富蘭克林·鄧普頓（Franklin Templeton）即將啟動加密貨幣交易所基金（ETF），該基金將向機構投資者提供監管對比特幣和以太幣的風險，待獲得美國證券交易委員會（SEC）的批准。

On Monday, Franklin Templeton filed Amendment No. 2 to its Form S-1 Registration Statement for the Franklin Crypto Index ETF, which is designed to track the CF Institutional Digital Asset Index – US–Settlement Price. The fund will initially hold bitcoin and ether, which will be custodied by Coinbase Custody Trust Company LLC. The Bank of New York Mellon will serve as the cash custodian, administrator, and transfer agent.

週一，富蘭克林·鄧普頓（Franklin Templeton）向富蘭克林加密指數ETF提交了其S-1登記表格的第二號修正案，該聲明旨在跟踪CF機構數字資產指數 - 美國 - 設定價格。該基金最初將持有比特幣和以太幣，這將由Coinbase Cancody Trust Company LLC拘留。紐約梅隆銀行將擔任現金監護人，管理員和轉讓代理人。

The original filing was made on Aug. 16, 2024, and this latest amendment provides more granular detail on the fund's structure and its journey through the regulatory approval process.

最初的文件是在2024年8月16日提出的，這項最新的修正案提供了有關基金結構及其在監管批准過程中的旅程的更精細的細節。

The ETF will be issued by the Franklin Crypto Trust, a Delaware statutory trust sponsored by Franklin Holdings LLC, and is set to be listed on the Cboe BZX Exchange under the ticker symbol “EZPZ.”

ETF將由富蘭克林加密信託公司（Franklin Crypto Trust）發行，這是由富蘭克林控股公司（Franklin Holdings LLC）贊助的特拉華州法定信託，並將在CBOE BZX Exchange中列出，並在股票符號“ EZPZ”下列出。

Pending regulatory approval, the ETF will commence trading on the Cboe BZX Exchange. According to a Form 19b-4 filed by the Cboe BZX Exchange on Sept. 19, 2024, the exchange is applying to list and trade shares of the trust on the BZX equities exchange. The application was published for public comment on Oct. 8, 2024, and the SEC extended its review period on Nov. 20, 2024, to allow for further deliberation.

在法規批准之前，ETF將開始在CBOE BZX交易所進行交易。根據CBOE BZX Exchange於2024年9月19日提交的19b-4表格，該交易所申請了BZX股票交易所信託的列表和交易股份。該申請於2024年10月8日發布了公眾評論，SEC於2024年11月20日延長了其審查期，以允許進一步審議。

An amendment to the proposal was filed on Dec. 17, 2024, prompting the SEC to seek additional public comments the following day. The public is invited to submit their feedback on the amended proposal until Dec. 29, 2024.

該提案的修正案於2024年12月17日提交，促使SEC在第二天尋求其他公眾評論。邀請公眾向修訂的提案提交反饋，直到2024年12月29日。

The ETF will issue shares in “Creation Units” of 50,000 shares, and transactions will occur in cash without engaging in staking or yield-generating activities.

ETF將以50,000股的“創建單位”發行股票，並以現金進行交易，而不會從事積分或產生產生的活動。

Franklin Resources Inc., the parent company of Franklin Templeton, will be making an initial investment in the ETF. As per the prospectus, the company will purchase 4,000 shares at $25 each, converting these into bitcoin and ether to prepare for the ETF's launch. This initial investment amounts to $100,000.

富蘭克林·鄧普頓（Franklin Templeton）的母公司富蘭克林資源公司（Franklin Resources Inc.）將對ETF進行初步投資。根據招股說明書，該公司將每股25美元購買4,000股，將其轉換為比特幣和以太以準備ETF的發布。最初的投資為100,000美元。

The prospectus also includes a standard disclaimer, highlighting that “these securities may not be sold until the registration statement filed with the SEC is effective,” reiterating the necessity of regulatory approval before the ETF can commence trading.

該招股說明書還包括一個標準免責聲明，強調“直到向SEC提交的註冊聲明才能有效出售這些證券”，”重申在ETF開始交易之前的監管批准的必要性。
