A Special Generic: Statement On Commission Approval Of Generic Listing Standards For Commodity-Based ETPs, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, Sept. 17, 2025
Date 17/09/2025
Today, the Commission approved the generic listing and trading on three national securities exchanges of certain commodity-based exchange-traded products (“ETPs”), including ETPs holding crypto asset commodities.[1] Generic listing standards eliminate the need for prior SEC approval under Section 19(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) for each individual ETP.[2] Instead, if an ETP meets the generic listing standards, an exchange must post certain information on its website regarding the ETP within five business days after commencement of trading the ETP. The streamlined listing process will benefit investors, issuers, other market participants, and the Commission by reducing the time and resources required to bring new ETPs to market.

Passing The Buck On Reviewing Proposals To List And Trade Digital Asset ETPs, SEC Commissioner Caroline A. Crenshaw, Sept. 17, 2025
Date 17/09/2025
Today the Securities and Exchange Commission approved proposed rule changes that will allow Exchanges[1] to adopt generic listing standards for certain qualifying exchange traded products (“ETPs”) that physically hold commodities like precious metals, or more notably, digital assets.[2] As a result, such digital asset products will be permitted to list and trade on exchange without being subject to Commission review. In other words, the Commission is passing the buck on reviewing these proposals and making the required investor protection findings, in favor of fast tracking these new and arguably unproven products to market.

Staying In Our Lane: Statement On Two Recommendations From The Division Of Corporation Finance, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, Sept. 17, 2025
Date 17/09/2025
Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Cicely [LaMothe], John [Fieldsend], and Rob [Fisher]. Thank you also to the staff in the Division of Corporation of Finance, Division of Investment Management, Division of Economic and Risk Analysis, and Office of the General Counsel who worked on these items. Cicely, given that a permanent director has been named, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your leadership of the Division. Working with you has been a delight. You promote others rather than yourself, and you follow through on what you say. Your no-nonsense leadership style has enabled the Division to be productive during this transition period. You do not shy away from problems; you solve them sensibly.
