Hashdex and Nasdaq have launched the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF (NCIQ), providing U.S. investors with regulated access to Bitcoin and Ethereum through a single ETF.
Hashdex and Nasdaq Global Indexes have introduced the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF (NCIQ), allowing U.S. investors to gain exposure to both Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) through a single exchange-traded fund (ETF).
First U.S. Multi-Asset (Hashdex and Nasdaq) Crypto ETF
The ETF, trading under the ticker NCIQ on Nasdaq, tracks the Nasdaq Crypto US Index (NCIUS). This index currently includes only Bitcoin and Ethereum, selected based on liquidity, market capitalization, and regulatory compliance. The ETF’s management fee is set at 0.25% through 2025, increasing to 0.50% afterward.
Institutional-Grade Crypto Investment
NCIQ is the first U.S.-listed multi-asset crypto ETF, providing investors with exposure to spot holdings of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Hashdex, which already manages some of the largest crypto ETFs in Europe and Latin America, aims to simplify crypto investing for U.S. investors.
“Now, with the launch of NCIQ, we are proud to deliver a familiar and readily tradable U.S.-based product that provides seamless exposure to Bitcoin and Ether,” said Marcelo Sampaio, CEO of Hashdex.
Security and Oversight
The ETF’s assets are held by Coinbase Custody and BitGo Trust, while U.S. Bank Global Fund Services manages administration. Nasdaq handles index calculation and listing. The fund’s launch comes amid rising U.S. demand for regulated crypto investment products, with total assets in the sector now surpassing $120 billion.
Nasdaq Global Indexes and Hashdex share a mission of advancing crypto asset indexes and financial vehicles to meet the ever-growing demand from investors looking for access to the rapidly evolving crypto sector, said Cameron Lilja, Vice President of Nasdaq Global Indexes.
Expanding Crypto Market Access
Hashdex’s global crypto products now exceed $1.3 billion in assets under management, reinforcing its position as a leader in regulated crypto investment solutions.
Investors looking for diversified Bitcoin and Ethereum exposure can now trade NCIQ directly on Nasdaq.
