Samir Kerbage, CIO of Hashdex, notes that the cryptocurrency market is about more than bitcoin. This is why the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF (NCIQ) holds both Bitcoin and Ethereum in a single exchange-traded product. Recently, the fund held approximately 81% of assets in Bitcoin and 19% in Ethereum, noting Bitcoin’s much larger market capitalization.
The fund is designed to track the Nasdaq Crypto US Settlement Price Index, which added new assets to the index in June 2025. If and when SEC regulations change and the fund updates its listing rules, the fund may allocate approximately 12% of its total weight to other altcoins, including XRP, Solana, Cardano, and Stellar.
