Crypto exposure with training wheels has arrived.
Cyber Hornet, the firm behind the ticker BBB (formerly ZZZ), just launched three ETFs that might represent the most elegant solution yet to a problem financial advisers have been wrestling with for years: how do you give clients crypto exposure without abandoning the comfort of traditional equities?
The answer, apparently, is 75/25.
The Products
The new ETFs follow a straightforward formula: 75% S&P 500 stocks, 25% crypto futures exposure. Each fund targets a different digital asset:
• Cyber Hornet S&P 500 and XRP 75/25 Strategy ETF (ticker: XXX)
• Cyber Hornet S&P 500 and Ethereum 75/25 Strategy ETF (ticker: EEE)
• Cyber Hornet S&P 500 and Solana 75/25 Strategy ETF (ticker: SSS)
The ticker suite alone deserves recognition. XXX for XRP is particularly inspired marketing, though compliance teams reviewing client statements may have questions.
Why This Matters
The timing here is notable. According to the latest Bitwise/VettaFi survey, 32% of financial advisers allocated to crypto in client accounts in 2025, up from 22% in 2024. More striking: 99% of advisers who made those allocations plan to maintain or increase their exposure in 2026.
But here's the tension. Most advisers are still keeping crypto allocations modest, with 83% of crypto-exposed portfolios holding less than 5%. The hesitation isn't gone; it's just being managed.
Cyber Hornet's 75/25 structure addresses this directly. You're not asking a client (or a compliance department) to stomach a pure crypto position. You're proposing a large-cap equity allocation with a crypto kicker. The S&P 500 anchor provides ballast; the 25% crypto sleeve provides the upside capture that clients are increasingly asking about.
The Track Record
This isn't Cyber Hornet's first attempt at the format. Their original Bitcoin 75/25 ETF (now trading as BBB) delivered a 39% return in 2024, ranking in the top 2% of Morningstar's Large-Blend category among all 1,386 funds.
That performance earned attention. And it established proof of concept for the hybrid approach.
The Mechanics
Each fund charges 0.95% annually. They rebalance monthly to maintain the 75/25 split, with flexibility to adjust more frequently during volatility.
For the crypto portion, the funds can gain exposure through direct purchases (via platforms like Coinbase and Kraken), CME futures contracts, and exchange-traded products. Futures positions are managed through a Cayman Islands subsidiary and backed by short-term US Treasuries.
The Ethereum ETF uses CME Ether futures and direct ETH holdings. The Solana fund tracks the S&P Solana Futures Index. The XRP fund can hold XRP directly or through ETPs.
All three trade on Nasdaq.
The Bigger Picture
These launches represent something broader than just product proliferation. They're a bet on where adviser behaviour is heading.
The Bitwise/VettaFi survey found that advisers overwhelmingly prefer crypto equity ETFs when planning allocations for 2026. They also showed strong preference for index approaches (42%) over single-token funds.
Cyber Hornet's products don't fit neatly into either category. They're hybrid creatures: part equity index, part crypto, wrapped in a single ticker. For advisers trying to give clients some crypto exposure while maintaining portfolio discipline, that combination might be exactly right.
The question is whether the market wants a measured approach to crypto, or whether the whole point of crypto allocation is to embrace the volatility. Cyber Hornet is betting on the former.
The Elephant in the Room
These funds don't provide “pure” crypto exposure. They provide diluted crypto exposure, by design. For investors who want direct Solana or XRP holdings, spot ETFs from other issuers now exist.
But that misses the point. These products aren't for crypto maximalists. They're for the adviser who has clients asking about digital assets but doesn't want to blow up their risk budget. They're for the portfolio that needs to stay anchored in equities but could use some asymmetric upside.
With Bitcoin having hit $126,000 in 2025 before pulling back, and altcoins following suit, the “should we have some exposure?” question isn't going away. Cyber Hornet has built products that let advisers say yes without saying yes to everything that comes with it.
Whether XXX, EEE, and SSS catch on will depend on whether that measured approach resonates, or whether investors decide that if they're going crypto, they want the full experience.
Either way, those tickers will be memorable.
