The SEC considers streamlining the approval process for crypto ETFs to automate a significant portion of the process. Issuers may skip 19b-4 application filings by submitting SEC form S-1 and waiting for 75 days for approval. Details of the proposal, including eligibility criteria for cryptocurrencies, are pending confirmation.

SEC approves the first staked crypto ETF in the US, the REX Shares Solana ETF (STAK), incorporating staking rewards. The SEC faces a backlog of pending decisions on various crypto-related ETFs, including Litecoin, Dogecoin, Solana, XRP, and requests for staking features on Ether funds. Delays are expected, with final deadlines set for October.
