Scott Melker: Asset managers urge SEC to ensure a fair crypto ETF process

In a recent move highlighting ongoing challenges in the cryptocurrency sector, asset managers 21Shares, Canary, and VanEck have submitted letters to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These letters advocate for a more equitable cryptocurrency ETF approval procedure.
The asset managers have expressed concerns over the existing approval mechanisms, which they argue disproportionately affect cryptocurrency financial products. With an increased interest from retail and institutional investors in digital assets, the call for transparency and fairness in the approval process becomes even more pressing. This proposal seeks to create a level playing field for crypto asset managers facing regulatory hurdles.
''Our main objective is to ensure that every player in the crypto space has a fair shot,'' said an unnamed representative from one of the involved firms. They stressed that a reformed system is essential for reinforcing the credibility and stability of the emerging cryptocurrency market.
