Franklin has filed for two exchange-traded funds that combine US equities with a Bitcoin allocation funded through dividends, according to the filings. The products are described as moving toward Nasdaq under a dividend reinvestment plan.
The filings pair US equity holdings with Bitcoin exposure, with dividends used to fund the Bitcoin allocation. This structure is presented as a different route to crypto exposure than existing products.
The two Franklin ETF filings are moving toward Nasdaq, with the dividend reinvestment plan central to how the Bitcoin allocation is funded.
