On August 17th, Franklin Templeton, an asset management company, is seeking to launch a new exchange-traded fund (ETF) that aims to be a one-stop-shop cryptocurrency investment portfolio, according to a document dated August 16th. The document states that the Franklin Crypto Index ETF will track the performance of the CF Benchmarks Digital Asset Index, which currently only includes Bitcoin and Ethereum. The document states that "the fund will achieve its investment objective by investing in digital assets with weights that are roughly similar to those of the underlying index," and that the ETF may hold other types of cryptocurrencies in the future.
