Show description: Vanguard will permit client trading of select third-party, regulated crypto exchange-traded funds and mutual funds on its platform effective December 3, 2025. The eligible products cited include bitcoin, ether, and solana ETFs. The move reverses a prior Vanguard prohibition on crypto fund trading and affects roughly 50 million clients across retail, advisor, and institutional channels. Vanguard said it will not launch a proprietary crypto fund or offer direct token custody. The firm implemented system upgrades for fund eligibility checks, order routing, trade surveillance, prospectus delivery, tax reporting, and broker controls to integrate these products into existing brokerage workflows. Vanguard stated the change operates under existing securities and fund rules and that issuer transparency, fee disclosure, and operational readiness will govern offerings. Advisors and plan sponsors can allocate crypto exposure within existing models and custodial reporting, subject to plan rules and due diligence. Vanguard manages about $11 trillion in client assets and announced the change under CEO Salim Ramji.
