Crypto Index ETFs to Dominate as SEC Shifts Single-Asset Model in 2026
The proliferation of US spot crypto ETFs, which have attracted over $70 billion in net inflows since January 2024, is changing the investment landscape. With the SEC potentially approving over 100 additional crypto ETFs, wealth managers face the challenge of selecting from numerous single-asset products. Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan suggests this complexity will drive investors towards crypto index ETPs, which package baskets of tokens. Grayscale launched the Grayscale CoinDesk Crypto 5 ETF, marking the first multi-asset crypto fund in the US. Other issuers like Bitwise, 21Shares, Hashdex, and Franklin Templeton have followed suit. Experts like Roxanna Islam from VettaFi and Nate Geraci from Nova Dius Wealth anticipate growing demand for these diversified solutions.
