Episode notes
Generic Standards Speed Crypto ETF Approvals
- The SEC set generic listing standards to streamline crypto ETF approvals and avoid one-by-one reviews.
- This will let exchanges list new crypto ETFs faster once filings meet those standards.
Compare Fees And Trading Costs Carefully
- Expect new crypto ETFs to list within a few months after filing under the new standards.
- Compare fees and trading costs before choosing, since competition may not drive fees down uniformly.
Spot Crypto ETF Performance And Structure
- Spot Bitcoin is up about 30% and spot Ethereum about 34% year-to-date in 2025 as of Oct. 8.
- Spot crypto ETFs largely hold underlying assets, so selection hinges on which cryptocurrency you want exposure to.
