SEC approves of generic listing standards for Commodity-Based Trust Shares
On September 17, 2025, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved generic listing standards for Commodity-Based Trust Shares, including those holding spot commodities and digital assets.
The new framework will enable national securities exchanges to list and trade such products without filing a separate application under Section 19(b) of the Exchange Act.
By approving these generic listing standards, we are ensuring that our capital markets remain the best place in the world to engage in the cutting-edge innovation of digital assets. This approval helps to maximize investor choice and foster innovation by streamlining the listing process and reducing barriers to access digital asset products within America’s trusted capital markets,” said SEC Chairman Paul S. Atkins.
The move is expected to streamline the approval process, enhance regulatory clarity, and encourage innovation in exchange-traded products linked to commodities and digital assets.
In addition to the generic standards, the SEC also approved the listing and trading of the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund, which holds spot digital assets, and p.m.-settled options on the Cboe Bitcoin U.S. ETF Index and Mini-Cboe Bitcoin U.S. ETF Index.
The adoption of these generic standards marks a significant development in facilitating market access for new commodity and digital asset products, while maintaining safeguards designed to protect investors.
