#Cointober Kicks Off: Polkadot & Sui ETFs Hit DTCC
Big news today: 21Shares has listed Polkadot (TDOT) and Sui (TSUI) ETFs on the DTCC.
But remember—listing is not the same as SEC approval.
•What a DTCC Listing Means
Think of the DTCC as a “holding area” before the SEC decision. It doesn’t equal approval, but it signals that ETFs are preparing for launch.
• Key Deadlines
• Polkadot ETF ($DOT) → November 2025 deadline
• Sui ETF (TSUI) → December 2025 deadline
The SEC is moving quicker now, partly due to the 19b-4 rule change streamlining the process.
• ETF Buzz Builds
In recent weeks, DTCC has also listed Fidelity Solana (FSOL), Canary HBAR (HBR), and Canary XRP (XRPC). None are officially approved yet—the SEC still has the final say.
•Why It Matters
Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas says approval odds are essentially 100%. He even teased: “Who’s ready for Cointober?”
With Litecoin and Solana ETFs leading the way, October could be one of the biggest months yet for crypto ETFs.
• Investor Caution
The SEC has also warned about scams tied to ETF hype: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Question for the community:
Do you think $DOT and $SUI will rally ahead of approval—or will the SEC slow things down?
