This approval marks a significant step forward for the crypto world.
As expected, both ETFs will initially hold Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH).
New Bitcoin and Ether ETFs Provide Easy Crypto Access
This spot Bitcoin/Ether combo ETF will launch likely in January. This will offer investors a fresh way to gain exposure to these leading digital assets. The approval is a big deal because it allows investors to buy into the top two cryptocurrencies directly through traditional markets.
Both ETFs will be market-cap-weighted. With approximately 80% allocated to BTC and 20% to ETH. This aligns with the relative size of these two digital assets in the crypto market. Here, Bitcoin remains the dominant player, but Ether continues to show its strength.
The spot bitcoin/ether combo ETFs have been approved by SEC (as predicted). Launch likely in January. They’re mkt cap weight so 80/20 btc/eth approx. Notable that Hashdex & Frankie are first. Good for them. https://t.co/o2ri3XpqZi

The sudden shift came after the Federal Reserve indicated there could be fewer interest rate cuts in 2025 than initially projected, causing some investors to pull back. The move highlights how sensitive Bitcoin ETFs are to changes in economic signals and investor sentiment.
