The news had a limited market impact on more established digital assets like BTC, ETH, SOL, and XRP. However, it boosted CRO’s value by more than 12% to a monthly high of $0.09202.
If approved, the ETF will be listed and traded on NYSE Arca, though the fund’s ticker symbol has not yet been disclosed.
The proposed ETF will operate as a passive investment vehicle, tracking the market prices of its underlying crypto without using leverage, derivatives, or speculative trading strategies. The fund will also participate in staking for assets such as Ethereum, Solana, and Cronos, enabling it to generate staking rewards.
The filing names Crypto.com’s institutional arm, Foris DAX Trust Company, as the custodian responsible for safeguarding the fund’s assets.
Yorkville America Digital Asset Management will act as the ETF’s sponsor, overseeing operations and compliance. CF Benchmarks Ltd., a well-known index provider, will be tasked with calculating and publishing US dollar valuations for the fund’s digital assets.
In addition, the Trust may allow in-kind transactions, where Authorized Participants exchange crypto directly for ETF shares, if the NYSE Arca receives the necessary regulatory approval. However, the timeline for this approval remains uncertain.
Both filings arrive as the SEC weighs a streamlined process for listing crypto ETFs, potentially signaling broader institutional adoption soon.
“Some issuers don’t believe this framework will be fully implemented until early fall. So, no spot crypto ETF approvals until then.”
