New SEC Listing Standards Could Speed Up Crypto ETF Approvals

The SEC’s new generic listing standards, introduced in mid-September, may pave the way for faster crypto ETF approvals.

These standards allow the SEC to approve investment products without individual case-by-case reviews, streamlining the process for funds like Bitwise’s Chainlink ETF.

However, the government shutdown has slowed implementation, leaving multiple ETF applications — including those for Chainlink and other altcoins — awaiting review.
