New SEC regulations will see U.S. crypto ETFs launched quickly and help more investors access Bitcoin and other emerging digital assets.

The U.S. asset managers are getting ready to issue a new generation of crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs), in accordance with new regulatory requirements designed by the SEC. These transformations will streamline the approval process, making crypto products more accessible in the market and reducing the need for case-by-case evaluations.

In the past, ETFs would undertake significant rules towards major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. Under this new framework, products that relate to cryptocurrencies, including Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin, will be launched in early October. Experts have suggested that crypto ETF submissions will increase when companies strive to harness the growing number of investors.

The first product to take advantage of the new standards was Grayscale Investments, which scored its Grayscale CoinDesk Crypto 5 ETF 48 hours after receiving permission. The fund covers bitcoin, ethereum, XRP, solana and cardano, suggesting the growing diversity of crypto assets that can be accessed by retail and institutional investors.

The experts of the industry stressed that the updated regulations, cutting the number of days to approve to as few as 75 days, are the turning point in the crypto market. Bitwise president Teddy Fusaro described these rules as clarity and speeding up the process of innovating in the crypto ETF sector.

Even though the accelerating process is expected to enhance crypto adoption, a question exists about whether investors will crowd ETFs with tokens that many do not know. Market participants anticipate increased activity in the crypto ETF and overall digital asset investment in the run-up to the fourth quarter of 2025.
