Abstract generation in progress
Golden Finance reported that on July 1, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced the launch of a review of the regulatory rules for "new-type ETFs" and called for public comments to address the recent rapid growth of crypto ETFs and prediction market-related products.
The SEC stated that it will focus on examining whether the current ETF registration process needs adjustments, and discuss whether a unified standard framework should be established to apply to new-type ETF products that meet specific conditions, while also assessing whether some funds need to be re-registered as investment companies.
Since current Chairman Paul Atkins took office in April 2025, the SEC has approved multiple crypto ETFs, covering asset classes ranging from Bitcoin and Ethereum to SOL, DOGE, and others.
Currently, market attention has shifted to "prediction market ETFs" linked to political and economic outcomes, but the SEC has not approved related products and has delayed multiple applications.
Research firm TD Cowen pointed out that this solicitation of comments may pave the way for broader ETF innovation by 2027, including products such as event contracts, crypto assets, and single-stock strategies.
The SEC's public comment period for this review will last 60 days, which may subsequently trigger further adjustments to the ETF regulatory framework.
