US SEC’s crypto ETF rules review delays 21Shares Spot SUI approval

2025/09/05 19:02

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has opted to delay its verdict on the 21Shares Spot SUI ETF. Such delays often indicate that the regulator wants to examine a proposal in greater detail before issuing a ruling.

On behalf of the asset manager, Nasdaq had lodged a Form 19b-4 with the SEC on May 23, requesting permission to list and trade the fund’s shares.

Since then, the regulator has extended the review period on July 22 and formally launched proceedings to determine if the SUI ETF meets the requirements for approval. It even invited the public to share written feedback, including opinions, data, and concerns on the proposal.

The US SEC has to decide on the 21Shares SUI ETF by December 21

Nasdaq had filed for the SUI ETF shortly after a major attack on Cetus that drained over $223 million and disrupted the Sui ecosystem. Nonetheless, the exchange’s team acted quickly, locking down $160 million in stolen funds and offering a $6 million reward for the recovery of the rest.

The company noted at that time, “With the funds secured, Cetus has officially entered the next phase of the recovery process. Our team is fully mobilized and working around the clock to execute the roadmap we shared earlier — from contract upgrades and liquidity restoration to preparations for relaunch.”

After that, the Sui network confirmed the hack was due to a flaw in Cetus’s math library, not its own infrastructure or programming language. It also unveiled a $10 million fund to bolster ecosystem security.

The SEC’s decision to delay the approval of the SUI spot ETF, according to some analysts, could dampen short-term confidence, as it delays the institutional participation and market expansion opportunities tied to the ETF. 

Nevertheless, the commission must make a final decision on the 21Shares SUI ETF by December 21, but could greenlight it as early as October, potentially in tandem with other altcoin ETFs.

So far, 21Shares and Canary Capital are the only asset managers to seek approval for a Sui ETF, with CBOE filing Canary’s application last month.

Analysts believe SEC delays are part of its strategy

The SEC, in August, also postponed its verdict on Grayscale’s request to incorporate staking into its ETH fund, as well as on 21Shares’ spot Ethereum staking proposal and Grayscale’s spot Dogecoin ETF filing. Additionally, it chose to extend its review period for Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs proposed by Truth Social, the social platform owned by Trump Media & Technology Group.

Nonetheless, Nate Geraci of NovaDius Wealth previously shared that he believes an SEC decision on ETF staking could be imminent, after the commission stated that specific liquid staking arrangements do not involve securities.

Analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart of Bloomberg also suggested that the SEC’s recent delays are part of a deliberate strategy to develop a unified approval framework for digital-asset ETFs. Seyffart explained that this framework would set out common listing standards, specifying which assets are eligible for inclusion and the approval criteria, eliminating the need for a separate order for each filing.

Meanwhile, the three major exchanges, Nasdaq, NYSE, and CBOE BZX, remain in discussions over standardized rules for spot crypto ETF listings with the SEC. As part of this effort, they filed amendments recently to strike “excluded commodities” from the definition of “commodity” in their listing standards.

Short-Term Bitcoin Profits Dominate For The First Time Since 2023

The post Short-Term Bitcoin Profits Dominate For The First Time Since 2023 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin is making another attempt to break the downtrend that has kept the crypto king capped since late October. Price is hovering near $91,000 as investors watch a rare shift in market structure unfold.  For the first time in more than two and a half years, short-term holders have surpassed long-term holders in realized profits, creating both opportunities and risks for BTC. Sponsored Sponsored Bitcoin Sees Some Shift The MVRV Long/Short Difference highlights a notable change in Bitcoin’s profit distribution. A positive reading usually signals long-term holders hold more unrealized gains, while a negative value indicates short-term holders are ahead. In Bitcoin’s case, the difference has dipped into negative territory for the first time since March 2023. This marks 30 months since short-term holders last led in profits. Such dominance raises concerns because short-term holders tend to sell aggressively when volatility increases. Their profit-taking behavior could add pressure on BTC’s price if the broader market weakens, especially during attempts to break the downtrend.

OKX founder responds to Moore Threads co-founder 1,500 BTC debt

OKX founder responds to Moore Threads co-founder 1,500 BTC debt

The post OKX founder responds to Moore Threads co-founder 1,500 BTC debt appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The successful stock market debut of Moore Threads, a company that’s being touted as China’s answer to Nvidia, has been overshadowed by resurfaced allegations that link one of its co-founders to an unpaid cryptocurrency debt that has been lingering for roughly a decade. Shares in the GPU maker skyrocketed to as much as 470% on Thursday following its initial public offering (IPO) on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, valuing the company at around RMB 282 billion ($39.9 billion). However, as the success was being celebrated online, a social media post revived claims that Moore Threads’ co-founder Li Feng borrowed 1,500 Bitcoins from Mingxing “Star” Xu, founder and CEO of cryptocurrency exchange OKX, and never repaid the loan. Crypto past with OKX founder resurfaces In an X post, AB Kuai.Dong referenced Feng’s involvement in a 2017 initial coin offering that raised 5,000 ETH alongside controversial angel investor Xue Manzi. Feng allegedly dismissed the Bitcoin loan, stating, “It was just that Xu Mingxing’s investment in me had failed.” Xu responded to the post with a conciliatory message, writing, “People cannot always remain in the shadow of negative history. Face the future and contribute more positive energy.” He added, “Let the legal system handle the debt issue,” and offered blessings to every entrepreneur. Feng reportedly partnered with Xue Manzi and Li Xiaolai in 2017 to launch Malego Coin, which was later renamed Alpaca Coin MGD. The project reportedly raised approximately 5,000 ETH, but it was around this period that China banned ICOs, allowing regulators to crack down on what they viewed as speculative excess and potential fraud in the cryptocurrency sector. The Bitcoin loan dispute appears separate from the ICO controversy. According to sources familiar with the matter, the original loan agreement was dated December 17, 2014, with an expiry of December 16, 2016.…
