SEC Speeds Up Formulating Common Listing Standard for Crypto ETFs, Altcoin ETF "Floodgates" Set to Open
BlockBeats News, July 9th, according to Theblock report, as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission considers expediting the approval of a unified listing framework, the "gate" for altcoin cryptocurrency ETFs is about to open. Previously, according to crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is collaborating with various exchanges to develop a universal cryptocurrency ETF listing standard, which is still in its early stages. If a cryptocurrency meets the standard, the issuer can bypass the 19b-4 process and directly submit an S-1 filing, waiting for 75 days for the exchange to list it. This approach can save issuers and the SEC a significant amount of paperwork and time spent seeking feedback. Specific rules for the universal listing standard for cryptocurrency ETFs have not yet been clarified, with market speculation considering market capitalization, trading volume, and liquidity.
Bloomberg industry research ETF analyst James Seyffart expects the framework draft to be released this month, with implementation in September or October, at which point the gates for other asset ETFs will open. Analyst Eric Balchunas recently estimated a 95% likelihood of the SEC approving ETFs for SOL, XRP, and LTC, with a high likelihood of ETF proposals tracking Dogecoin, Cardano, and Polkadot also being approved, at around 90%.
