The United States Securities and Exchange Commission is reportedly considering simplifying the listing process for certain crypto ETFs.
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is reportedly exploring a simplified listing structure for crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that would automate a significant portion of the approval process.
Under the proposed overhaul, ETF issuers could potentially sidestep 19b-4 application filings, the form entities submit to the SEC before listing a financial product on exchanges, according to crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett.
Instead, issuers would submit SEC form S-1, the initial listing registration filing, and wait for 75 days. If the SEC does not object to the application, the issuer would be free to list the ETF, reducing the back-and-forth communication between fund managers and the regulator.
