U.S. SEC’s new rules could greenlight a dozen major tokens by fall, analyst says

About a dozen cryptocurrencies could soon be approved for exchange-traded products (ETPs) under new U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) listing standards, according to Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas. In a recent post on X, he said any token with more than six months of futures trading on Coinbase’s derivatives platform could qualify. Many of these tokens had already been given approval odds of 85% or higher by Balchunas. While the timing remains uncertain, he pointed to September or October as the likely window. He also shared a snapshot of the eligible tokens listed on Coinbase.
