Since Coinbase includes native and CME-based futures, the SEC could view it as a more comprehensive benchmark.<\/p>\n<p>His colleague, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/people\/james-seyffart\/\">James Seyffart<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JSeyff\/status\/1950667985078853899\">added<\/a> that this framework effectively lets the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) determine which tokens qualify. If the SEC adopts this rule as proposed, assets approved for futures trading may automatically become eligible for spot ETF packaging.<\/p>\n<p>Seyffart added:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;There's nothing in there about market cap\/size requirements. Underlying market liquidity. Float% requirements. Nada. All about futures markets for now. At least until a spot crypto exchange joins the ISG. Right now only &#8216;coinbase derivatives' is a member from pure crypto standpoint.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Which crypto assets makes the cut?<\/h2>\n<p>The rule would allow ETF issuers to list spot products for primary tokens with long-standing futures activity if finalized.<\/p>\n<p>These include <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/bitcoin\/\">Bitcoin<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/ethereum\/\">Ethereum<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/litecoin\/\">Litecoin<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/xrp\/\">XRP<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/dogecoin\/\">Dogecoin<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/cardano\/\">Cardano<\/a>, Solana, Shiba Inu, Polkadot, Avalanche, Chainlink, Stellar, Hedera, and Bitcoin Cash. Each has maintained over six months of trading activity on Coinbase's derivatives exchange.<\/p>\n<p>However, newer or more speculative tokens like <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/bonk1\/\">Bonk<\/a> and Trump Coin, which lack established futures markets, would need to follow a different path.<\/p>\n<p>These assets could be packaged into ETFs using the Investment Company Act of 1940\u2014a more restrictive and complex route known as the &#8220;40 Act structure.&#8221; Balchunas <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/EricBalchunas\/status\/1950650708329640002\">cited<\/a> the example of the <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/solana-etf-skyrockets-to-100-million-aum-in-just-12-days\/\">REX Shares Solana ETF<\/a> as a potential model for these assets.<\/p>\n<p>This alternative structure allows products to launch without needing a 19b-4 filing.
