The proposed US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) listing standards are likely to facilitate the listing of crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs).
The new policy would allow any digital asset trading on the derivatives market of Coinbase with an over 6-month history to be listed on a generic basis. It is estimated that this transition will influence more than a dozen big crypto tokens.
The rule proposal followed a request by the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE). Provided that it is accepted, issuers will have an opportunity not to receive approvals of each crypto ETF separately under the condition of meeting the mentioned requirements. This would severely reduce the regulatory requirements of new funds coming into the market.
The SEC's "Listing Standards" for crypto ETPs is out via new exchange filing. BOTTOM LINE: Any coin that has futures tracking it for >6mo on Coinbase's derivatives exchange would be approved (below is list). It's about a dozen of the usual suspects, the same ones we had at 85% or… https://t.co/QlzZnta7Yv pic.twitter.com/CmBr8XxAcM

Streamlined path for crypto ETF listings
According to ETF analyst Nate Geraci, filing with the SEC was a major step. Introducing a generic approval system would facilitate the normalization of the approach to launching crypto ETFs. With this plan, all funds would not be subjected to a different SEC clearance as long as they meet the listing requirements.
On the proposal, less than 85 percent of the assets in the form of money in an asset should be easily redeemable upon demand without a liquidity risk management system. Solana and XRP are the first ones affected by ETPs. Solana’s ETP needs to win approval by October 10, and XRP is not too far behind. Both items can consist of in-kind creative elements and staking options.
The SEC will initiate a comment period, which is likely to be closed 21 days after the rule appears in the Federal Agency. Such a filing should occur within the week. Without delays in the rule, it can end up in less than 60 days.
Broader industry movement to ease regulation
NYSE Arca has also filed something similar, and the move has numerous supporters in the industry. Now, exchanges are required to submit a 19b-4 form on each subsequent ETF, and this process is subject to lengthy consulting procedures with the SEC.
The changes will only come soon after the SEC approves in-kind creations and redemptions of crypto ETFs. This amendment will bring crypto funds even closer to the working model of classic ETFs and indicate an increase in institutional appreciation of digital assets.
Federal action supporting crypto policy
Multiple attempts at the federal level have been made to harmonize crypto regulation with conventional finance. Recently, the White House has presented designs for standardizing crypto regulations. The Trump administration has issued a 168-page policy paper that argues that fewer bureaucratic barriers and transparent trading standards should be used.
The complicated nature of the rules and regulations has even resulted in the drafting of recent acts such as the GENIUS Act, CLARITY Act, and CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act, which pay attention to stablecoins, the crypto structure of the market, and central bank digital currencies. These bills will now go to the Senate following the August recess.
