ChainCatcher reported, citing Solid Intel, that asset management company Franklin Templeton has submitted a new type of ETF application to regulators. The central feature of the proposed product structure is that cash dividends generated by the stocks held by the ETF would be automatically reinvested into Bitcoin.
An ETF, or exchange-traded fund, is a fund product traded on an exchange and built around a defined asset structure. In this filing, Franklin Templeton links cash dividends from stock holdings with an automatic Bitcoin reinvestment mechanism within the same ETF design. Further handling of the application will depend on the regulatory review process for the submitted documents.
