The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is accelerating its review of over 900 registration filings submitted during the government shutdown, according to a report by PANews. Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas highlights that the SEC’s latest guidance allows issuers who haven’t utilized a delayed effectiveness clause (8(a) path) to have their statements automatically become effective after 20 days. Issuers can also opt for the delayed clause and request accelerated effectiveness dates. Experts suggest this could spur some crypto ETF issuers, those yet to complete the 8(a) process, to expedite their market listings. Bitwise’s XRP ETF is seen as a potential candidate within this expedited timeline.
