Franklin Crypto Index ETF Adds XRP, Solana and Dogecoin to Expand Exposure
Franklin Crypto Index ETF is expanding its basket to include XRP, Solana and Dogecoin, joining existing Bitcoin and Ethereum positions. The update aims to give investors broader exposure across smart-contract platforms, cross-border payment tokens and high-liquidity retail assets, widening the fund’s coverage beyond the two largest market caps.
The move could make the ETF more attractive to investors seeking diversified crypto allocation by adding SOL’s DeFi/NFT ecosystem, XRP’s payments focus and DOGE’s strong retail engagement. At the same time, the additions bring higher volatility and tracking complexity, so investors should weigh increased diversification against potential risk and liquidity dynamics. Franklin’s change reflects ongoing product evolution as asset managers expand crypto offerings to meet growing demand.
