Grayscale Wins SEC Nod for First Spot ETF Tracking BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP and ADA

 

Grayscale has secured approval from U.S. regulators to convert its Digital Large Cap Fund into a spot exchange-traded fund (ETF).

The new ETF, tied to the CoinDesk 5 Index, will hold bitcoin, ether, XRP, solana and cardano, giving investors a way to trade exposure to several major cryptocurrencies under one ticker. 

Around 80% of the fund’s weight remains allocated to bitcoin, with the rest split among the other four tokens. The fund currently manages about $755 million in assets and charges a 2.5% annual fee.

Crypto Hacks and Scams Top $2.5B in H1 2025

 

Hackers stole more than $2.47 billion in cryptocurrency during the first half of 2025, surpassing last year’s total losses, according to blockchain security firm Certik.

Two large breaches, a hack at crypto exchange Bybit and an exploit targeting Cetus Protocol, accounted for a combined $1.78 billion of the total losses, Certik said in its Hack3d Report.

Wallet compromises were the leading cause of losses, draining $1.7 billion from investors. Phishing attacks, where scammers trick victims into revealing private keys or login credentials, accounted for $410 million stolen across 132 separate incidents.

Despite the massive headline numbers, the pace of losses slowed as the year progressed. Hacks and scams dropped 52% in value in the second quarter compared to the first, with $801 million lost between April and June.

Most incidents occurred on Ethereum, where $1.5 billion were stolen over 164 cases. Bitcoin followed, with $373 million being stolen in 10 incidents.

Design software company Figma has unveiled a significant bet on bitcoin as it gears up for a public listing. 

In a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the firm revealed it owns $69.5 million worth of bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and has set aside $30 million in stablecoins for additional bitcoin purchases.

Figma invested $55 million into the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB) on March 3, 2024. As of March 31, the stake had grown to $69.5 million, netting the company an unrealized gain of about 26%.

The company also revealed it holds $30 million in USDC intended for future bitcoin purchases. “The Company intends to re-invest its stablecoin holdings into Bitcoin at a later date,” Figma’s filing stated. The board approved the bitcoin allocation in May.
