Crypto ETFs Approval Despite US Government Shutdown

Despite the U.S. government shutdown, crypto ETFs will get effective with the 8-A and CERT filings. Notably, 8-A is the formal registration of ETF shares under the 1934 Act for trading on an exchange.

The issuers amended S-1 with language that lets them automatically go effective 20 days after filing. If the SEC misses the final deadline in circumstances such as the government shutdown, the S-1 filing goes automatically effective without SEC intervention.

Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart claimed he expects the Solana, HBAR, and Litecoin ETFs to start trading this week. This happened due to language in a guidance letter from the SEC’s Division of Corporate Finance, which came in the form of Q&A.

Replying to Seyffart, corporate legal expert Scott Johnsson said removing the delaying amendment is not a new process. However, it carries some additional risk, such as stop orders when the government shutdown ends or increased fraud risks.

Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) Launches Today

$15 billion AuM Bitwise Asset Management to launch the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) today on NYSE Arca. It will become the first ETF in the United States to offer 100% direct exposure to SOL with built-in staking.

Bitwise Solana Staking ETF set 0.20% as the management fee, with the fee set at 0% for the first three months on the first $1 billion in assets. Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer of Bitwise, said:

We believe Solana is one of the most exciting crypto investment opportunities that exists today. Its ability to transact huge volumes with high efficiency and low cost makes it a serious competitor for the stablecoin and tokenization markets.

The fund aims to provide investors with a best-in-class solution that maximizes staking rewards and oversight by leveraging Bitwise’s in-house staking expertise and Helius’ leading Solana staking technology.

SOL price is expected to rally after the ETF launch today. The price is up 1% in the last 24 hours and 9% in a week. However, trading volumes dropped by 2% over the last 24 hours, indicating a lack of support from traders.
