In a twist of fate that would make even the most seasoned interstellar hitchhiker raise an eyebrow, private crypto firm 21Shares recently listed two of its ETFs-the 21Shares Polkadot ETF (TDOT) and 21Shares Sui ETF (TSUI)-on the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) on Tuesday. Both listings are part of the standard preparation process for launching new ETFs, a process as baffling and bureaucratic as trying to order a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster in a teetotaler’s bar.
It’s important to note that this DTCC listing does not indicate regulatory approval. Instead, it reflects standard operational steps and growing confidence in the underlying assets, much like how a Vogon’s poetry reflects their deep, albeit misplaced, artistic aspirations. Both ETFs still require formal approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) before they can start official trading. Because, apparently, the SEC likes to keep everyone on their toes, like a particularly sadistic game of hopscotch.
The SEC’s decision deadlines are set for November 2025 for TDOT and December 2025 for TSUI. Recently, the SEC simplified the ETF approval process by removing the need for the 19b-4 filing, making it easier for crypto ETFs to move toward official listing. This change is akin to removing one strand of spaghetti from a bowl of linguini: it’s a start, but there’s still a whole lot of mess to deal with.
Market Reaction to 19b-4 Rule Change
Starting tomorrow, October 2, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will begin issuing final decisions on crypto ETF approvals. Applications for Litecoin ETFs, including those from Canary, Grayscale, and CoinShares, will enter the final phase of the approval process. It’s like the final episode of a season of your favorite show, except instead of spoilers, you get financial regulations. Exciting, right? 🎉
Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas recently raised the odds of a crypto ETF approval to 100%, reflecting growing confidence in the SEC’s upcoming decisions. It’s as if he’s predicting the sunrise: it’s pretty much a given, but it’s nice to have someone confirm it for you.
Balchunas said, “Who’s ready for Cointober? Spot crypto ETF Deadlines start this week! Litecoin and Solana up first. Should be a wild month.” And by “wild,” he probably means “filled with paperwork, deadlines, and the occasional existential crisis.” 🌟
As crypto ETF approvals approach, the SEC warned investors to watch out for scams. Crypto users should stay alert and avoid fraud, much like how you should avoid stepping on a patch of space-time anomaly without your towel.
DTCC Listing Buzz in Crypto ETFS
Over the past few weeks, DTCC listed multiple crypto ETFs, including Fidelity Solana ETF (FSOL), Canary HBAR ETF (HBR), and Canary XRP ETF (XRPC). However, neither of those ETFs has been approved by the SEC yet. It’s like listing a new restaurant on Yelp before it’s even built-anticipation without the guarantee of a meal.
These listings are a groundwork that signals an upcoming SEC approval, but does not necessarily guarantee it. So, despite appearing on the DTCC platform, ETFs cannot trade without SEC approval. It’s like being accepted to Hogwarts but still needing to buy your wand-exciting, but not quite the magical experience yet. 🪄
