The SEC has opened the public comment period for the Franklin XRP and Solana ETF filings intended for trading on the Cboe BZX Exchange.
The comment period follows initial filings by Cboe BZX in March, and a subsequent delay by the Commission in April, extending the decision deadline.
The SEC emphasizes that initiating these proceedings does not indicate a decision and invites stakeholders to provide comments.
The Franklin XRP ETF, governed by BZX Rule 14.11(e)(4), would enable trading of XRP-backed shares via a trust structure, with a similar filing for the Solana ETF.
This move reflects growing institutional interest in regulated investment products related to digital assets, despite the SEC's cautious stance on new crypto ETFs.
