The U.S. SEC is reportedly exploring a simplified approval process for certain crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This new path could allow issuers to bypass the lengthy 19b-4 application filings, instead submitting Form S-1 and potentially receiving approval within 75 days if the SEC doesn’t object. This streamlined approach could significantly accelerate the launch of various altcoin ETFs, potentially fueling a new “altseason.” The SEC recently approved the first staked crypto ETF, the REX Shares Solana ETF (STAK), and has several other crypto ETF decisions pending later this year.
