SBI Holdings has filed for regulatory approval in Japan for a unique crypto ETF offering exposure to both Bitcoin and XRP—two of the largest digital assets by market cap. This rare pairing in an institutional-grade financial instrument was revealed in SBI’s Q2 2025 earnings release.
The ‘Crypto-Assets ETF’ is designed to track the performance of both BTC and XRP simultaneously, offering investors a single-entry point for crypto exposure. A second proposal, named the Digital Gold Crypto ETF, allocates over 50% of its capital to traditional gold ETFs while combining the rest with gold-backed cryptocurrencies.
This hybrid product is targeted at risk-averse investors seeking to combine crypto potential with commodity stability.
If the ETFs are approved, it would mark the first time XRP is formally included in a regulated ETF in Japan—a market where XRP has not yet made inroads into institutional finance, especially compared to the U.S., where legal challenges have delayed similar efforts.
