Cboe, NYSE Arca move to streamline crypto ETF listings with SEC rule change request
Proposed filings aim to eliminate the need for individual ETF approvals and come a day after the SEC greenlit in-kind transactions for crypto funds.
The Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) has filed a rule change request with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to allow crypto fund issuers to list products under a unified framework, potentially removing the need for individual approvals for each new fund.
The filing was highlighted by ETF analyst Nate Geraci, who noted that the proposed rule change could streamline the approval process for crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
If the rule change passes, “issuers wouldn’t have to request specific approval for each crypto ETF as long as it meets certain criteria,” Geraci said.
