On October 9, Eastern Time, representatives from Franklin Templeton went straight to meet with the SEC's Crypto Task Force to discuss regulatory exemptions for tokenized money market funds and ETFs using on-chain liquidity pools.
I. Traditional asset management giants are racing to get ahead in the compliant on-chain space
The market-wide Fear & Greed Index is stuck at 64, $BTC is trading at $82,615, and it's only up 0.73% in the past 24 hours.
The market hasn't surged at all in response to this news.
All the talk of “epic bullish news” is just wishful thinking.
This is about the on-chain trading rules for asset management products, not directly opening up new channels for $BTC spot ETFs.
In the short term, this won't bring any direct new capital into the market.
Those hype-chasing meme coins and AI-themed tokens may be surging, but they have absolutely nothing to do with this news. Don’t jump on the bandwagon.
II. Don’t get carried away before the regulatory news is official
The exemption proposal hasn’t even been released yet, and there’s no telling whether it’ll be approved. It’s perfectly normal for the market not to react.
Even if an exemption is eventually granted, it’ll be used to put traditional asset managers’ products on-chain. Ordinary retail investors won’t notice any direct impact.
Don’t blindly rush in just because you see “SEC” or “ETF.” Last time, the RWA narrative was heavily hyped, but when it finally became reality, it barely made a splash. Anyone who bought at the top got stuck there.
III. Don’t make a move until a surge in volume confirms it
The market is already short on fresh money, and the news hasn’t been finalized. Even if it does get approved later, it’ll be a “sell the news” event. Most of the money that positioned itself early has probably already left.
If you jump in now, you’re simply paying for the hype.
As for what to do, just wait. If an exemption proposal is released, first see whether trading volume expands enough to break above the previous high. Otherwise, it’s all just hot air.
If there’s no signal, hold onto your cash and wait. Don’t blindly bet on a direction.
Will Franklin get an exemption after this meeting? Comment 1 if you’re bullish, 2 if you think it won’t happen.
