November Could Be the New October for U.S. After Shutdown Delays SEC Decisions

October was supposed to be the month when long-awaited crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) finally hit U.S. markets. Deadlines for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to approve or deny several spot crypto ETF applications were lined up throughout the month. But when the U.S. government shut down, the process froze — and deadlines stopped mattering. Now November could take October’s place. Several issuers are using a procedural route that doesn’t require an active SEC sign-off. It’s the same approach that allowed four crypto ETFs — two from Canary Capital, one…

boss

Ondo Finance urged the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to delay or reject Nasdaq’s proposal to trade tokenized securities, saying it lacks transparency and could give established market players an unfair edge. In a Wednesday letter to the regulator, Ondo — a blockchain company that issues tokenized versions of traditional assets — said regulators and investors can’t fairly evaluate Nasdaq’s proposal without public details on how the Depository Trust Company (DTC) will handle blockchain settlements. DTC serves as the main depository for US securities and facilitates their post-trade settlement.…

boss

Plume Network, a layer-2 blockchain designed to host real-world assets (RWAs), has registered as a transfer agent with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) — a move that bolsters its ability to bring traditional financial instruments onchain and streamline the issuance of tokenized securities. The company announced its registration on social media, saying the step supports its broader mission of migrating securities markets onto blockchain infrastructure. Transfer agents traditionally handle critical back-office functions for securities issuers, including maintaining shareholder registries, recording ownership transfers and managing corporate actions.  Plume said…

SEC silent on Canary Litecoin ETF Amid Uncertainties

boss

Canary Capital’s spot Litecoin exchange-traded fund is in limbo after the US Securities and Exchange Commission took no action on Thursday, the original deadline for it to make a decision. The SEC’s silence has left the crypto community uncertain about how the regulator will function amid a federal government shutdown and how its new generic listing standards would affect the timelines of dozens of crypto ETF applications awaiting approval. Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart and FOX News reporter Eleanor Terrett noted that the old 19b-4 deadlines for crypto ETF applications…

Tether Mega Raise, SEC Eyes Onchain Stocks

boss

If this week’s Crypto Biz had a theme, it’s the steady march of traditional finance deeper into crypto’s core infrastructure. Tether is reportedly courting major venture firms for a funding round that could value the stablecoin issuer alongside private tech giants like OpenAI. At the same time, US regulators are considering whether traditional stocks should trade onchain, as the convergence between the Securities and Exchange Commission, Wall Street and tokenization gains momentum. Elsewhere, JPMorgan’s Kinexys platform added a major Gulf bank as a user, while a Nasdaq-listed biotech firm built…
