VanEck and Partners Challenge SEC on ETF Approval Process

·2 MIN READ·

VanEck, alongside 21Shares and Canary Capital, has submitted a letter to the SEC in Washington, D.C. on June 6, 2025, advocating for a restoration of the “first-to-file, first-to-approve” rule for crypto ETPs.

Key Points:
  • VanEck, 21Shares, and Canary Capital request SEC rule change.
  • Pleas focus on ETF fair play.
  • Potential market shifts for BTC and ETH.

The appeal underscores the need for a fairer ETF marketplace, citing potentially stifled innovation due to current simultaneous approval practice observed in recent BTC and ETH ETF cases.

In a joint letter, VanEck, 21Shares, and Canary Capital stressed that the SEC’s approach has disadvantaged smaller firms. They argue the change is vital for maintaining a competitive ETF market. Historical precedents reveal a shift in market shares shortly after regulatory decisions.

The current approach could see large entities dominate the ETF market, affecting smaller issuers as noted with ProShares’ past approval advantages. BTC and ETH stand to experience direct impacts from these regulatory dynamics.

Immediate market responses remain speculative, but the SEC’s rule could influence investor behaviors within the crypto ETP landscape. The sector may experience shifts in innovation and market opportunities as smaller firms advocate for change.

When the Commission plays favorites, it costs ETP sponsors money and makes the ETP marketplace less fair.

Analyses predict considerable market changes should the SEC adjust its stance. Historic data signals a significant advantage tied to ETF approval timing, with outcomes potentially extending beyond BTC and ETH to include emerging crypto assets. Regulatory recalibrations could redefine competitive landscapes and investment opportunities.
