Potential Surge in Crypto ETPs: Over 100 crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) are expected to launch in 2026 due to new guidance from the US SEC that streamlines the approval process, according to Bitwise researcher Ryan Rasmussen.
Impact on Market Dynamics: The anticipated increase in crypto ETPs, particularly those tracking altcoins, is seen as a bullish indicator for the market, potentially leading to an "altcoin season."
Historical Context: Despite nearly 15 years since the first Bitcoin ETF filing, there are still only a limited number of crypto ETPs available, highlighting the significance of the SEC's recent policy changes.
Broader Investment Options: The new generic listing standards will provide investors with a wider array of crypto ETPs, enhancing their investment choices and potentially improving market engagement.
