#SECETFApproval

In July 2025, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a new unified framework to expedite the approval of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for digital currencies, reducing the approval timeframe from approximately 240 days to just 75 days. This facilitates the listing of funds such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and alternative currencies like Solana, XRP, and Litecoin. The new framework includes clear disclosure requirements regarding custody, storage, risks, and redemption, with high expectations for the approval of major digital currency funds exceeding 90%. This move enhances institutional adoption of digital currencies, expands investment options, and increases market liquidity, representing a significant shift in integrating traditional finance with the world of cryptocurrencies.
