The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has publicly released its request for comments regarding "Novel ETFs," which may hold crypto assets or adopt unconventional strategies. The disagreement centers on whether the filing documents should remain public before the fund begins trading and how quickly the review process should be. Crypto asset management firm Grayscale and the crypto policy organization Crypto Council for Innovation (CCI) support establishing an optional confidential filing period to reduce competitors from submitting imitation documents.Charles Schwab opposes complete confidentiality and suggests that filing documents should be made public at least 75 days in advance. Grayscale requests that the SEC respond within 45 days, while CCI argues that the confidentiality process should not extend the automatic effectiveness or review period. Venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (A16z) supports shortening the review time but emphasizes that the rigor of the review should not be reduced; trading firm Jane Street believes that accelerating the process could lead to a decline in product quality, competitiveness, and liquidity.Currently, there are 174 ETFs related to crypto assets in the U.S., with BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) managing approximately $61 billion in assets, accounting for about 38% of the total assets of related ETFs.
