About Hashdex
Hashdex is a crypto asset manager founded in Brazil that focuses on index products, realised in the US as NCIQ: a spot ETF tracking the Nasdaq CME Crypto Index, holding bitcoin, ether, XRP, solana, cardano and chainlink by market-cap weight, rebalanced quarterly at a 0.25% management fee, with custody split across Coinbase Custody, BitGo and Fidelity Digital Assets.
Index inclusion follows rules: an asset must be listed on at least three vetted exchanges, supported by two or more institutional custodians and turn over at least 0.5% of the largest constituent's volume, while stablecoins and wrapped tokens are excluded; weights are reviewed quarterly by an independent committee, so no single commercial party can change composition alone. The range spans single-asset, basket, equity and pre-IPO ETPs sold across eight countries, with more than one billion dollars under management. Market-cap weighting keeps bitcoin above seventy percent for long stretches, so real diversification is limited.
On 20 January 2026 Hashdex renamed its US product and the underlying index, which became the Hashdex Nasdaq CME Crypto Index ETF, or NCIQ, tracking the Nasdaq CME Crypto Index. On 1 September NCIQ added Hyperliquid, taking holdings from eight to nine assets.
As of 30 September 2026 Hashdex managed more than $2 billion in index products across eight countries, including the world's first crypto index ETF and the first multi-asset crypto ETF in the United States. Bitcoin dominates the index at roughly three quarters of weight, followed by Ethereum, XRP, Solana and HYPE.
Hashdex will keep replacing stock picking with rules-based indexes, add assets as regulation opens, and run single-asset and multi-asset product lines in parallel.

Hashdex's recent team changes centered on leadership restructuring. In March 2026, co-founder Bruno Caratori became Global CEO, Marcelo Sampaio moved to Executive Chairman, and Mick McLaughlin was named U.S. CEO while remaining Global Head of Distribution sec.gov. McLaughlin joined in December 2024 and previously led ETF distribution at Bitwise and other firms.
According to this dataset, McLaughlin departed in July 2026 after roughly one and a half years. Before leaving, he oversaw U.S. business and global distribution, and helped expand Hashdex's crypto ETF platform across institutional and advisor channels markets.businessinsider.com. This update records only this departure.
Hashdex charges a 0.25% annual management fee on its NCIQ spot crypto index ETF, which tracks the Nasdaq CME Crypto Settlement Price Index with Bitcoin at 75.6% and Ethereum at 11.3% of holdings.
Hashdex is a regulated asset manager with Brazil's Comissao de Valores Mobiliarios (CVM) and registered with the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority; its spot Bitcoin ETF won US SEC approval in March 2024, and CVM approved its crypto index ETFs.
