SEC Expands Approval of Crypto ETFs, Accelerating Market Access

The SEC has introduced streamlined guidelines in September 2025 to expedite the approval process for crypto-based exchange traded funds (ETFs). These new rules aim to accelerate market access for assets like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, and Dogecoin (DOGE) listed on exchanges such as Cboe and NYSE Arca. This expedited process will likely increase institutional participation in the cryptocurrency sector while boosting liquidity for larger cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
