The SEC has approved “generic listings standards” that will clear the way for spot crypto ETFs to launch, reported Bloomberg’s ETF expert Eric Balchunas on Wednesday.

The move allows exchanges to list ETPs holding spot commodities, including digital assets, without requiring individual SEC approval for each product. It also eliminates the lengthy, case-by-case approval process that previously required months or years.

“This is the crypto ETP framework we’ve been waiting for,” commented James Seyffart, who added:

SEC Smoothing The Path For Crypto

Basically, if the asset has a futures contract trading on a regulated exchange such as Coinbase for six months, it will be allowed to become a spot ETF, he explained. Aside from Bitcoin and Ethereum, there were 12 crypto assets trading as futures on Coinbase, which now have an easier path to becoming spot ETFs.

Nova Dius President Nate Geraci also applauded the move:

Two years ago, the previous SEC was still battling Grayscale over a spot Bitcoin ETF, he said before adding its amazing how far we’ve come.

The regulator also approved the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund, which holds spot digital assets based on the CoinDesk 5 Index, and afternoon-settled Bitcoin ETF options. However, it delayed the decision on the Truth Social Bitcoin ETF.

Altcoin ETFs Due Today

This week is a big one for altcoin ETFs with two highly anticipated launches today.

The REX-Osprey XRP ETF (XRPR) and the REX-Osprey Dogecoin ETF (DOJE) are both expected to begin trading on Thursday.

It will be a first for a spot XRP fund and a spot meme coin fund in the United States, and analysts expect a slew of them to follow.

Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future

The post Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. “It’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress,” writes Pipes. Getty Images Washington is addicted to taxing success. Now, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is floating a plan to skim half the patent earnings from inventions developed at universities with federal funding. It’s being sold as a way to shore up programs like Social Security. In reality, it’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress. Yes, taxpayer dollars support early-stage research. But the real payoff comes later—in the jobs created, cures discovered, and industries launched when universities and private industry turn those discoveries into real products. By comparison, the sums at stake in patent licensing are trivial. Universities collectively earn only about $3.6 billion annually in patent income—less than the federal government spends on Social Security in a single day. Even confiscating half would barely register against a $6 trillion federal budget. And yet the damage from such a policy would be anything but trivial. The true return on taxpayer investment isn’t in licensing checks sent to Washington, but in the downstream economic activity that federally supported research unleashes. Thanks to the bipartisan Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, universities and private industry have powerful incentives to translate early-stage discoveries into real-world products. Before Bayh-Dole, the government hoarded patents from federally funded research, and fewer than 5% were ever licensed. Once universities could own and license their own inventions, innovation exploded. The result has been one of the best returns on investment in government history. Since 1996, university research has added nearly $2 trillion to U.S. industrial output, supported 6.5 million jobs, and launched more than 19,000 startups. Those companies pay…
