Franklin Templeton has filed Form 8-A paperwork with the SEC for two ETFs designed to reinvest stock dividends into bitcoin-related exposure, according to an October 26 BlockBeats report.
Equities with bitcoin exposure
The proposed products are the Franklin US Equity Bitcoin DRIP Index ETF (FBEQ) and Franklin US Innovation Bitcoin DRIP Index ETF (FIBT). BlockBeats said both would start with about 95% in US stocks and 5% in bitcoin exposure.
Cash dividends would be used to add bitcoin-related exposure. The funds would access bitcoin through exchange-traded products and derivatives, without holding bitcoin directly, the report said.
