CBOE Eyes Faster Crypto ETP Listings as Solana and XRP Near Key Deadlines

Wait 5 sec.

TLDR:CBOE proposes listing rules that could speed up Solana and XRP crypto ETP approvals.Solana’s six-month futures milestone on CME hits September 17, a critical date for filings.XRP could follow closely if the SEC allows the rule to take effect without delay.Staking-enabled ETPs for Solana may attract investors seeking both yield and price exposure.The race for crypto exchange-traded products is picking up speed. CBOE has filed for new Generic Listing Standards designed to make launching these products faster and simpler. If approved, this shift could put Solana and XRP at the front of the line. The move follows months of pressure for clearer rules as investors watch the market for signals. With deadlines approaching, a wave of new crypto ETPs may arrive before the end of the year.How the New CBOE Rule WorksGreg Xethalis, a crypto attorney, explained that the rule would allow an issuer to list shares if the underlying crypto has a futures contract trading on a regulated exchange for at least six months. This could apply to Solana by September 17 and XRP shortly after.Today is kind of a big day. CBOE just filed for Generic Listing Standards for Crypto Asset ETPs… NYSE and NASDAQ will likely follow suit shortly. Thread…— Greg Xethalis (@xethalis) July 30, 2025The proposal also includes a liquidity risk management program for any product where less than 85% of assets are immediately redeemable. This feature would also open the door to staking within ETPs, especially for Solana.Solana’s approval window sits at October 10. XRP’s timeline follows closely behind. Xethalis noted that the SEC could act on these filings earlier or let them move forward under the new standards.Eric Balchunas, an ETF analyst at Bloomberg, said this framework lines up with expectations. He pointed out that only coins with established futures markets would qualify first, calling out a small group of top tokens, including Solana and XRP.In terms of ETF-izing newer alt coins that don't have futures or meme coins like Bonk and Trump coin etc, that would need to go through the 40 Act and so the $SSK Maneuver. So we could see that too but in a dif structure. History shows, 33 Act is preferred bc it is pure spot.— Eric Balchunas (@EricBalchunas) July 30, 2025Impact on the Crypto MarketThese standards could speed up listings for major crypto ETPs. Balchunas suggested that September or October would be a likely launch window. In addition, staking features could make products tied to Solana especially attractive to investors seeking yield alongside exposure.Circle September 17 as a critical date. That marks six months since Solana futures launched on CME, the key requirement for the new listing path. If the SEC finalizes this rule on schedule, both Solana and XRP could see ETPs hit the market by early Q4.DOGEai, an automated crypto policy tracker, said the rule supports the goals of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act by cutting down on unnecessary friction. It would bring crypto ETPs closer to the structure of traditional commodity funds, reducing costs and making it easier for institutional and retail investors to trade.If the timeline holds, crypto’s next wave of regulated products could arrive faster than many expected. Solana and XRP may lead the charge, setting the stage for a busy fall in digital assets. The post CBOE Eyes Faster Crypto ETP Listings as Solana and XRP Near Key Deadlines appeared first on Blockonomi.
