SEC Approves In-Kind Crypto ETFs: A Watershed Moment for Bitcoin and Ethereum

Following much lobbying from the sector, SEC Chair Paul Atkins spearheads this approval, which highlights a bigger strategic shift toward applying accepted financial market criteria to the crypto sector. Along with this transformative change, the SEC has lifted position limits for options on particular Bitcoin ETPs to 250,000 contracts and reprimanded other crypto-related exchange products, including mixed BTC/ETH funds and fresh derivatives on spot crypto ETFs. Many leaders and observers believe that these all-encompassing changes are a vital first step toward creating a "fit-for-purpose regulatory environment," ready to speed the expansion and general adoption of crypto ETPs in the U. S. markets.
