Nasdaq confirms inclusion of XRP, SOL, ADA, and XLM in benchmark index via SEC filing. The Nasdaq Crypto US Settlement Price Index (NCIUS) now includes these digital assets as part of the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF.

This move is a step toward broader crypto representation in institutional investment products. However, the ETF will still only hold Bitcoin and Ethereum due to existing listing restrictions. The update was disclosed in a Form 8-K filing, alerting investors to significant changes.

Nasdaq also filed a proposed rule change with the SEC to broaden the ETF’s benchmark to the Nasdaq Crypto Index™ (NCI), which would allow it to hold nine listed crypto assets, including LINK, LTC, and UNI. A decision on the proposal is expected by November 2, 2025.
