NYSE Lists Four New Spot Crypto ETFs Amid Government Shutdown
The New York Stock Exchange has posted listing notices for four new spot cryptocurrency ETFs, marking the first wave of altcoin funds to debut since the approval of Bitcoin and Ether ETFs in 2024. The listings include the Bitwise Solana Fund, Canary Capital Litecoin and HBAR Fund, and the Grayscale Solana Trust — with trading expected to begin as early as Tuesday.
The move caught many in the market off guard, as issuers had not anticipated progress from the SEC during the ongoing U.S. government shutdown. The sudden postings suggest that issuers are leveraging newly developed generic listing standards, allowing ETFs to go live without direct SEC approval.
These launches represent a major step for the digital asset sector, expanding regulated ETF exposure beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum to include networks like Solana, Litecoin, and Hedera. The development underscores how rapidly traditional finance is embracing crypto, even in the face of regulatory and political gridlock.
