Analyst: US SEC Releases New Standards for Cryptocurrency ETFs, Coinbase Futures-Linked Asset Poised to Be First Approved

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 85.00% 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. [BlockBeats]
