Analyst: US SEC Releases New Standards for Cryptocurrency ETFs, Coinbase Futures-Linked Asset Poised to Be First Approved
BlockBeats News, July 31st, Bloomberg ETF Senior Analyst Eric Balchunas stated on social media that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has released a new trading platform filing for cryptocurrency ETPs, outlining the "listing standard."
The key takeaway is: any token listed on the Coinbase derivatives trading platform with futures trading ongoing for more than 6 months is likely to receive approval. Currently, there are about a dozen mainstream coins that meet the standard, similar to those with a predicted probability of over 85% before. The only remaining issue is the timing, with these ETFs potentially being approved in a concentrated manner between September and October of this year.
For altcoins or meme coins (such as BONK, TRUMP) that have not yet launched futures, to be ETF-ized, they will need to rely on the path of the "Investment Company Act of 1940" and adopt a different product structure. However, based on historical experience, regulators tend to prefer the "pure spot" ETF model based on the Securities Act of 1933.
Note: The SEC has announced the listing standard for cryptocurrency ETPs, but when it comes to this upcoming batch of cryptocurrency products, most will adopt an ETF structure.
