SEC Rule Change Unleashes New Era of Crypto ETFs, Prompting Hashdex Expansion
A quiet but monumental SEC rule change is beginning to reshape the crypto investment landscape.
The approval of generic listing standards has allowed Hashdex to immediately expand its ETF to include XRP and Solana, signaling the start of a new phase for digital asset funds beyond the first-wave Bitcoin ETFs.
This regulatory shift reduces the need for the SEC to review each new crypto fund application in detail, effectively opening the floodgates for a more diverse set of products.
The immediate effects are already visible, with Hashdex’s expansion and last week’s approval of Grayscale’s multi-crypto fund demonstrating the accelerated pace at which complex crypto investment vehicles can now reach the market.
