There are at least 92 crypto exchange-traded products awaiting a decision from the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

Eric Balchunas, Bloomberg’s Senior ETF Analyst, posted on April 21 that 72 crypto-related ETFs were pending with the SEC, meaning another 20 ETFs have been filed in the past four months.

Three pending ETFs propose to offer exposure to Bitcoin 

BTC$109,861and EtherETH$4,357, while the rest target other altcoins. 

The list also includes 21Shares and Grayscale, which are seeking to get approval for their Ether staking ETFs. Earlier this month, the SEC clarified that certain liquid staking activities fall outside of its purview.

Meanwhile, Grayscale is looking to convert five of its trusts into ETFs, which include three publicly traded funds and two privately traded funds. The conversion includes funds that offer exposure to Litecoin, Solana, Dogecoin, XRP and Avalanche.

BlackRock dominates the category

Global asset manager BlackRock currently dominates the crypto ETF category.

Its Bitcoin fund, iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT), has witnessed a net inflow of $58.28 billion since its inception, while its Ethereum fund, iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA), has seen a net inflow of $13.12 billion since its inception, according to Farside Investors.

A Wednesday report indicates that ETHA might soon overtake Coinbase as the largest holder of ETH.

Meanwhile, its IBIT fund now holds more than 3% of Bitcoin’s total supply.

Notably, BlackRock now earns more in fees annually from its IBIT fund than its flagship S&P fund (IVV), iShares Core S&P 500 ETF, as IBIT’s expense ratio stands at 0.25%, while IVV’s expense ratio is much lower at 0.03%.

  • Hyperliquid Co-Founder: On-Chain Financial Differentiation Lies in Self-Custody and Transparency, Not 24/7 Trading

    On September 30, according to The Block, Hyperliquid co-founder Jeff Yan stated during the Korea Blockchain Week that 24/7 trading is not the key differentiator of on-chain venues compared to traditional exchanges. He believes the lasting advantages of on-chain systems lie in self-custody and transparency: users retain control over their own funds, which is particularly crucial when issues arise with counterparties, intermediaries, or custodians. Transparency allows users to theoretically understand everything about the system, a level of trust and neutrality that centralized institutions struggle to provide. He also mentioned that continuous trading still holds value for assets (such as commodities, stocks, and pre-IPO targets) that lack public pricing during traditional exchange closures; he believes the private equity market presents the next significant opportunity for 24/7 trading.
