SEC Shortens Approval Time for Spot Crypto ETFs: Ethereum, Solana, XRP Could Follow

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has streamlined the process for launching spot cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs), significantly reducing regulatory hurdles. This new framework allows products that meet basic criteria, such as a regulated futures market tied to the asset, to list on an expedited track, potentially shortening review timelines from 9 months to just 75 days. This change has implications for broader ETF accessibility and could lead to increased participation from institutional investors.
