๐จ *SEC Crypto ETF Reviews Update* ๐
*What's Happening Now*
The SEC is reviewing a large number of crypto-related ETF/ETP filings, with as many as 92 applications pending as of August 2025. These cover a broad set of assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Litecoin, XRP, and Dogecoin, as well as options, leveraged, and derivatives-style products ยน.

- *In-Kind Creations/Redemptions*: The SEC has permitted in-kind creations and redemptions for crypto ETPs, which can help reduce costs and tighten pricing/spreads.
