• A second, hybrid ETF will blend gold with digital assets to attract a wider investor base.

Japanese financial services firm SBI Holdings has filed applications to launch two new crypto-linked ETFs in Japan.

The company disclosed the move in its Q2 2025 earnings presentation, outlining plans for funds that would include XRP, Bitcoin, and Gold.
