Five Crypto ETFs Move To Generic Rules
Starting October 1, 2025, five crypto ETFs — Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, VanEck Bitcoin ETF, 21Shares Ethereum ETF, Fidelity Ethereum Fund, and the VanEck Ethereum ETF — will be listed and traded under the SEC-approved generic listing standards in Amended Rule 14.11(e)(4). This change lets those funds continue listing and trading on the Cboe BZX Exchange and is intended to enhance competition to the benefit of investors.
Rule Change Became Operative Immediately
The SEC designated the proposed rule change to be operative upon filing on September 26, 2025, waiving the usual 30-day delay so the Exchange could implement the change immediately. That allowed the Exchange to proceed without waiting the typical 30-day operative period.
