Crypto index ETF debut: 21Shares launches FTSE Crypto 10 pair
21Shares launches TTOP and TXBC, the first U.S. ’40 Act products tracking broad digital assets via a crypto index etf.
What do these crypto index etf launches change?
On Nov. 13, 2025, 21Shares introduced the 21Shares FTSE Crypto 10 Index ETF (TTOP) and the 21Shares FTSE Crypto 10 ex-BTC Index ETF (TXBC). These are the first index funds registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (Investment Company Act of 1940), bringing crypto under the same framework as conventional ETFs.
Moreover, the funds aim to provide one-ticker exposure to the top 10 assets without managing wallets or keys. They highlight Bitcoin as a store of value, Ethereum and Solana for smart contracts and DeFi, and Dogecoin as a community asset. Both portfolios rebalance quarterly to keep pace with market leadership.
How do TTOP and TXBC work?
The 21Shares FTSE Crypto 10 Index ETF (TTOP) has a management fee of 0.50% and tracks the FTSE Crypto 10 Select Index, a market cap-weighted basket of the world’s largest ten crypto assets. However, weights shift at each quarterly rebalance to reflect changing market caps.
Moreover, the 21Shares FTSE Crypto 10 ex-BTC Index ETF (TXBC) charges 0.65% and follows the FTSE Crypto 10 ex Bitcoin Select Index, focusing on networks and tokens with real-world use cases beyond Bitcoin’s macro hedge role. For methodology specifics, see FTSE Russell’s ground rules.
Different investors segment Bitcoin differently. That said, “TXBC is designed for the latter group – a straightforward way to capture the potential growth of other leading blockchain networks and applications in one ticker, without the need to manage individual holdings,” added Federico Brokate.
What benchmarks and partners are involved?
Meanwhile, the products were launched with Teucrium, an ETF adviser specializing in alternative markets, acting as adviser and white-label platform. This supports product development and distribution. The pair is available under the TTOP ETF ticker and TXBC ETF ticker, expanding 21Shares’ regulated crypto ETF lineup.
Why the timing matters for the U.S. market
The rollout reinforces 21Shares’ U.S. ambitions while extending a global record of product innovation, operations and risk management. As noted in the official news release, these are the first U.S. index funds to adopt the ’40 Act structure in this segment.
Recently, 21Shares joined forces with BlackRock IBIT to create a full-service digital assets provider across brokerage, liquidity, investment management, lending and structured products. Moreover, leveraging FalconX’s prime brokerage footprint will bolster access across Latin America, North America and Europe.
