The SEC has just made a big move - it approved a unified listing standard for the crypto assets exchange-traded product (ETP), directly cutting the approval period down to 75 days. What does this mean? The threshold has been lowered, efficiency has increased, and the issuance of crypto ETFs has become much easier.



Insiders are doing the math: at this rate, there could be over 100 Crypto Assets ETFs flooding the market by 2026. Sounds tempting, right? But new opportunities also come with new risks.

The most concerning issue is the excessive concentration of custody rights. Currently, some mainstream custodians in the market hold absolute power, and if these institutions encounter problems, the entire ecosystem may experience a chain reaction. Analysts refer to this as "single point of failure risk" – it sounds uncomfortable.

The new regulations allow for the creation and redemption of ETPs in physical form, which indeed enhances market liquidity and efficiency. However, if the concentration issue is not resolved, even more ETFs may become fragile paper tigers. The SEC chairman stated that this is the focus of establishing an efficient regulatory framework, but the real test is yet to come.

75 days? That seems okay, but with such point shaving, 100 ETFs are flocking in, it feels like rolling out the red carpet for concentrated risk. One or two custodians hold life and death, I really love this setup. Good things are good, but we need to be cautious about risks, lest a thunderclap blows up the entire market. This wave of reform looks great, but in reality, it just pushes all the chips into the hands of centralized custodians... 75 days is fast, but can liquidity really keep up? I'm a bit skeptical. Another wave of "seemingly favourable information hiding risks" trick.

75 days? Haha, the ETF production line is going to run at full capacity now, having over a hundred by 2026 is not a problem... but we really have to be careful with the accomplice part, if one collapses, the whole army is wiped out.

75 days? This is the new gameplay... 100 ETFs pouring in, sounds spectacular but I feel it's a bit虚 I've been tracking the centralization of custody for a while, and certain large whale Wallet Address have been quite active recently. From my analysis, they should be laying out plans in advance. The paper tiger is not wrong; the real test has yet to come, to be continued...

Can it be approved in 75 days? Sounds great, but what I'm more afraid of is that these custodians will dominate, and when something happens, we're all done for.
