The SEC proposed yesterday a regulatory change that would significantly simplify the listing of crypto investment products with exposure to multiple assets. The initiative targets Rule 8.201-E, which governs how commodity trust shares are listed on NYSE Arca.
Under the current framework, each asset within a trust must individually meet the eligibility threshold. The new proposal would eliminate that requirement and introduce an 85/15 framework: it would be sufficient for at least 85% of the fund’s net value to be composed of qualified assets, leaving the remaining 15% free to include others that would not meet the criteria on their own.
The filing submitted to the SEC explicitly names Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and XRP as eligible assets under this framework, given that each supports futures contracts traded on regulated markets for more than six months and has an ETF offering at least 40% economic exposure. Nasdaq filed a nearly identical proposal under registration SR-NASDAQ-2026-032. The SEC has up to 45 days from publication in the Federal Register to rule, with the option to extend that deadline to 90 days.
