ARK Invest files for CoinDesk 20 Crypto Index ETFs

2 min read

Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest has filed with U.S. regulators to launch two crypto index exchange-traded funds tied to the CoinDesk 20 index, marking the firm’s first push into broad crypto exposure beyond Bitcoin.

Summary
  • Wood’s latest move marks her firm’s first push into broad crypto exposure beyond Bitcoin.
  • The proposed ETFs would track the daily performance of the CoinDesk 20 index.
  • WisdomTree filed its registration for a CoinDesk 20 Fund in Delaware on September 22.

According to a regulatory filing, the proposed ETFs would track the daily performance of the CoinDesk 20 index using regulated futures contracts rather than holding crypto directly.

One fund would include Bitcoin alongside major altcoins such as Ether, Solana, XRP and Cardano, while a second product would exclude bitcoin entirely by pairing long index futures with short bitcoin futures.

Both funds are slated for NYSE Arca listing, positioning ARK alongside other firms as competition intensifies for diversified crypto exchange-traded funds (ETF) offerings.

WisdomTree filed its registration for a CoinDesk 20 Fund in Delaware on September 22, 2025, a preliminary step toward a U.S. ETF tied to the CoinDesk 20 index that covers the largest cryptocurrencies by market cap.

Meanwhile, ProShares submitted its SEC filing for the ProShares CoinDesk Crypto 20 ETF on October 22, 2025, seeking approval for a diversified crypto ETF that would track the same index via derivatives rather than direct holdings.

Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto

The post Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Advertisement &nbsp &nbsp Forward Industries, the largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, has filed a $4 billion at-the-market (ATM) equity offering program with the U.S. SEC  to raise more capital for additional SOL accumulation. Forward Strategies Doubles Down On Solana Strategy In a Wednesday press release, Forward Industries revealed that the 4 billion ATM equity offering program will allow the company to issue and sell common stock via Cantor Fitzgerald under a sales agreement dated Sept. 16, 2025. Forward said proceeds will go toward “general corporate purposes,” including the pursuit of its Solana balance sheet and purchases of income-generating assets. The sales of the shares are covered by an automatic shelf registration statement filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission that is already effective – meaning the shares will be tradable once they’re sold. An automatic shelf registration allows certain publicly listed companies to raise capital with flexibility swiftly.  Kyle Samani, Forward’s chairman, astutely described the ATM offering as “a flexible and efficient mechanism” to raise and deploy capital for the company’s Solana strategy and bolster its balance sheet.  Advertisement &nbsp Though the maximum amount is listed as $4 billion, the firm indicated that sales may or may not occur depending on existing market conditions. “The ATM Program enhances our ability to continue scaling that position, strengthen our balance sheet, and pursue growth initiatives in alignment with our long-term vision,” Samani said. Forward Industries kicked off its Solana treasury strategy on Sept. 8. The Wednesday S-3 form follows Forward’s $1.65 billion private investment in public equity that closed last week, led by crypto heavyweights like Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital. The company started deploying that capital this week, announcing it snatched up 6.8 million SOL for approximately $1.58 billion at an average price of $232…
