Hashdex's S-1 filing for a combined Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF signals a strategic push to broaden its presence in the cryptocurrency ETF market, seeking SEC approval.

Significant Step in ETF Ambition

The S-1 document for Hashdex's combined spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF products has been submitted by the asset management firm. This comes weeks after the firm initially filed its official paperwork for the fund, making it a significant step in its ambition, Coingape shares.

There will be a combined spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF that will hold both assets on an adjusted basis to provide a balanced portfolio, according to the asset management.

At this time, only Bitcoin and Ethereum will be included in the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF. With the SEC's blessing, it might list additional assets down the road.

Ethereum ETF Withdrawal

It should be noted that the asset manager withdrew its spot Ethereum ETF filing a few weeks before filing the 19b-4 application for the combined spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF. According to the application, Hashdex will be in charge of the proposed ETF's management and operations. Nevertheless, the administration of the fund will be handled by Tidal ETF Services LLC.

The filing for the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF was acknowledged by the Securities Commission barely two weeks later. Public feedback on the proposed rule change was sought after, the SEC said, by releasing the notice. The S-1 submission from Hashdex is anticipated, as are all other cryptocurrency ETF applications that the US has recently witnessed.

Headway with the SEC

The asset management appears to be making headway with the Commission based on this.

Less than 48 hours have passed since the spot Ethereum ETF began trading, and this S-1 filing is the result. As a whole, crypto ETFs have had a good year, and Hashdex has been one of the most successful. It is hoping to leverage its experience listing spot Bitcoin ETFs in January, which it achieved as one of the firms, to its advantage with this latest offering.

The cryptocurrency community is looking forward to the approval of further crypto ETFs, such as XRP and Solana.
