NYSE moves ahead with listings for four new spot crypto ETFs as SEC staff process approvals despite the government shutdown.The New York Stock Exchange posted listing notices on Monday for four spot crypto ETFs set to begin trading as early as Tuesday.
The new funds follow last year’s bitcoin and ether ETF launches and include staking features. The New York Stock Exchange posted listing notices on Monday for four new spot cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds , signaling they will begin trading as soon as Tuesday. The filings include the Bitwise Solana Fund, Canary Capital Litecoin and HBAR Fund and the Grayscale Solana Trust — the latter of which is scheduled to launch Wednesday. The move surprised many in the market, as ETF issuers had not expected any decisions from the Securities and Exchange Commission during the ongoing U.S. government shutdown. The agency has been operating with a reduced staff, like the rest of the federal government — anyone not deemed essential is furloughed, and essential employees are working without pay for the duration of the shutdown. These ETFs had faced final decision deadlines earlier this month, but the shutdown pushed the process back. The sudden appearance of listing notices suggests issuers are launching the funds under the newly developed generic listing standards or taking advantage of other mechanisms that similarly allow issuers to go live with products without seeking SEC approval. Spot ETFs allow investors to gain exposure to the underlying digital assets without holding them directly. These ETFs are the first ones to launch for new crypto assets after the approval of the spot bitcoinSeveral other issuers have applied to launch similar products tied to Solana and other digital assets, both on the NYSE and rival exchanges like Nasdaq and Cboe. When those funds will be approved remains unclear, especially if the shutdown continues.AI Disclaimer: Parts of this article were generated with the assistance from AI tools and reviewed by our editorial team to ensure accuracy and adherence toStablecoin payment volumes have grown to $19.4B year-to-date in 2025.
