State Street Global Advisors has partnered with Galaxy Digital to introduce new exchange-traded funds (ETFs) focused on digital assets, extending beyond just spot Bitcoin ETFs.

The new ETFs will target investments in publicly traded digital asset firms, such as crypto exchanges, mining firms, hardware wallet providers, and crypto-focused venture capital firms, both in the U.S. and internationally.

These ETFs will also invest in futures and spot ETF products.

State Street proposed three new ETFs to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC): the SPDR Galaxy Digital Asset Ecosystem ETF, the SPDR Galaxy Emerging Technology Enablers ETF, and the Hedged Digital Asset Ecosystem ETF.

The aim is to provide both institutional and retail investors with more diverse investment options in the growing digital asset space.

State Street Bank and Trust will handle administrative and accounting services for these digital asset ETFs.

The company has been involved in the digital asset sector since June 2021 but has not recently applied for spot Bitcoin or Ether ETFs, unlike some of its competitors.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. have seen significant inflows, amounting to over $14.4 billion in just over five months.
