SEC Grant Hiatus Pauses Review of New Crypto ETF Filings

  • —SEC grant hiatus has paused review of new crypto ETF filings since early October 2026
  • —Applications remain pending and keep their place in the queue; none were rejected
  • —Standard ETF review window is 45 days, extendable to 240 days for complex products
  • —No official SEC notice on when review activity will resume
Why it matters: The delay extends uncertainty over new crypto ETF launches and could postpone institutional inflows into the sector.
