SEC

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has once again hit the pause button—this time on whether to allow staking within the proposed Ethereum ETF by Bitwise. While investors await the verdict, the SEC is calling for public input and evaluating potential risks such as market manipulation and investor exposure.

🔹 What’s the issue? Bitwise already received preliminary approval for a spot ETH ETF. Now they want to expand it by including staking, allowing holders to passively earn yield by locking up ETH to help secure the blockchain.

🔹 Why the hesitation? The SEC worries that staking within a publicly traded ETF could lead to conflicts of interest or market abuse. They've launched a public comment period to gather broader insights before issuing a final decision.

📊 Altcoin ETFs Set for Green Light: 95% Approval Chance for Solana, XRP, and Litecoin
While staking within an ETH ETF is still in limbo, major altcoins are seeing smoother regulatory skies. According to Bloomberg analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart, there's now a 95% chance that spot ETFs for the following assets will be approved in the second half of 2025:
🔹 Solana (SOL)

🔹 XRP

🔹 Litecoin (LTC)
This could significantly broaden the U.S. crypto ETF landscape. Seyffart even predicts a “wave of new ETFs” in the coming months—including basket or index-based crypto ETFs.

First U.S. Staking ETF Launches – But Not for Ethereum
The first staking ETF in the U.S. may be REX Osprey Solana Staking ETF, officially launching this Wednesday. It faced regulatory challenges from the SEC, which required at least 40% of assets to be invested in other ETPs, preferably those based outside the U.S.
While Solana’s staking ETF moves forward, Ethereum staking remains under review and public discussion.

Tensions are rising around the long-running legal battle between the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ripple. Although the XRP community eagerly awaits a final ruling, lawyer and former SEC Regional Director Marc Fagel has warned that rejecting the SEC's appeal won't be a matter of days, but more likely weeks—or longer.

🧾 Why Is the Case Still Dragging On?
Ripple has already withdrawn its own appeal in the XRP lawsuit, making a step toward closing the years-long legal marathon. However, the SEC has not yet formally voted to drop its own appeal—a necessary step before any resolution can move forward.
Marc Fagel explained on X (formerly Twitter) that the SEC will need to vote on dismissing its appeal. Following that, both parties must submit formal documents confirming the withdrawal. Only then will the district court's ruling become final and enforceable.
"It could take several weeks or even longer. It may be possible to accelerate the process, but there is no set timeline," Fagel said.

📆 What About July 3?
XRP supporters were intrigued by an upcoming closed-door SEC meeting scheduled for July 3. Some speculate that the SEC might decide to drop its case against Ripple during this session.
However, Fagel dismissed those expectations:
"It’s likely just a routine weekly meeting. I don’t believe it has anything to do with the Ripple case."

So it's unlikely that a resolution will arrive on July 3. As other analysts have also suggested, the legal saga surrounding XRP could continue for several more weeks—or even longer.

⚖️ Endgame Still Uncertain
Despite the XRP community and markets hoping for a final verdict, the situation remains unclear. The SEC has yet to take the crucial step of withdrawing its appeal, and no official signals point to a swift resolution.
For now, patience remains key. Although the legal chessboard is slowly taking shape, the XRP case is far from over.

Hi! You're following the crypto market, aren't you? So, the SEC is currently discussing a revolutionary simplification for launching cryptocurrency ETFs. In short, they want to remove one of the most tedious stages of approval — the submission of form 19b-4.
What's happening?
Now, to launch a crypto-ETF, you need to go through two difficult stages.:
Form S-1 — standard registration (wait ~75 days).
Form 19b-4 is a request to change the rules of the exchange (it is long and painful).
But the SEC offers a new scheme: if the token meets certain criteria (for example, high liquidity and capitalization), then 19b-4 can be skipped. That is, only S-1 → we are waiting → and the ETF is launched!
Why is this important?
Entering the market faster means less bureaucracy, and there are more chances that altcoin ETFs will appear.
More trust from institutions — if the SEC simplifies the process, it means cryptocurrencies are getting closer to the mainstream.
An opportunity for new ETFs — for example, for Solana, XRP or other alts (if they fit the criteria).
But there are nuances.
So far, this is just a discussion — the SEC has not yet made a final decision.
The criteria for selecting tokens are not clear — they will probably take into account liquidity, capitalization and trading volumes.
It is not certain that this will affect all crypto ETFs - perhaps only for blue chips.
What's next?
If the SEC really simplifies the process, we could see a new wave of crypto ETFs as early as 2025-2026. And this is an influx of institutional money and, possibly, market growth.
Do you think this will really work, or will the SEC complicate things again?

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved Grayscale’s proposal to convert its Digital Large Cap Fund into a spot exchange-traded fund (ETF).
This decision brings together Bitcoin ($BTC ), Ethereum ($ETH ), $XRP , Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA), offering a new investment vehicle for U.S. investors.



