Analyst: SEC's New ETP Listing Standard Implies Approval of Numerous Crypto ETFs, Coinbase and CFTC Decision-Making Will Be Elevated

By: theblockbeats.news|2025/07/31 04:42:23

BlockBeats News, July 31, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Cryptocurrency ETP "Listing Standard" has today released a new trading platform filing. The filing indicates that any token listed on the Coinbase derivative trading platform and with continuous futures trading for more than 6 months is expected to receive approval to become an ETF.

Market analyst @qinbafrank stated that the three key implications of this significant change include:

1. It signifies that a large number of cryptocurrency spot ETFs are about to be approved;

2. Coinbase is the biggest beneficiary, and its launch of cryptocurrency futures will be sought after by various projects;

3. It indicates that the SEC has pre-positioned the approval authority for cryptocurrency spot ETFs to the CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission) as the primary regulatory agency that decides which assets can have futures contracts.

BlockBeats previously reported that on July 21, Coinbase announced the launch of U.S. Perpetual-Style Futures on the Coinbase derivative trading platform, a product that retains core functions of global perpetual contracts while fully complying with U.S. regulatory standards.

Imagine checking Bitcoin and Ethereum prices in a day — one minute up 5%, the next down 4%. Sharp moves, quick reversals, and sensitivity to macro signals marked the first week of 2026. After an early-year rally, both assets pulled back as markets recalibrated expectations around U.S. monetary policy and institutional flows. For traders — including those relying on AI or automated systems — this period offered a vivid reminder: abundant signals do not guarantee clarity. Staying disciplined in execution is often the real challenge.

For many traders, the core challenge is no longer generating ideas, but executing decisions consistently without constant monitoring or emotional interference. This is where AI trading bots are increasingly being adopted — not as profit guarantees, but as tools designed to translate predefined strategies into reliable, repeatable execution.
