On September 17, 2025, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) voted to approve new, generic listing standards for a class of financial products known as Commodity-Based Trust Shares. This decision applies specifically to exchange-traded products that hold spot commodities, including digital assets. This is a crucial development because it allows national securities exchanges to list and trade these products under the approved standards, creating a more efficient pathway for digital assets to enter the U.S. capital markets.
