- Cryptocurrency firms file 21 new ETFs as SEC delays approvals.
- SEC delays crypto ETFs amid government shutdown, impacting filings.
- Crypto ETFs surge in filings as regulatory landscape shifts.
On Friday, cryptocurrency firms filed a wave of new exchange-traded fund (ETF) proposals. REX Shares and Osprey Funds submitted 21 crypto-related ETFs. These investments focus on digital investments like SUI, BCH, DOGE, and HYPE. Other submissions include staking aspects, taking advantage of the increased popularity of decentralized finance.
This flurry of filings comes as crypto regulations are changing. The doors to more ETF proposals have been opened by the new listing standards approved by the SEC for the exchanges. Such a shift will possibly hasten the approval of crypto ETFs. It also means that not all the funds are obliged to pass through the procedure of the 19b-4 rule, which shortens the duration of the approval.

Impact of SEC Delays Amid Government Shutdown
However, the latest government shutdown in the U.S. is a challenge. Due to the lack of resources, the SEC will not be able to take any action regarding ETF filings until the shutdown is resolved. This is postponed due to the inability of Congress to agree on finances, resulting in a government shutdown on Wednesday. Without the appropriate leadership from the SEC, the filing process can become slow.
Further shutdowns of ETF approvals are now questionable in light of the government shutdown. As the government reopened, investors are watching the situation closely in the hope that the approval process will be expedited. The reports indicate a growing interest in investing in cryptocurrency products, despite the uncertainty.
The Growing Demand for Crypto ETFs
The new ETF filings underscore the growing popularity of financial products related to cryptocurrencies. These reports encompass a range of assets, including Bitcoin and lesser-known cryptocurrencies. The market is ready to spend on new cars that provide access to digital currencies. Passing these funds would increase institutional and retail-level access to crypto.
This may be further complicated by leveraged funds, such as those postulated by Defiance ETFs LLC. The funds will help track cryptocurrencies and companies such as Tesla and Amazon. This mix of traditional equities and digital currencies can alter the dynamics of crypto investment.
The future of crypto ETFs remains uncertain, as the regulatory process is ongoing. However, the growth in filings is a sign that the market is now likely to expand. Such funds are in great demand, despite delays. Investors and firms awaiting a move that has yet to be approved are keeping a close watch on the SEC.
