SEC asks for public input on regulating next-generation ETFs

The SEC requested public comment on how ETFs investing in novel asset classes or using new strategies should be regulated. The consultation covers crypto ETFs, staking products and options-based strategies, as ETF assets under management grew from $4 trillion to $12 trillion since 2019.

• The 60-day public comment period will examine whether existing rules adequately address novel ETF structures.
• Crypto ETF issuers have expanded beyond simple price-tracking into staking, stablecoin reserves and options strategies.
• Recent filings include BlackRock's Bitcoin income ETF, Franklin Templeton's dividend-to-Bitcoin funds, and Bitwise's Bitcoin-gold ETF.
• The SEC and CFTC also recently sought feedback on harmonizing portfolio margin rules across securities and derivatives.
