Vanguard to Allow Bitcoin and Ether ETF Trading on Platform Starting December 2025
Vanguard, the world's second-largest asset manager with approximately $11 trillion in assets, will enable clients to trade third-party cryptocurrency ETFs and mutual funds beginning December 2, 2025, according to Bloomberg. The policy shift grants more than 50 million investors access to products holding Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana, and other digital assets through the firm's US brokerage platform. The decision follows the appointment of Salim Ramji as chief executive this year, reversing the firm's previous stance under former CEO Tim Buckley, who stated Bitcoin ETFs did not belong in typical retirement accounts.
