Spot crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have attracted significant inflows of capital since the first ones were approved at the start of 2024. They offer a regulated and accessible way for institutional and retail investors to add crypto to their portfolios, but they’ve mostly only included Bitcoin(CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum(CRYPTO: ETH).

September 19 saw the launch of the Grayscale CoinDesk Crypto 5 ETF(NYSEMKT: GDLC), the first-ever multi-crypto ETF, containing five of the biggest cryptos by market cap.

It was closely followed by a similar multi-crypto ETF from Hashdex, and we will see more crypto basket ETFs in the coming months.
