Franklin Templeton Files for Two Nasdaq ETFs Blending US Stocks and Bitcoin

Franklin Templeton has filed Form 8A to launch two Nasdaq-listed ETFs that pair US equities with a Bitcoin sleeve, split 95% to stocks and 5% to Bitcoin: $FBEQ and $FIBT. One fund tracks roughly 500 large-cap US stocks, the other follows the Nasdaq's top 100 non-financial companies. Stock dividends convert automatically into bitcoin exposure through EZBC, with quarterly rebalancing trimming the position back to 4.5% whenever it climbs above 5%.
