Franklin Templeton’s Dividend-to-Bitcoin ETFs Open on Nasdaq With About $72,000 in Trades

Franklin Templeton's dividend-to-Bitcoin ETFs, FBEQ and FIBT, began trading on Nasdaq on Thursday with about $72,000 in trades. These ETFs build their bitcoin exposure from dividends through ETPs, derivatives, and depositary receipts rather than holding bitcoin directly, according to their prospectuses. The low initial volume suggests modest early investor interest.
