Catenaa, Tuesday, December 02, 2025-Vanguard will let clients trade funds that hold crypto assets starting Tuesday after a policy shift driven by demand from retail and institutional accounts, according to reports.
Bloomberg said ETFs and mutual funds containing bitcoin, ether, XRP and Solana will be available after months of internal review.
Vanguard resisted crypto products in past years and declined to offer access to spot bitcoin ETFs launched in early 2024.
Pressure from investors grew as crypto funds expanded in the United States.
Spot bitcoin ETFs received approval in January 2024, with spot ether products arriving six months later.
Asset managers then filed products tied to XRP, Solana, Dogecoin and Litecoin. Analysts said the number of crypto based ETF filings rose in recent months.
Vanguard executives told Bloomberg trading systems are ready for digital asset funds. Brokerage leaders said fund operations have been tested through periods of price swings.
The report said maturity of fund administration factored into the decision. Research firms now predict sharp growth in crypto ETFs. Bloomberg Intelligence said more than 100 new products could launch within six months.
Vanguard oversees more than 50 million brokerage accounts. It manages more than $11 trillion across stocks, bonds and other assets.
