The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) held discussions with representatives from CoinShares International Limited, including their legal advisors Chapman & Cutler LLP, to address regulatory hurdles for crypto asset exchange-traded products (ETPs). Key topics discussed during the meeting included integrating staking mechanisms within ETP structures, establishing clear standards for reviewing rule change applications for new digital asset ETPs, and addressing issues related to cryptocurrency custody. The SEC also explored the feasibility of registered investment companies investing in digital asset ETPs. CoinShares provided insights into its successful European operations, managing over $6 billion in assets through 20 publicly listed ETP products covering 13 digital assets and three indices.
