Crypto Regulation

Crypto firms file divergent ETF rule proposals to SEC

Crypto exchanges, asset managers, market makers and consumer groups have submitted comments to the SEC on its proposed regulatory framework for new ETFs, covering crypto assets, private assets, event contracts and leveraged strategies. The Crypto Council for Innovation urged extending some ETF relief to non-ETF exchange-traded products, while a16z argued against treating all new ETFs alike, and Grayscale opposed new portfolio limits for mature digital asset products. Chainalysis suggested using public blockchains for real-time monitoring, Kalshi backed event contracts in registered funds, and Public Citizen opposed retail access to them.

The split in comments signals a maturing regulatory battle: incumbents like Grayscale seek to protect existing product flexibility, while innovators like Chainalysis push for tech-enabled oversight. The SEC's final framework will determine whether new ETF structures—especially those tied to private assets and event contracts—face uniform constraints or carve-outs, directly shaping product diversity and retail exposure. Watch whether the SEC leans toward harmonizing rules across all ETPs or adopts a tiered approach, as that will define competitive dynamics among issuers and the pace of innovation in registered funds.
