Franklin Crypto Index ETF, a series of Franklin Crypto Trust, provides exposure to a diversified basket of digital assets through exchange-listed shares on Cboe BZX under the ticker EZPZ. The fund is a passive vehicle that seeks to track the CF Institutional Digital Asset Index – US–Settlement Price.
As of December 31, 2025, the index included Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana, Dogecoin, Cardano, Chainlink and Stellar Lumens, led by Bitcoin at 74.81% weight. The trust is an emerging growth company and is not registered under the Investment Company Act. A 0.19% annual sponsor fee covers most ordinary expenses, with the sponsor temporarily waiving fees on the first $10 billion of assets after launch.
Creations and redemptions occur only in 50,000-share Creation Units via Authorized Participants, using cash or in‑kind digital asset transfers through Coinbase-affiliated custody and prime brokerage. Seed capital transactions in early 2025 funded initial bitcoin and ether purchases, and the fund periodically sells digital assets to pay fees and any non‑assumed expenses.
Franklin Crypto Index ETF (EZPZ) is expanding the digital assets it tracks and holds. The fund’s underlying index, the CF Institutional Digital Asset Index – US–Settlement Price, will add new constituents effective December 1, 2025. From that date, the index – and the fund’s portfolio – will include Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana, Dogecoin, Cardano, Stellar Lumens, and Chainlink.
Under new Cboe BZX Exchange Generic Listing Standards, the fund is permitted to hold these additional digital assets, rather than being limited to Bitcoin and Ether. The fund intends to invest in these eight assets in approximately the same weights used in the index, which will continue to follow a quarterly rebalancing schedule.
The sponsor is also adding flexibility to how large institutional trading partners interact with the fund. Authorized Participants will now be able to create and redeem Creation Units on an in-kind basis, in addition to the existing cash creation and redemption process.
Franklin Crypto Trust supplements its prospectus to reflect changes to the Fund’s underlying index and operational mechanics.

The Fund will also permit in-kind creations and redemptions for Creation Units, in addition to cash transactions, in reliance on the Generic Listing Standards.