Grayscale’s BTC, ETH, XRP, ADA Large Fund Conversion to ETF Approved
Grayscale’s newly approved spot ETF will allow investors easier access to a regulated product that includes top digital assets. The fund, previously available only in private markets, will now be listed on major stock exchanges, broadening its accessibility to a wider range of investors.
This decision comes as part of a growing trend of increasing regulatory oversight on cryptocurrency products in the U.S.
The approval is notable because it marks the first multi-token spot ETF, offering exposure to several popular cryptocurrencies in one fund. The decision follows the SEC’s approval of Grayscale’s Bitcoin futures ETF and its earlier decision to allow the conversion of Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) into a spot Bitcoin ETF in January 2024.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission has delayed a decision on staking for the Bitwise Ethereum ETF. This decision comes after months of talks between Bitwise, NYSE Arca, and regulators.


SEC Launches Fresh Review as Bitwise Pushes for Staking in Ethereum ETF
The Ethereum ETF was first approved to hold Ethereum directly, but Bitwise later proposed adding staking to it. Staking lets holders of Ethereum lock up their coins to help secure the network. In return, they earn new coins as rewards.
Many see staking as a good way to earn extra income. However, regulators believe staking in an Ethereum ETF might increase risks and create possible conflicts of interest.
On June 30, 2025, the SEC released an official statement that it will start a new review of the Ethereum ETF proposal. This move shows they are not ready to approve staking yet.

The commission wants to understand if staking in an ETH ETF could hurt investors. Bitwise believes staking can help its ETF generate extra returns for investors.
The firm says this would not change how the ETH ETF holds or reports its assets. Bitwise argues staking could make the Ethereum ETF more attractive to both retail and big investors.
SEC Seeks Public Input on Bitwise’s ETF Proposal
However, the SEC says any change to the Ethereum ETF must protect investors and support fair trading. Officials are concerned that staking could lead to fraud or unfair practices.
The SEC now wants public comments to guide its final decision on the Ethereum ETF staking plan. Many investors want more ways to access Ethereum without holding it directly.
The approval of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs last year was a big step forward. But adding staking to an ETH ETF is still a sensitive topic for regulators.
The SEC has set a deadline for comments on this proposal. After that, they will review all feedback before making a final decision.
Until then, the fund will remain as a regular spot ETH ETF. This choice could shape the future of staking in all similar ETFs. If approved, other fund managers might try to add staking as well.
Meanwhile, Rex-Osprey’s CEO, Gregory King, has claimed that his firm’s Solana staking ETF will launch on July 2.

The legal battle between Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) continues, and many are asking: Why didn’t Judge Analisa Torres dismiss the case, which has dragged on for years? Former SEC attorney Marc Fagel offered insight on platform X, shedding light on the reasoning behind her decision.

🔹 Ripple Accused of Unregistered Securities Sales
Fagel explained that Judge Torres likely refused to dismiss the case because she found that Ripple had raised hundreds of millions of dollars through unregistered securities sales. That, according to Fagel, justified the continuation of the legal proceedings.
Fagel commented:

“Probably because she found that Ripple illegally raised hundreds of millions from unregistered securities sales. Why would she ‘give up’ (whatever that means)?”

🔹 Ripple Agrees to $50 Million Penalty
Recently, Judge Torres denied a joint motion by Ripple and the SEC to conclude the lawsuit. Ripple then withdrew its appeal and agreed to pay a $50 million penalty, though that didn’t stop further debate about whether the case has served its intended purpose.

🔹 Has the Case Helped the SEC Fulfill Its Mission?
Some users on platform X questioned whether the case truly advanced the SEC’s core mission—protecting investors, maintaining fair markets, and facilitating capital formation. Fagel responded:
“If a company doesn’t want to comply with federal laws, it should try to change them—not decide for itself which ones matter.”

🔹 Why Wasn’t Ethereum Part of the Case?
Fagel also noted that a judge can only rule on cases that are formally brought before them—explaining why Ethereum wasn’t addressed in the Ripple lawsuit. He added that Judge Torres’s role in the Ripple case is effectively over:
“Judge Torres no longer has any further role in this case. Her ruling becomes final once the SEC formally drops its appeal and submits it to the appeals court, which hasn’t happened yet.”

🔹 Permanent Ban on Institutional XRP Sales?
The court ruling also classified institutional XRP sales as securities offerings, meaning Ripple must either halt these sales or comply with securities laws.
Attorney Bill Morgan, a known legal voice in the XRP community, pointed out that Ripple is now preparing for a permanent injunction on these "historical institutional sales." Contrary to claims that the injunction only addresses past sales, Morgan clarified:
“A court injunction like the one issued against Ripple is meant to restrict current or future conduct. It can’t apply to past behavior that already occurred.”
