Summary
Franklin Templeton filed SEC paperwork for two proposed Bitcoin DRIP index ETFs. The structure would start with a 95% U.S. equity and 5% Bitcoin-linked allocation. The funds are preliminary filings, not live products, with an anticipated effective date no earlier than September 2026. Franklin Templeton has filed registration paperwork for a pair of proposed exchange-traded funds that would take a familiar stock-market concept and point it toward Bitcoin.
