Asset management behemoth, Franklin Templeton Investments (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BEN#NYSE">BEN</a>), is seeking regulatory approval to launch a new cryptocurrency index exchange-traded fund (ETF).
What Happened: Franklin Templeton filed an application with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) seeking approval to launch a new crypto index exchange-traded fund (ETF). 
&#8220;The fund currently may not hold any digital asset other than bitcoin and ether. It is uncertain whether any digital assets other than bitcoin and ether may in the future be added to the Underlying Index,&#8221; said Franklin Templeton in a regulatory filing on Thursday.
As of the filing date, the index was composed of 86.31% Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and 13.69% Ether (CRYPTO: ETHER). However, the weightage will be &#8220;rebalanced and reconstituted&#8221; quarterly in March, June, and December, stated the filing.
Franklin Templeton is aiming to leverage the growing interest in cryptocurrencies, a trend that has been fueled by President Donald Trump&#8216;s victory and his promise to transform the U.S. into the &#8220;crypto capital of the world&#8221; and to amass a national Bitcoin reserve. 
The SEC, which had earlier attempted to restrict ETFs from investing in Bitcoin due to investor protection concerns, greenlit Bitcoin and Ether ETFs last year. This decision has enabled a broader spectrum of investors, including institutional ones, to gain exposure to Bitcoin.

Why It Matters: Franklin Templeton&#8217;s move comes at a time when the cryptocurrency market is experiencing significant fluctuations. Despite a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43550794/bitcoin-spikes-among-trump-media-etf-move-ethereum-dogecoin-drop-top-analyst-eyes-eth-at-14k-on-breakout">downturn</a>&nbsp;in global market capitalization, institutional adoption is on the rise, with Bitcoin investments being permitted at the state level.
Moreover, the possibility of ETFs for other cryptocurrencies, including meme coins, is not entirely off the table. As&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43440361/exclusive-dogecoin-etf-justified-more-meme-coins-etfs-possible-bitwise-cio-says">Bitwise CIO Matthew Hougan</a>&nbsp;noted, such ETFs would require a liquid, globally distributed market with limited insider influence. 
Also, on Thursday, Chicago's Cboe Exchange submitted four distinct applications to the SEC for XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) ETFs on behalf of WisdomTree, Bitwise, 21Shares, and Canary.
This suggests that Franklin Templeton&#8217;s ETF if approved, could pave the way for a wider range of crypto-based ETFs in the future.

<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

Goldman Sachs is shaking up the 2025 playbook for the capital markets industry. In a note shared Monday, analyst Alexander Blostein, CFA outlined key winners and losers in alternative asset managers, brokers, and traditional managers, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/upgrades">with bold rating adjustments.</a> 
Among the top picks are KKR &amp; Co. Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KKR#NYSE">KKR</a>) and Raymond James Financial, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RJF#NYSE">RJF</a>), while Hamilton Lane Incorporated (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HLNE#NASDAQ">HLNE</a>) and Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBOE#NYSE">CBOE</a>) face downgrades.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Alternative Managers: The 2024 High-Flyers Face Valuation Concerns</h3>
Alternative asset managers outperformed the S&amp;P 500 by a robust 28% in 2024, surging 51% on average. Yet, lofty valuations and slowing growth expectations may challenge the sector&#8217;s momentum in 2025. 
Some stocks nearly doubled: KKR &amp; Co. Inc. climbed +82%, and StepStone Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STEP#NASDAQ">STEP</a>) was up 79%. At the lower end, Carlyle Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CG#NASDAQ">CG</a>) rose 24%, while Hamilton Lane Incorporated posted a 31% gain.
Despite these massive returns, average price-to-earnings (P/E) multiples for the group expanded over 30% last year, with the 2026 expected P/E standing at a steep 24.5x.
"We think some of the multiple expansion is justified by improving organic FRE [fee-related earnings] growth and a cyclical boost from capital markets activity, but valuations are becoming increasingly prohibitive," Blostein said. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Key Themes Driving Alternative Managers In 2025</h3>
Goldman Sachs indicated three major themes shaping the landscape for alternative managers in 2025:
<ol>
<li>Private Credit Competition: After driving 70% of management fee growth in 2024, private credit faces rising competition and risks of commoditization in direct lending, although demand for private investment-grade credit remains solid.</li>
<li>Retail and Private Wealth Expansion: The retail investor channel will continue to grow, but with increasing competition from scaled players.</li>
<li>Private Equity Revival: Fundraising and realization activity is expected to recover as deal markets normalize, benefiting corporate private equity managers.</li>
</ol>
Among alternative managers, Goldman&#8217;s top buys are KKR &amp; Co. Inc. and TPG Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TPG#NASDAQ">TPG</a>) for their robust FRE growth potential.
On the flip side, Hamilton Lane Incorporated was cut to Sell on slowing fee growth, with a target of $139. Blue Owl Capital Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OWL#NYSE">OWL</a>) was downgraded to Neutral on slowing organic growth.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Brokers: Recovery In M&amp;A Boosts RJF</h3>
Improved capital markets activity in 2025 could boost deal-making, especially in M&amp;A. 
Raymond James Financial, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RJF#NYSE">RJF</a>) was upgraded from Neutral to Buy, with Goldman setting a $185 price target. Blostein highlighted RJF's $2.5 billion excess capital and strong operating leverage as key growth drivers.
LPL Financial Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LPLA#NASDAQ">LPLA</a>) remains a top pick, while trust banks like The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BK#NYSE">BK</a>) and State Street Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STT#NYSE">STT</a>) are well-positioned for balanced growth.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional Managers: Stabilizing Or Slowing</h3>
Traditional asset managers show mixed potential. 
Franklin Resources, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BEN#NYSE">BEN</a>) was upgraded from Sell to Neutral due to its attractive valuation, including a 6.5% dividend yield and a 14% free cash flow yield. Janus Henderson Group plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JHG#NYSE">JHG</a>) also moved to Neutral on improving performance fees and ETF growth.
On the downside, Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMG#NYSE">AMG</a>) was downgraded to Neutral due to deteriorating EBITDA growth. Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBOE#NYSE">CBOE</a>) was cut from Neutral to Sell as growth in SPX and VIX option products stagnated.
