Franklin Templeton’s Franklin Crypto Index ETF (Cboe: EZPZ) has expanded its holdings to include a wider range of digital assets, following the latest reconstitution of the CF Institutional Digital Asset Index – US-Settlement Price.
In addition to its existing positions in Bitcoin and Ether, EZPZ now incorporates XRP, Solana, Dogecoin, Cardano, Stellar Lumens, and Chainlink. This expansion aims to provide investors with broader exposure to the digital asset market through an ETF structure.
David Mann, Head of ETF Product and Capital Markets at Franklin Templeton, stated, “Our goal with EZPZ has always been to give investors easy access to a diversified field of digital assets through the ETF structure. With the index now broadened, the fund reflects a larger portion of the digital asset market while maintaining the operational efficiency and clarity investors expect from our ETF business.”
EZPZ is designed to track a free float-adjusted, market capitalization weighted index. Each digital asset is held in approximate proportion to its representation within the index, enhancing the ETF’s ability to offer broad, market-level representation across both established and emerging blockchain networks.
Roger Bayston, Head of Digital Assets at Franklin Templeton, commented, “Investors are looking beyond the first generation of digital assets for exposure to networks demonstrating real-world adoption at scale, strong community, or functional utility across payments, smart contracts, or data connectivity. With the index now capturing this broader set of use cases, EZPZ offers a regulated ETF structure that evolves alongside the digital asset ecosystem.”
Franklin Resources, Inc., operating as Franklin Templeton, is a global investment management organization with $1.69 trillion in assets under management as of October 31, 2025. The California-based company serves clients in over 150 countries, with a mission to help clients achieve investment outcomes through expertise, wealth management, and technology solutions.
It is important to note that the EZPZ ETF is an exchange-traded product that invests in digital assets, rather than a direct investment in Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana, Dogecoin, Cardano, Stellar Lumens, or Chainlink. The fund is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or the Commodity Exchange Act, and therefore is not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds or ETFs registered under those acts. Investments in the fund are subject to market risks associated with the digital asset markets, which can be highly volatile and unpredictable. Factors such as regulatory uncertainty, security vulnerabilities, or network events like temporary or permanent “forks” in digital asset blockchains can adversely affect the value of shares. The fund is a passive investment vehicle and does not actively manage its portfolio or employ hedging techniques. The amount of digital assets represented by each share will decrease over time due to sales necessary to cover fees and expenses, requiring increases in digital asset prices to maintain investment value. The fund will not stake the digital assets it holds.
