUpdate combines cryptocurrency innovations, strong flows into cryptos/ethereum, passive models in U.S. equities, and regulatory evolutions.
