A brief overview of the dynamics of encrypted ETFs last week
Arca, a subsidiary of the New York Stock Exchange, has submitted an
application to the SEC to "allow Grayscale's Ethereum ETF to pledge"
Arca, a subsidiary of the New York Stock Exchange, has filed an application to the SEC to "allow Grayscale's Ethereum ETF to pledge." If approved, these ETFs will be able to obtain additional returns from their large ETH holdings, which may be transferred to investors. The New York Stock Exchange filing states that the "trust" will also receive some pledge rewards.
Cboe BZX Exchange Submits Proposal to Allow 21Shares Ethereum ETF to
Participate in Pledge
The Cboe BZX exchange has submitted a proposal to allow staking Ethereum held by the 21Shares Core Ethereum ETF and awaiting a decision from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
According to Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart, this is the first ETF to submit a pledge application to the SEC. The SEC approved several Ethereum ETFs last year, including 21Shares, BlackRock and Fidelity, but many companies removed the staking feature when they registered.
SEC accepts Grayscale XRP Trust Conversion ETF applications, and the
review process has been started
According to Fox Business reporter Eleanor Terrett, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially accepted the 19b-4 application filed by Grayscale and NYSE, intending to convert the Grayscale XRP Trust ($XRP Trust) into an exchange-traded fund (ETF). While this does not mean automatic approval and does not guarantee that the SEC will eventually agree to the application, this progress shows that the SEC is more open to crypto ETFs than directly refuses to consider such products.
Previously, the exchange withdrew its Solana ($SOL) ETF application due to its tough SEC stance. However, the SEC's application for XRP ETF shows that encrypted ETFs such as LTC, DOGE, SOL, XRP still have the possibility of approval. The SEC is expected to publish the application to the Federal Gazette within a few days, when the 240-day approval window will be officially opened. In addition, XRP ETF applications from institutions such as Bitwise, 21Shares, Canary Funds and WisdomTree are still awaiting processing by the SEC.

Cboe BZX Exchange filed a proposed rule change form to support the listing and trading of Solana spot ETFs issued by 21Shares, Bitwise, Canary Capital and VanEck. Previously, the Solana ETF applications for these companies were denied.

Perspectives and analysis on encrypted ETFs
[The ETF Store President: "rug pull" by President Meme currency should
not be blamed for Crypto, technology will be further developed](https://www.chaincatcher.com/article/2167794)
Nate Geraci, president of The ETF Store, posted on X: "It only takes a few clicks to create a Meme coin, which is why 60,000 Meme coins are created every day, which is well known.
At this point, if you are 'rug pull' - whether it's Trump, Miley or others -this is not an accusation against Crypto, but your own 'pot'. For my traditional finance friends who have not played Meme coins, the focus should be on technology, not on 'grift'.
The technology is almost flawless, it is now just a real-time testing environment serving what you see, but it will evolve further from this stage. ”
[Bloomberg ETF analysts say the application progress of crypto ETF is
different, LTC leads](https://www.chaincatcher.com/article/2167486)
Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said that the application of many cryptocurrency ETFs on the market is currently progressing, describing that "most ETFs are still running to first base, while Litecoin (LTC) ETFs are close to third base."
The comment was made in response to a user’s question about the crypto ETF approval schedule, showing that LTC ETFs may progress the fastest among many applications, while other ETFs (such as XRP, SOL, DOGE, etc.) are still in the initial review phase.
Earlier this week, analysts predicted the probability of LTC , DOGE, SOL, and XRP spot ETFs being approved, with LTC up to 90%.
[Bloomberg Analyst: Solana ETF is approved by October 10, 2025 at
70%](https://www.chaincatcher.com/article/2166931)
Bloomberg’s digital asset analyst James Seyffart and senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas have disclosed the probability of approval of four cryptocurrency ETF applications, including the highly anticipated Solana ETF.
According to Bloomberg analysts' assessment, Solana has a 70% chance of officially entering traditional financial markets by October 10, 2025, the final ruling deadline of the SEC's SEC. Seyffart and Balchunas are optimistic because the SEC has recently officially accepted the 19b-4 application submitted by Grayscale, a key development that has never been achieved under former SEC Chairman Gary Gensler.
[Viewpoint: The SEC lawsuit with Ripple will be settled before the XRP
ETF is approved, as the ETF takes longer to prepare](https://www.chaincatcher.com/article/2166837)
Attorney Jeremy Hogan believes that the lawsuit between the US SEC and Ripple will be resolved before the XRP ETF is approved. It adds that this is not because it has to happen in that order, but because the ETF will take longer to perfect every detail.
