The exchange had to get clearance, and the fund manager had to go through their own review. That meant lots of back and forth, uncertainty, and long delays. Now, if a fund checks all the right boxes, it can move through more quickly using preset criteria. That\u2019s a big deal for companies trying to bring ETFs tied to other cryptocurrencies, not just Bitcoin or Ethereum.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">SEC Approves Generic ETF Listing Standards<\/p>\n<p>All crypto ETFs are now auto approved if they meet basic criteria, no more waiting months for individual approvals. <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/16.0.1\/72x72\/1f447.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\udc47\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/16.0.1\/72x72\/1f538.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\udd38\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\"> Generic listing standards approved (Sept. 17)<br \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/16.0.1\/72x72\/1f538.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\udd38\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\"> SOL, XRP, LTC, DOGE ETFs can now launch on fast track<br \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/16.0.1\/72x72\/1f538.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\udd38\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\">\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/RMOLeqUCJ3\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/RMOLeqUCJ3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Blub<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/16.0.1\/72x72\/1f916.png\" alt=\"\ud83e\udd16\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\"> (@Crypto_blub) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Crypto_blub\/status\/1968458417208447194?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">September 17, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Who Benefits First<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Solana and XRP are the two tokens most likely to get through this new system early.

Speeding up approvals means more ETF options on the table, which makes crypto more accessible to regular investors who prefer to stay inside traditional finance platforms. It also opens the door for more creative fund structures and potentially broader adoption. Still, there\u2019s always the risk that a faster process could let weaker products slip through. So while the opportunity is real, <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">so<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> are the stakes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCOVER: <a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/next-crypto-to-explode\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\">20+ Next Crypto to Explode in 2025<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What\u2019s Happening Right Now<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The rule change is already live, and exchanges are lining up to take advantage of it. There\u2019s been no official word on which application will be first through the door, but several are already waiting in line. If the process goes smoothly, we could see new crypto ETFs hit the market much sooner than expected.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What Comes Next<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Keep an eye on how the first batch of ETFs performs under the new system. Watch to see if the SEC adds more clarity around what qualifies. And pay attention to how investors respond. If demand is strong and the rollout goes well, this new process could become the norm. If things stumble early, regulators may take a closer look. Either way, the timeline for bringing new crypto ETFs to market just got a lot shorter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">DISCOVER:\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/cryptocurrency\/next-crypto-to-explode\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">20+ Next Crypto to Explode in 2025\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/discord.gg\/B7Uk6agkqj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Join The 99Bitcoins News Discord Here For The Latest Market Updates<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways\">\n<h2 class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__title\">Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__list\">\n<li class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__list-item\">\n        The SEC has approved a rule change that speeds up the approval process for spot crypto ETFs on exchanges like Nasdaq, NYSE, and Cboe.    <\/li>\n<li class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__list-item\">\n        The new system allows ETFs to follow preset listing standards, cutting approval time from around eight months to about two and a half.    <\/li>\n<li class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__list-item\">\n        Tokens like Solana and XRP could benefit first, as they already have ETF filings that now face fewer delays.    <\/li>\n<li class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__list-item\">\n        Faster approvals still come with strict conditions, including market surveillance, liquidity requirements, and operational standards.    <\/li>\n<li class=\"nnbtc-key-takeaways__list-item\">\n        This change could help bring crypto ETFs to more investors through traditional platforms, while also raising pressure to maintain product quality.    <\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/news\/bitcoin-btc\/sec-updates-listing-standards-to-speed-up-crypto-etf-approvals\/\">SEC Updates Listing Standards to Speed Up Crypto ETF Approvals<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/99bitcoins.com\/\">99Bitcoins<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The SEC just made a move that could speed up how crypto ETFs get approved in the United States.
