Eric Balchunas, a prominent ETF analyst, has been sharing updates on the cryptocurrency ETF space. The most important current development is that the approval process for spot crypto ETFs appears to be moving forward, with several issuers, including Bitwise, filing amendments and setting low fees to attract investors. The SEC's recent approval of generic listing standards is expected to clear the way for spot crypto ETFs to launch without further hurdles.

"Meme coin ETF era about to kick off it looks like with $DOJE slated for a Thursday launch albeit under the XX Act a la $SSK. There's a big group of '33 Act-ers waiting for SEC approval still. Pretty sure this is first-ever US ETF to hold something that has no utility on purpose"

There are XX unique stocks in the proposed 3x ETF filings looking back over 5yrs it shows XXX instances in which one of them swung by over XX% in either direction -- enough to wipe out a 3x product entirely in a single session. All that said the users of these prob don't care they'll just move on the next one. But this is why leveraged ETFs are red light in our rating system"

"Canary just filed Amendment #6 (that's how close we are) for their spot Solana ETF w/ a XXXX% expense ratio but NO CUT of the Solana staking rewards. Bitwise is 20bp exp ratio but X% of staking rewards (approx 45-50bps extra fee). Because of staking it's going to make the fees trickier to track for these. It reminds me of sec lending in total mkt and small cap ETFs some firms take cut others put all of it back into the NAV. Tough to track the data tho and it isn't part of exp ratio. However it will ALL come out in the Tracking Difference vs Solana which is the TRUE fee but almost no one uses"

"Note: Bitwise's X% (prob 45bps) includes the staking provider's cut. Canary is just saying they won't take but but they still have to pay the staking provider (we don't know how much). Ugh this is going to be messy trying to untangle all this w each filing. We'll do our best. Again it will all come out in the tracking diffirence number but that takes time to show. @JSeyff is off today but he may hace some add'l thoughts"
