Episode notes
Record Demand For Solana Staked ETF
- Bitwise's Solana staking ETF saw massive demand at launch, signaling strong investor appetite for staked token products.
- Teddy Fusaro attributes the demand to Solana's protocol strengths and investor familiarity with its scaling narrative.
Use Auto‑Effective Filing Carefully
- Use the Securities Act automatic effective clause to list registration statements during a government shutdown.
- Ensure exchanges, auditors, authorized participants, and market makers are aligned before relying on automatic effectiveness.
Regulatory Feedback Remains Essential
- Automated effective filings are a temporary workaround, not a substitute for active regulator engagement.
- Teddy stresses regulators' feedback is still essential for new and novel crypto ETF products.
