Based on Cryptonews, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has instructed issuers of proposed spot ETFs for Litecoin, XRP, Solana, Cardano, and Dogecoin to withdraw their pending Form 19b-4 filings. The move follows the SEC’s approval of generic listing standards on September 18, which streamline the process for new crypto ETFs by eliminating the need for case-by-case rule changes. Under the new framework, exchanges can list crypto ETFs using predefined criteria, reducing approval timelines. Issuers now proceed directly with S-1 registration statements, and withdrawals of the 19b-4 filings are expected to begin this week. Over 92 crypto ETF applications remain under review, with several key decisions due in October and November.
