- SEC introduces 20-day automatic approval for crypto ETFs via updated guidance, accelerating stalled XRP/Solana fund reviews post-government shutdown. - Canary Capital's XRPC ETF generated $58M in volume, intensifying demand for additional crypto ETFs under Project Crypto's regulatory framework. - Backlog filings will be processed in submission order, with post-effective amendments defaulting to approval unless opt-out, reducing market entry delays. - Analysts predict November surge in approvals as SEC mo

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has introduced measures to speed up the approval process for crypto-focused exchange-traded funds (ETFs) after a recent government shutdown caused delays for over 900 regulatory submissions. On November 13, 2025, the agency released updated guidance

allowing crypto ETF registration statements to automatically take effect 20 days after being filed

as long as the required language is present in the documents, eliminating the need for further amendments. This update is designed to accelerate the review of pending ETF applications, such as those based on XRP and Solana,

which were put on hold during the shutdown

This guidance is part of the SEC’s broader “Project Crypto” strategy,

which introduces a formal system for categorizing digital assets

. By removing procedural bottlenecks, the SEC is enabling issuers to move their applications forward more quickly.

For example, Canary Capital’s

XRPC ETF

, which follows

XRP

launched with $58 million in trades on November 14, 2025

. The strong debut has increased calls for regulators to greenlight more crypto ETFs,

with Bitwise and other companies reportedly ready to take advantage of the new regulations

for their XRP and

Solana

ETF proposals.

The SEC’s new guidance also addresses the backlog of applications that built up during the shutdown. The agency will review these in the order they were received,

beginning with the oldest submissions

. This method provides a clear timeline for applicants, including those planning to launch multi-asset crypto ETFs. Any post-effective amendments filed during the shutdown will be

automatically considered effective unless the issuer chooses otherwise

. This streamlined approach is expected to shorten the waiting period for crypto ETFs, which are increasingly popular among investors seeking diversified digital asset exposure.

Market analysts have responded positively, highlighting the potential for faster market expansion. “

The SEC’s decision brings essential clarity to the sector

,” commented Balchunas, who expects a wave of effectiveness declarations for crypto ETFs by the end of November. The guidance also supports the SEC’s ongoing push to update digital asset regulations,

including its latest rules on tokenized securities

. These changes mark a significant step forward for U.S. crypto regulation, aiming to balance innovation with investor safeguards.

The effects of the SEC’s updated guidance are already visible in the market. After the Rex-Osprey XRP ETF launched in September 2025, drawing in $138 million in assets,

interest in XRP-related products has climbed sharply

. With Canary’s XRPC ETF and other filings underway, 2025 is set to be a landmark year for crypto ETFs. The SEC’s actions after the shutdown, together with Project Crypto’s structured framework, are

expected to drive the most rapid expansion of U.S. digital asset ETFs so far
