Abstract generation in progress
Odaily Planet Daily News: The U.S. SEC said on Tuesday that it is seeking public comment on the regulatory approach for "new-type ETFs" and evaluating whether existing fund registration and listing processes need adjustments.
This review comes amid the rapid expansion of crypto ETFs and an increase in applications for prediction market-related ETFs.
SEC Chairman Paul Atkins said the regulator wants to hear market opinions to ensure that the U.S. ETF market can effectively serve investors while continuing to grow and innovate.
Since Atkins became SEC Chairman in April 2025, the SEC has approved multiple crypto ETFs beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, including products tracking assets such as SOL and DOGE.
Currently, market attention is shifting to prediction market ETFs linked to political and economic outcomes.
The SEC has not yet approved such funds for listing and trading, and has postponed multiple related applications.
Atkins previously stated that the SEC will evaluate such products in a "transparent and prudent" manner.
In this request for comment, the SEC asks whether a standardized listing framework should be established for ETFs that meet specific criteria, and whether certain new-type ETFs need to register as investment companies.
TD Cowen analysts believe that this request for comment could drive rule changes as early as 2027, allowing the SEC to permit a wider range of ETF types, including products based on event contracts, crypto assets, and single-stock strategies. (The Block)
