<p>The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved NYSE Arca to list the Bitwise 10 Crypto Index ETF, a regulated product tracking the ten largest digital assets in the market.</p>
<p>The decision marks another step in the SEC’s gradual expansion of approved crypto investment vehicles, following the increased interest created by this month’s XRP ETF launch.</p>

<p>The Bitwise 10 Crypto Index ETF would hold a diversified portfolio that mirrors the Bitwise 10 Index. According to the SEC <a href="https://www.sec.gov/files/rules/sro/nysearca/2025/34-104212.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">filing</a>, the fund must keep at least 85% of its portfolio in assets already approved for exchange-traded products, with the remainder capped at 15%.</p>
<p>As of June 30, the portfolio weights would have included:</p>
<ul>
 <li>78.7% Bitcoin (BTC)</li>
 <li>11.1% Ethereum (ETH)</li>
 <li>4.97% XRP (XRP)</li>
 <li>3.03% Solana (SOL)</li>
 <li>Smaller allocations to ADA, SUI, LINK, AVAX, LTC, and DOT.</li>
</ul>
<p>Daily NAV will be calculated using CF Benchmarks reference pricing at 4 p.m. ET. Shares will be created and redeemed in large blocks for cash.</p>
<p>The approval makes Bitwise’s fund one of the most comprehensive crypto index products on a U.S. exchange, offering SEC-regulated exposure across major assets, including XRP.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="xrp-etf-hype-sets-the-stage">XRP ETF hype sets the stage</h2>
<p>The SEC’s approval follows a widely watched ETF debut earlier this month. On November 14, Canary Capital’s XRP ETF (XRPC) recorded <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2025/11/15/xrp-etf-outshines-2025-launches-with-250m-first-day-inflows/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$250 million in first-day</a> inflows, the strongest debut among over 900 ETFs launched in 2025.</p>
<p>The fund’s in-kind creation process, letting issuers transfer XRP directly instead of cash, helped inflows exceed trading volume. Analysts say the structure unlocked pent-up institutional demand after Ripple’s regulatory wins earlier this year.</p>
<p>“XRP has one of the strongest retail communities in crypto,” said Min Jung of Presto. NOBI CEO Lawrence Samantha noted that continued inflows would signal long-term institutional positioning.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="what-comes-next">What comes next</h2>
<p>With NYSE Arca cleared to list the Bitwise 10 ETF, investors are now weighing how index-style crypto products will compete with single-asset ETFs like Bitcoin, Ether, and XRP. The approval signals the SEC’s gradual shift toward broader, regulated crypto exposure with clear pricing and oversight.</p>
<p>As XRP ETF inflows surge and Bitwise readies its index product, analysts expect more diversified funds to follow. Whether momentum lasts into 2026 or single-asset ETFs dominate, one thing is clear: regulated crypto index investing has officially arrived on the NYSE.</p>
