Crypto asset manager Hashdex filed an amendment with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) seeking to add litecoin (LTC) and XRP among other cryptocurrencies to its Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF.

The proposal also lists cardano’s ADA, solana’s SOL and other altcoins including LINK, AVAX and UNI. The fund is currently mostly bitcoin (BTC) with some exposure to ether (ETH), according to Hashdex’s website.

An alternative version of the fund traded on the Bermuda Stock Exchange, the Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index ETF, already offers exposure to the broader basket of cryptocurrencies. The Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF is designed to track a diversified set of digital assets, offering investors regulated exposure to the crypto market.

Canary Capital has submitted paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch an exchange-traded fund (ETF) tracking the price of Sui (SUI), a layer-1 blockchain.

The hedge fund manager on Monday submitted an S-1 filing with the SEC after previously registering a trust entity in the state of Delaware — on March 7 — which appeared on the state’s Division of Corporations website.

Canary Capital has filed several crypto ETF filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in recent months, including for Dogecoin (DOGE), Solana (SOL) and XRP, among others.

The decision to launch a SUI ETF comes 10 days after Trump-affiliated decentralized finance (DeFi) platform World Liberty Financial (WLFI), said that it would add Sui assets to its token reserve and explore product development opportunities.

SUI jumped on the news, currently trading at $2.34. While the token is up over 52% over the past 12 months, zooming into the past month, it is down about 31%.

Canary Capital is now expected to file a 19b-4 document with the SEC, making its plans for a SUI fund official.

Ethereum developers launched a new test network, Hoodi, on Monday that will be used to carry out the blockchain’s upcoming ‘Pectra’ upgrade.

Pectra will go live on Hoodi on March 26, and if all goes well, the long-awaited upgrade will proceed to Etheruem’s mainnet roughly 30 days later, according to the network’s core developers.

Hoodi was created following faulty Pectra tests on Ethereum’s other testnets, Holesky and Sepolia, which failed to finalize properly due to problems with how they were configured.

Test networks like Holesky, Sepolia, and Hoodi aim to mimic the main Ethereum network — allowing developers the opportunity to test out code changes or major upgrades like Pectra in a low-stakes environment before deploying them to the mainnet.

Originally, the Pectra upgrade would have been activated on Ethereum following those two earlier tests. Because they didn’t go smoothly, developers decided to build Hoodi to test the ambitious Pectra upgrade one more time, although the testnet can also be used for future tests.

Hoodi is designed to mimic Ethereum’s mainnet, with the same number of validators on its network. Ethereum core developer Parithosh Jayanthi argued during last week’s Ethereum core developers call that Hoodi would therefore be the testnet for Ethereum staking pools and node operators to test their infrastructure.

Holesky and Sepolia were built for different purposes: Holesky has a bigger validator set than Ethereum’s mainnet, which is supposed to help test out scalability problems, while Sepolia is a closed network just for developers, meant for testing out applications.

Pectra contains a series of upgrades designed to make Ethereum more user-friendly and efficient for developers and end-users. One of the biggest changes includes adding «smart contract» capabilities that could give wallets new features, like the ability to pay gas fees in cryptocurrencies other than ether (ETH).
