Chicago Mercantile Exchange proposed simplifying the listing process for cryptocurrency ETFs

By: theblockbeats.news|2025/07/31 09:52:15

BlockBeats News, July 31st, the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) submitted a new proposal suggesting that a crypto ETF meeting standardization requirements could skip the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) case-by-case approval process to achieve automatic listing. The proposal states that if the crypto asset has been trading on a regulated market for futures for more than 6 months, the related ETF can be eligible for listing. The proposal also sets requirements for physically-backed ETFs, stating that a liquidity risk management plan must be established when more than 15% of ETF assets cannot be redeemed immediately.

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.
