According to Bloomberg, beginning December 2, 2025, Vanguard will allow exchange-traded funds and mutual funds that mainly hold Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana, and other digital assets to trade on its platform.
This marks the end of the company’s long resistance to supporting crypto products. While it will not launch its own crypto offerings, the firm will support most regulated funds and will continue to exclude products tied to memecoins.
A Turning Point for Traditional Investors
For years, many investors could not buy crypto-related funds through large financial platforms. That created a barrier for people who preferred familiar tools like ETFs, which are simple baskets of assets that trade on public exchanges. Vanguard’s decision changes that landscape. It opens the door for millions of customers to gain exposure to digital assets without needing a separate crypto account.

The timing follows a rise in regulated crypto products across the market. In 2025, several fund managers launched ETFs backed by digital assets, and these products quickly became some of the most actively traded new funds of the year. One recent example comes from a fund that tracks the price of Bitcoin and saw over one billion dollars in inflows during its first month. This strong demand has pushed large financial firms to rethink their approach to digital assets.

Analysts say that this move from Vanguard reflects a wider trend. More investors now view crypto as part of long-term portfolio planning. Data from recent market reports shows that ownership of digital assets among United States households reached a record level in 2025, driven by interest in alternative assets and new rules that provide more clarity for fund issuers.
What Vanguard Will and Will Not Allow
Vanguard will permit most ETFs and mutual funds that meet regulatory standards to trade on its platform. These funds primarily hold major digital assets such as Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, and Solana. The firm will not create its own crypto products, and it will continue to block access to funds tied to memecoins, which are considered highly speculative. This approach keeps the focus on established assets with deeper liquidity and clearer use cases.
With Vanguard now opening access to crypto ETFs, there’s no better time to bring this back up.😶🌫️

“Digital assets are the FIRST asset class in HISTORY that the REGULAR PERSON ENTERED BEFORE INSTITUTIONS.” 🔥

The firm’s decision also comes at a time when traditional platforms are integrating digital assets more frequently. Some firms now offer retirement plans that include crypto funds. Others allow automatic purchases of ETFs linked to digital assets, showing how quickly the market is changing.
