SEC Seeks Feedback on Next-Gen ETF Rules Amid Rapid Market Growth

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has launched a public consultation on new rules for exchange-traded funds (ETFs), seeking feedback on whether existing regulations are suitable for evolving products.

The review, which will last for 60 days, aims to address the rapid growth in the ETF market, where assets under management have surged from around $4 trillion in 2019 to over $12 trillion by the end of 2025.

Crypto and traditional investment products are increasingly being introduced by issuers, including funds tied to staking, stablecoin reserves, and income strategies from companies like ProShares, Grayscale, BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, and Franklin Resources.
