New SEC-approved listing standards for Nasdaq Texas enable the creation of actively managed, multi-asset crypto funds, permitting up to 15% of holdings in assets outside traditional exchange-traded criteria.
SEC approval of the Nasdaq Texas rule change explicitly names Bitcoin as an eligible commodity for commodity-based trusts, potentially expanding regulated multi-asset crypto products, though its legal status remains unchanged.
Ethereum is explicitly listed as an eligible commodity in the new Nasdaq Texas trust listing rules, which could facilitate more diversified crypto fund offerings despite not altering its legal classification.
Solana is named as an eligible commodity under the amended Nasdaq Texas listing standard, potentially increasing institutional accessibility through actively managed crypto trusts.
XRP is explicitly included in the SEC's Nasdaq Texas rule change as an eligible commodity for trust listings, which may broaden its use in regulated multi-asset crypto products.
The SEC has approved an amendment to Nasdaq Texas Rule 5711(d), allowing for actively managed, multi-asset crypto trusts. While the order references Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP as eligible commodities, it serves as a technical listing standard update rather than a formal legal reclassification of these assets.
No. The order is a technical amendment to Nasdaq Texas listing standards. The mention of these assets is part of a worked example and does not change their legal status under federal statute.
