The move positions Canary’s XRP ETF for a potential launch on November 13, contingent on Nasdaq approving the firm’s accompanying 8-A filing.
The filing comes amid broader market anticipation following the approval of Solana, Litecoin, and Hedera ETFs earlier this week through the same auto-effective registration process. The change allows issuers to proceed without direct SEC approval if no further comments are made within the statutory 20-day waiting period.
Terrett noted that SEC Chair Paul Atkins has expressed support for companies utilizing this mechanism during the government shutdown. While not referencing the ETF directly, Atkins said he was pleased to see firms like MapLight use the 20-day rule to move forward, praising the same legal pathway leveraged by Bitwise and Canary.
